Keto Friendly Blueberry Mojitos (Serves 2 to 6)

Refreshing, Light & Simple to make ~ Low Carb Blueberry Mojitos. 
Many years ago, Mojitos originated in Cuba as a medicinal drink.
Moonshine was mixed with mint, lime, and sugar syrup to ward
off illness. I can't promise that a Mojito will fight diseases,
but you may feel better after drinking one of these refreshing cocktails! 

Ingredients:

3/4 cup fresh blueberries (stems removed)

4 - 6 tablespoons Lakanto Baking Sweetener**

1/4 cup packed fresh mint leaves

1/3 cup fresh lime juice***

1 cup white rum

2 cups club soda

crushed ice or ice cubes

Method:

Place the blueberries and sweetener into a blender container and blend until well pureed. Set aside. Add the mint to the bottom of a pitcher, or large measuring cup, that holds at least 6 cups of liquid. Crush the mint with a wooden spoon, mashing and stirring to release the oils and aroma from the mint. Stir in the lime juice, blueberries, rum and club soda.

Fill 6 glasses with crushed ice or ice cubes. Stir the cocktail mixture and divide evenly between the 6 glasses. Add a straw to each glass and serve. Enjoy!

**Lakanto Baking Sweetener has a finer texture than the regular Classic Sweetener. If you do not have the Baking Sweetener in your pantry, you can process the Classic Sweetener in a food processor, to create a finer texture.

***I always have fresh lime juice on hand ~ I buy a bag of limes and juice them. I freeze the juice in ice cube trays and store the lime cubes in a zipper lock plastic freezer bag. When I need lime juice, I just pop one or more cubes into a small glass bowl and allow to stand at room temperature, or microwave for 20 seconds, to melt.
