Gently muddle fresh mint with lime juice, then add ice and soda water. Add rum if you want an alcoholic drink. Avoid crushing the mint too hard, since torn leaves can make the drink taste bitter.
It can, but it does not have to. A traditional mojito contains rum, and leaving out sugar does not remove the alcohol; order or prepare it specifically without rum if you want a mocktail.
An unsweetened mojito typically contains mint, lime, ice and soda water, with rum in the alcoholic version. When made fresh from these ingredients, it is minimally processed, as classified for this food.
An unsweetened mojito leaves out the sugar or simple syrup used in a regular mojito. That makes the lime and mint taste sharper, while the rum and other usual ingredients may still be included.
Yes, you can add a non-sugar sweetener, but it is optional. Start with a small amount because sweeteners vary in intensity, and adding one changes the drink from strictly unsweetened to sweetened without sugar.
Spearmint is the usual choice for an unsweetened mojito because its fresh, mild aroma works well with lime. Peppermint can taste much stronger, so use less if it is the only mint available.
Either works. Club soda usually has a clean, neutral taste, while mineral sparkling water can add a noticeable mineral flavor. Choose an unflavoured option so the lime and mint remain prominent.
It is best mixed just before serving. Mint can darken and the bubbles fade as it sits, so prepare the lime and mint mixture ahead if needed, then add the chilled soda and ice at the last moment.
An unsweetened mojito pairs well with grilled seafood, chicken and fresh, savoury snacks. Its lime and mint flavours also cut through spicy food, making it a refreshing choice alongside dishes with chilli.
No, it is not a substitute for water. A nonalcoholic version provides fluid, but a rum-based mojito contains alcohol, which can increase fluid loss; choose water when hydration is your priority.

An Unsweetened mojito is a mint-and-lime drink made with soda water, usually with white rum in the alcoholic version. Fresh mint is gently muddled with lime to release its aroma, then topped with bubbles and plenty of ice. Without sugar syrup, it tastes tart, crisp and herbal rather than sweet. It is commonly served in a tall glass; you can order it as a mocktail by leaving out the rum.
Compared with sweetened cocktails, an Unsweetened mojito is a light, low-calorie choice, with 18 calories per 100 g. It pairs well with savoury snacks or grilled food, and you can adjust the lime and soda to suit your taste. If you want an especially refreshing, lighter drink, ask for extra soda and skip the rum.
