1 cup (medium) of Hibiscus Mojito (240 g) has 163 calories. That works out to 68 calories per 100 g. It contains 20.6 g of carbs, 0.2 g of protein, 0.2 g of fat and 0.2 g of fiber. Its 14.4 mg of Vitamin C covers 16% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 45 (medium), so it raises blood sugar at a moderate pace.
Hibiscus Mojito brings the mint, lime, sugar and soda of a classic Cuban mojito together with the tart, floral fruitiness of hibiscus, usually added as a tea or syrup. It may be made with rum, as a cocktail, or without alcohol as a mocktail.
Served over plenty of ice, it is sweet, tangy and cooling, with fresh mint balancing the hibiscus. It suits warm-weather sipping and is often enjoyed alongside snacks or light meals; at home, you can muddle the mint gently to release its aroma without making the drink bitter. Its energy comes mainly from carbohydrates, while protein and fat are negligible. For a less-sweet version, use less syrup and more hibiscus infusion and soda.

A Hibiscus Mojito is a mojito-style drink flavored with hibiscus tea or syrup. It typically combines lime, mint, sweetener and soda, with white rum in alcoholic versions; hibiscus gives it a tart, floral note and a deep red color.
To make a Hibiscus Mojito, gently muddle mint with lime and sugar, then add hibiscus tea or syrup, rum if desired, ice and soda. Stir gently rather than crushing the mint, which can make the drink taste bitter.
A Hibiscus Mojito contains alcohol when it is made with rum, as many cocktail recipes are. Alcohol-free versions leave out the rum and use hibiscus, lime, mint, sweetener and soda instead; ask how it was made when ordering.
A Hibiscus Mojito includes hibiscus tea or syrup, while a regular mojito does not. Hibiscus adds a red color and a tart, floral flavor; the familiar mint, lime and rum combination is otherwise often retained.
A Hibiscus Mojito tastes tart, minty and lightly floral, with sweetness varying by recipe. Hibiscus balances lime’s sharpness and contributes its distinctive color, while soda makes the drink lighter and more refreshing.
Yes, you can make a Hibiscus Mojito without rum. Combine hibiscus tea or syrup with lime, mint, ice and soda for a mocktail; keep the mint and lime for the characteristic mojito flavor.
Make hibiscus syrup for a Hibiscus Mojito by simmering dried hibiscus flowers with water and sugar, then straining and cooling the liquid. Add it gradually to the drink, since a concentrated syrup can overpower the lime and mint.
Yes, you can prepare the hibiscus base and lime juice for Hibiscus Mojitos ahead of time. Add soda, ice and freshly muddled mint just before serving so the drinks stay fizzy and the mint tastes fresh.
A Hibiscus Mojito pairs well with grilled foods, tacos and other savory dishes that can stand up to its tart, minty flavor. For a lighter snack, try fresh fruit or salty bites rather than another very sweet dish.
Children can have a Hibiscus Mojito only if it is made without rum or other alcohol. Hibiscus syrup can make the drink very sweet, so use less syrup and add soda or hibiscus tea to suit their taste.
