Add the lime wedges, mint leaves, and sugar or keto sweetener to a sturdy glass. Gently muddle with a muddler or the back of a spoon until the lime releases its juice and the mint becomes fragrant.
Fill the glass with ice.
Top it off with sparkling water. Give everything a good stir so the mint, lime, and sweetness mix evenly.
Finish with a lime slice and a mint sprig. Serve right away while it’s cold and bubbly.
Notes
Mix the mint, lime, and sweetener up to 12 hours ahead and keep it in a sealed jar in the fridge. Add the ice and sparkling water right before serving so it stays crisp and fizzy.
Press the mint leaves lightly, just enough to release their aroma without bringing out bitterness.
Chill the glasses and use cold sparkling water to keep the mojito extra bubbly and refreshing.
Use crushed ice instead of cubes if you prefer a frosty, slushy texture.
Start with a small amount of sugar or keto sweetener, taste, and adjust as needed since this drink is best with only a hint of sweetness.
Add a few extra mint leaves if you want a stronger mint flavor, but remember to muddle gently.
Serve: They pair well with light appetizers like caprese skewers, prosciutto bites, or bacon-wrapped pineapple and balance spicy dishes or fruit spreads nicely.
