Easy Berry Mojito
Who loves a good mojito?? My only beef with a traditional mojito is that they’re just too sweet for me. I’m not a fan sweet alcoholic drinks these days, especially not in the heat of summer. I wanted this berry mojito to be low in sugar, fresh, and super easy to whip up. I’m confident I achieved all three with this easy berry mojito recipe.
Low-Sugar Mojito with La Croix Sparkling Water
- Does La Croix have alcohol? No, La Croix itself does not contain alcohol it’s simply sparkling water. In this recipe, you’ll add in white rum. If you’d like a non-alcohol option, you can omit the rum.
- How do I muddle the mint and blueberries? With any drink that contains fresh fruit or herbs, you’ll most likely need to “muddle” them. Of course, you could use the back of a long spoon, but I find using an actual cocktail muddler makes the process much easier.
- Can I swap out La Croix for tonic water? No, I would not suggest doing so in this drink. La Croix is sparkling water – which is plain water that has been carbonated and then infused with various flavors. Tonic water has a very distinct flavor of its own due to the addition of quinine.
- Is La Croix low-carb and low-sugar? Yes, La Croix contains zero carbs and sugars making it a great effervescent choice for a bubbly low-sugar and low-carb cocktail.
How to make an easy berry mojito
- Add the blueberries and mint leaves to the bottom of two high ball glasses. Using a cocktail muddler, muddle the berries and mint leaves.
- Next, add 1.5 oz. of rum to each glass. Then add the lime slices, ice, and fill to the top with La Croix lime flavored sparkling water.
- Garnish with additional mint leaves and fresh berries and serve.
Note: If it’s not sweet enough for you, you can always add in a few drops of stevia or even make a simple syrup and add a little of that in.

This looks seriously refreshing! I love Mojito’s
My husband makes the best mojitos. I will run this recipe through him..:P
This drink has summer written all over it. Love the mint and berries
This drink looks so refreshing! Using the fresh berries make it perfect for summer too.
Such great summer drink!
We loved it, as it wasn’t too sweet.
Although I added a splash of mint simple syrup but only a tiny amount. Just perfect for summer days by the pool.
Mojitos are great for spring and summer! I like that this one has some blueberries muddled with the blueberries. I think I’d freeze the blueberries for the garnish.
Mojitos are my favorite cocktail and I will definitely try your summery version with fresh blueberries and mint! It looks perfect for a lazy day in the garden!
These look so refreshing and delicious! Especially with this hot weather right now. So yummy!
Just what I need on a Friday! I like the addition of berries for a pop of color and brightness to the drink. Must make!
I love that it’s not too sweet and absolutely refreshing! The berries add a nice touch of color and great flavor.
