Simple Mojito Recipe (2024)

This easy low calorie Mojito Recipe is light and refreshing and just 90 calories! With just four ingredients, it’s the perfect easy summer co*cktail!

Mojitos are one of my favorite co*cktails! But sometimes I can’t do all the sugar. This low calorie version is just perfect. And if you are growing mint in your garden, you can have it all summer long!

Low Calorie Mojito Ingredients

While it is not the original, these four simple ingredients blend together perfectly. Here’s all you need:

• White Rum: Read my recommendations below.
• Fresh Mint Leaves: While you can find fresh mint all year long in the grocery store, if it is the summer months, I suggest that you buy a plant. It won’t be much more and you can make mojitos all summer.
• Lime Juice: I recommend using fresh lime juice in this (and all) co*cktail. But if you are in a pinch, bottled lime juice will work.
• Diet Soda: I love 7UP or Sprite as it gives this co*cktail a sweet flavor and another dimension of lime. If sweet drinks aren’t your thing, swap in club soda.

How to Make a Low Cal Mojito

This is a brief overview of how to make this delicious light co*cktail. For the full recipe with all of the ingredients, see the recipe card at the bottom of the post.

1. Muddle the rum, lime juice, and the mint together. This can be done with a muddler or with the bottom of a kitchen utensil, like an ice cream scoop.
2. Top with ice. Add ice to the glass.
3. Top with soda. Add in the diet lemon lime soda and then stir to combine.
