Speaking of mojitos - they come in all flavors! Two of my favorites are lemon mojitos and this fresh blueberry mojito. The hardest part? Deciding which one! 😉
Easy To Make
It's so easy to make this recipe with only a few simple ingredients plus an optional garnish of lime, mint, and cranberries. I make this co*cktail all year long because it is so light and refreshing.
Simple and Delicious
Sometimes simple is the best. You will love the tartness of the lime, combined with the freshness of the mint, and the sparkle of tonic water. This low carb vodka drink is so delicious!
Sugar Free, Low Carb, Keto
This mojito can be made with sugar substitute or regular sugar, or diet tonic water and cranberry juice - or regular. Either version will taste great. It's nice to know there are options!
To make this a keto co*cktail make sure to use diet sugar free cranberry juice, diet sugar free tonic water, and a sugar substitute with a 1:1 sugar ratio.
Cranberry Mojito Ingredients
- Fresh Lime Juice - use fresh squeezed lime for best flavor.
- Fresh Mint Leaves
- Granulated Sugar or a Sugar Substitute
- White Rum or Vodka - use whichever you have on hand or like more.
- Cranberry Juice - use sugar free if desired.
- Ice
- Tonic Water - diet or regular will work. Club soda and sprite can also be used.
- Garnish - fresh cranberries, fresh mint leaves, and lime.

Substitutions and Variations
- Use light rum or vodka.
- If you like it more tart add more lime juice
- Substitute another diet juice for the cranberry juice.
- Garnish with a pear slice and add a little pear liqueur (not sugar-free) or substitute pear vodka.
- Use regular tonic water, cranberry juice, and real sugar if you don't like diet.
- Play around with different sparkling soda, club soda, flavored sparkling waters, or low carb juices. If you use unsweetened water or juice, make sure to adjust with a little sugar or sugar substitute.
How To Make A Cranberry Mojito
1. Place fresh lime wedges and fresh mint in the bottom of a glass. Add sugar. Muddle (mush) the limes and mint together (about 6 to 8 twists).
2. Add white rum or vodka, and cranberry juice.
3. Fill glass with ice. Top off with tonic water. Give it a stir.
4. Garnish your cranberry mojito with a lime wedge, fresh cranberries, and a sprig of mint.
Cranberry Mojitos Recipe Top Tips
- Use cold ingredients (it keeps the ice from melting and watering down your drink).
- Pre-prep your ingredients if you are serving to a large amount of guests.
- Adjust the lime and even the amount of rum or vodka to your tastes.
- When you muddle the mint and lime together only give it about 7 or 8 turns. This prevents the mint from becoming bitter but is just enough to release the oils and juices.
