Refreshing and delicious, these low carb strawberry lemonade mojitos have been my go-to keto cocktail all summer long. I’m just sorry that I didn’t get a chance to share them with you before now!
The good news is that you still have a few warm weekends ahead to enjoy them before the cooler weather kicks in – and honestly these are so tasty that you may want to drink them year round!
One of the things I love about these low carb strawberry lemonade mojitos is how pretty they are! I’m not usually a girly-girl type, but it’s hard not to appreciate a pink cocktail garnished with bright green mint and beautiful red strawberries. ? ? ? ? ?
Speaking of the strawberries they are HARD to get here in Belize and it costs $10 for a one pound container! #belizestruggles
I ponied up so I’d have them for the photos though, and we really enjoyed every one of them too! I’m going to eat SO. MANY. strawberries when we’re in the U.S. in October – I don’t even care that they won’t be in season!
Also spaghetti squash, which they don’t have here either. You guys have no idea how excited I am to shop in a “real” grocery store again!!! ? ? ?
Another thing to love about these low carb strawberry lemonade mojitos is how easy they are to make! I buy a sugar free strawberry lemonade mix and prepare it according to the package directions. Then I add my white rum and mint.

Sometimes I’ll throw in a splash of soda water if I want it fizzy, which is about 50% of the time. If I know I’m going to add soda water I’ll make the strawberry lemonade a little stronger than the package directions so it isn’t too diluted – you can play around with it according to your preference!
I did a little research to make sure you guys can get sugar free strawberry lemonade mix in the states, and I found a couple of brands. Crystal Light has a new sugar free strawberry lemonade in liquid concentrate form that I found on Amazon, and you may be able to find it in stores near you.
Target’s Market Pantry line also has a sugar free strawberry lemonade in powdered form that should be easy for most of you to get. There are likely others, but those two for sure I know are out there!
Now go get your sip on, and I hope you enjoy these sugar free mojitos as much as we do! ? ? ?

At first, I was super excited about this recipe. Until I paid closer attention to the fact that it’s a packaged recipe plus rum. LAME. Give me a REAL lemonade recipe please, not something from a bag. Bleh. I’ll be making my own version, thanks.

Thanks for the feedback – you’re objection is noted. I’ll just say that while I’m a huge fan of making things from scratch, lemon juice and strawberries have more carbs than I want to spend on a cocktail. Using a pre-flavored mix for the base is not only easier, it’s also lower in carbs than making the base from the real thing – and since the end result is delicious, I’m totally OK with it!
Nice pink tint to it, looks refreshing a good pool side drink
We have come up with a great low carb cocktail which you can make with or without the vodka.
Muddle some lemon and mint, put it in a glass with an ounce or so of vodka, add club soda or Pellegrino.
Put in a couple of drops of Coconut Setvia (Kal makes the best one. Amazon has it.
We call it Clean and Green It really is a great summer drink.
Is there any word on alcohol and keto? What are the yay’s and nay’s?
When your liver is processing alcohol it’s not burning fat so it can slow you down, but if your carbs are in line then it shouldn’t kick you out of ketosis.
Thank you !
I love your blog! 6 weeks in for my husband and I and it has truly changed our lives. We could not have asked for an easier to follow lifestyle change. You are such a blessing, we truly appreciate the time and effort you put into your meal plans! Thank you!
I went off in search of something to remind me that winter will be over soon. I found this. Perfect!
So easy to make! Thanks for sharing!
This sounds perfect! I love strawberry lemonade and drink it all year long. Perfect for New Years Eve!

sounds so refreshing , thanks for sharing the recipe , a must try :)
YAS mama. Give. IT. TO. Me. <3
So alcohol won’t throw me out of ketosis?! Happy day!
In moderation and as long as it’s low carb spirits and not wine or beer that contain carbs, you can drink in moderation on keto. That being said, if your liver is busy metabolizing alcohol, it won’t be working on burning your fat – so it will slow down your weight loss if you’re drinking alcohol regularly even while you’re still in ketosis.
Where do you get sugar free strawberry lemonade? Sounds so refreshing!
Thanks!

Reread the article Cathy, she talks about that!
Thanks Gail! ?
Yes, as mentioned in the post you can get it at Target or on Amazon but probably other stores as well – what brand you use won’t really matter.
Der! I’m an idiot. Thought I read it all but obviously not! Thanks so much Melissa and Gail!
No worries Cathie, enjoy!
I did enjoy it last night! My Target didn’t have the strawberry lemonade, but it did have raspberry, which was wonderful! Thanks!
This looks yummy. Going to try this weekend.
Let us know what you think Vicki!!!
