A keto mojito is a low-carb version of the classic Cuban cocktail, the mojito. It is perfect for those following a ketogenic diet and looking for a refreshing alcoholic beverage that won’t derail their diet. The traditional recipe calls for sugar, which is high in carbs, so we’ll be using a sugar substitute instead.
