Tag: Sugar free mojito

Pure distilled spirits like vodka, gin, and rum contain zero sugar, making them the perfect foundation for a delicious and low-carb mixed drink. So, which cocktail is sugar free? The options are surprisingly plentiful once you know the right ingredients to use and what to avoid.

A traditional 6-ounce mojito can contain anywhere from 145 to 245 calories and up to 26 grams of sugar, rivaling the sugar content of a can of soda. This surprisingly high-calorie and high-sugar load can be misleading, given the drink's refreshing, minty reputation.

While a traditional mojito can pack over 200 calories, a homemade skinny mojito can contain as few as 100-120 calories. This significant reduction comes from swapping calorie-dense sugar and syrups for zero-calorie sweeteners and fresh ingredients, making it an excellent option for those mindful of their calorie intake.
