#65 KETO-FY YOUR FAVORITE DRINK

If your favorite drink falls under the high-carb drink list, finding a way to create a similar drink with fewer carbs can help keep you on track for the long term. That way, you’ll be able to enjoy a low-carb version of your favorite drink and you won’t feel like you’re missing out on something that you really enjoy.

Here are some ideas to get you started:

• Vodka soda: Combine 2 ounces vodka with 4 ounces lime seltzer water and a lime twist. Serve on the rocks.
• Mojito: Muddle fresh mint and lime with a small amount of granulated stevia or erythritol. Add ice, 2 ounces white rum, and 6 ounces seltzer water.
• Caribeño: Combine 2 ounces rum with 4 ounces coconut-flavored sparkling water.
• Wine spritzer: Combine 3 ounces chilled dry white wine with 2 ounces soda water. Optional: Add a splash of bitters.

You can also make your own cocktails using other low-carb mixer options like:

• Seltzer water and club soda
• Flavored seltzer water
• Keto-sweetened soda, like Zevia or Virgil’s Zero Sugar
• Stevia or erythritol
• Mint leaves
• Lemon and/or lime
• Diet tonic water (occasionally)
• Diet sodas (occasionally)
• Sugar-free drink mixes (occasionally)

Keep in mind that it’s best to avoid diet sodas and sugar-free drink mixes that have artificial sweeteners as much as possible, but if occasionally using them as a cocktail mixer will help keep you on track for the long run, it’s perfectly fine to enjoy them once in a while.
