Classic mojitos are delicious. But the sugar? Not so much. This bourbon twist on the original has less than 2 grams of carbs per serving, so you can actually enjoy it without all the mental math.

Ingredients

  • 1½ oz bourbon
  • 1 tsp erythritol or your preferred zero-carb sweetener
  • ½ oz lime juice
  • A few fresh mint leaves
  • 2 oz sparkling water

Instructions

  1. Add lime juice, sweetener, and mint leaves to a glass and muddle gently.
  2. Fill the glass with ice.
  3. Pour in the bourbon, top with sparkling water, and give it a stir.

Note: Alcohol can cause delayed hypoglycemia. Check your CGM and have a snack on hand if needed.
