Low Carb Strawberry Popsicles

Summer calls for easy, refreshing Low Carb Strawberry Margarita Popsicles! These icy, boozy treats require just 5-10 minutes of work and make the perfect party recipe. They’re cute, only require 4 ingredients, and each one is just 5 net carbs.

Sugar-free simple syrup makes these quick and keto-friendly! You can also make these without the tequila for kid-friendly strawberry lime popsicles the whole family will love. The best thing: You can keep a batch in the freezer for months so you’ll have a cold, sweet treat when the warm weather hits.

Ingredients for Margarita Popsicles

Here’s a quick overview of what you’ll need for this recipe. For exact measurements, keep scrolling down to the printable recipe card below.

• Strawberries – Cored and halved for easy blending. Taste your batch first–If the strawberries are already on the sweeter side, you may want to start with a bit less simple syrup, especially if you’ve been keto or sugar free for long.
• Tequila – This is what gives that great margarita flavor. If you prefer to make a batch without alcohol, replace with water to keep it low carb or orange juice to add more flavor. Water with sugar-free orange flavoring would work great as well.
• Lime juice + limes – Unsweetened bottled juice is fine, but you want two limes for the cute garnish slices that get skewered onto the stick.
• Sugar Free Simple Syrup – There are store-bought versions you can find (either with the mixers or sometimes in the coffee aisle), but we prefer making our own Keto Simple Syrup with liquid monk fruit. This is the least expensive and easiest option we’ve found (plus there’s no sugar alcohols in case you’re sensitive to those).

How to Make Sugar-Free Strawberry Margarita Popsicles

These easy keto-friendly popsicles are simple and quick to make! You’ll need a blender, 6 popsicle sticks, 6 5-ounce cups, and a freezer. Here’s a step-by-step guide for making this strawberry margarita recipe.

Blend margarita

Place all of your ingredients in the blender and give it a whirl! You just want to make sure there are no big chunks of strawberry; the smoother the margarita, the easier the popsicles are to eat.

Pour margaritas

Line up 6 5-ounce cups and pour about 4 ounces of margarita into each one. Get these as even as you can so that they will all be frozen at the same time when you’re ready to serve.

Assemble lime popsicle sticks

Cut and discard the ends of the limes. Cut each lime into three slices (about 1/4″ thick, depends on the size of your limes). Place a slice on the cutting board, then stab the popsicle stick through the center. Push it in 1 1/2-2″, then put in one of the margarita cups. The lime should sit right on top of the margarita. Continue until all cups have lime-skewered popsicle sticks.

Freeze

Transfer cups to the freezer and freeze for 4-6 hours. Once frozen solid, you can serve immediately! If the popsicle doesn’t pull out immediately, gently rub the outsides of the cup with your hands to warm it slightly, then lightly tug the popsicle again.

Store

These popsicles will last 3-6 months, but they have the best flavor and texture the sooner you eat them. If you plan to keep them longer than 2 weeks, place them in a freezer bag to protect them from other freezer smells in the freezer.

Tips and tricks for the BEST popsicles with alcohol

• Get the right ratio – You want to have 4 or 5 times as much non-alcoholic liquid as you have alcoholic liquid so that the popsicle will freeze. For this recipe, there 2-2.5 cups of pureed strawberries, lime juice, and simple syrup to just over 1/2 cup of tequila.
• Test before freezing – Strawberries can range from super sweet to a bit tart, so you want to taste test the margarita before pouring and freezing. Add more lime juice if it’s too sweet, more simple syrup if it’s too tart.
• Salt just before serving – Salt is tricky because it will cause the popsicle to melt much faster. If you want to salt them, I recommend placing one side of the popsicle (out of the cup) in a plate of salt and then serving immediately. We enjoyed these without salt, so feel free to skip this if you’re worried about melty messes.
• Change it up – This is a great base recipe that can be tweaked for tasty popsicles no matter your season or vibe! Swap out the strawberries for raspberries or blueberries, maybe use vodka or rum instead of tequila, or use lemon juice instead of lime juice. Infuse your simple syrup (this post has great tips for spicy, fruity, or herby syrups). If you’re watching the carbs, be careful when switching fruits as most have more sugar than strawberries.

Michelada

If you’re looking for a low-carb drink perfect for brunch, this Michelada is for you! It has only 55 calories and comes in under 5 net carbs, so this isn’t your average diet-buster cocktail. Only 4 ingredients are needed for this drink, so it comes together super easily in no time.

This drink is a type of “red beer,” a cocktail that combines beer with a tomato-based juice. These are popular because they contain a fairly low amount of alcohol but a high amount of vitamins and nutrients. For these same reasons, these Micheladas are seen as a hangover cure and might make you feel better after a long night.

Ingredients for a Michelada

Here’s a quick overview of the ingredients you’ll need. Keep scrolling down to the printable recipe card for exact measurements.

• Lime Juice – Unsweetened. Freshly squeezed is always nice, but bottled works fine as well.
• Hot Sauce – Tabasco or Cholula hot sauces complement the tomato juice perfectly, but other types can be used as well.
• Tomato Juice – Unsweetened, low sodium. The higher fiber content in tomato juice makes it a better option than V8 or clamato juice.
• Corona Premier – Any low-carb Mexican beer will work. The Corona Premier has only 2.6 net carbs, so it keeps the drink under 5 net carbs.

How to make a Michelada

This recipe is mixed right in the glass, so you don’t need a shaker or any fancy equipment. Here’s a quick step-by-step guide.

Rim glass

Cut a lime and use it to wet the rim of your pint glass. Press rim into a layer of salt and cracked pepper. Fill glass with ice.

Fill glass

Pour in the lime juice as well as the hot sauce. Add in the tomato juice, then fill glass to the top with beer. Give it a good stir and enjoy!

Serve

Micheladas make the perfect brunch beverage, so start the day with some spicy favorites like a Chorizo Breakfast Scramble or a Breakfast Burrito. For a fun weekend happy hour, try it with some Green Chile Taquitos! To enjoy with a light dinner, serve with some Salmon in Jalapeno Lime Butter or this Green Chili Stuffed Chicken.

Moscow Mule

When you need a breath of fresh air in a glass, this Moscow Mule has you covered! Using a sugar-free ginger beer, you can get that same delicious flavor without all the carbs. This keto cocktail has just 1.1 net carb each, making it the perfect happy hour drink!

Moscow Mules are all about being as cold as possible. The classic copper mug, crushed ice, chilled ginger beer, and a quick stir all work together to make your drink ice cold and your mug nice and frosty. This drink is still delicious without being ridiculously cold, though, so don’t skip it just because you may not be able to get it to its coldest!

You can make this drink as simple or as “fancy” as you’d like. For the BEST mule, use a real lime, crushed ice, good ginger beer, and serve in a copper mug. To keep it simple and convenient, use bottled lime juice, whatever ice you have, ginger ale, and any glass you can find. Either way, you’ll have a satisfying, refreshing beverage!

Ingredients for a Keto Moscow Mule

Here’s a quick overview of what you’ll need — Just 3 ingredients! Keep scrolling down to the printable recipe card for specific measurements. You will also need ice — Crushed is best, but cubed works, too.

• Lime – The absolute BEST Moscow Mule comes from using a real lime, but bottled lime juice is so convenient and will still result in a delicious drink.
• Vodka – You don’t have to worry about going for the top shelf for a good mule. Don’t go super cheap, but a “middle of the road” vodka will do just fine.
• Sugar-Free Ginger Beer – Check the label, but this should have 0 carbs! Sugar-free ginger ale can be used instead, but it will have a weaker ginger flavor.

How to Make a Moscow Mule

This drink is simple, especially since it has 3 easy, convenient ingredients. This step-by-step guide shows you how to make a Moscow Mule keto. For a non-keto Moscow Mule, just replace the sugar-free ginger beer with regular ginger beer.

Add lime

This step is a little “extra,” and you can easily skip it if you’d like. For the absolute best lime flavor, squeeze the fresh lime juice into your Moscow Mule copper mug, then toss in the rest of the lime. Yes, this does mean you will have some pulp, but the lime peel provides a ton of flavor!

If you are using bottled lime juice or would prefer to not have the pulp, skip this step and add lime with the other ingredients in the next step.

Add remaining ingredients

On top of the squeezed lime, pour in ice and vodka. If you can use crushed ice, that’s best because it’ll make the drink super cold, exactly way a Moscow Mule should be. Finally, top with ginger beer and have a quick stir to chill the entire thing.

Serve

A lime wedge or slice is the perfect garnish when serving this drink. A sprig of mint adds a touch of color and a great flavor if it’s stirred in, too!

This Moscow Mule would be delicious paired with so many foods! Many Asian cuisines rely on heavy ginger and lime flavors, so it amps up that same flavor profile in the Mule. Fresh seafood is an excellent pairing as well, but it works the opposite way — It is so neutral and fresh, it lets the drink be the star. Keep scrolling just past the printable recipe card for links to the BEST recipes for this cocktail.

This Keto Gingerbread Latte is the holiday drink of your dreams! The light sweet-and-spiced flavor of gingerbread works perfectly with the bitter coffee and creamy almond milk. This will become your favorite keto coffee drink to boost that holiday spirit!

Keto Gingerbread Latte Ingredients

Here’s a quick overview of what you’ll need. For specific amounts, scroll down to the printable recipe card.

• Espresso – You can increase or decrease this based on your preferred coffee strength.
• Sugar free gingerbread syrup – I used Skinny Syrup’s Gingerbread Latte Syrup. It’s best to start with a small amount and add more if you need.
• Steamed almond milk – Almond milk can be steamed just like milk for a nice, frothy top with fewer carbs.

How to Make a Keto Latte

This drink is so simple and can be made in no time! There are only 3 easy steps for this amazing keto coffee drink:

Pour the espresso and sugar-free syrup

The most important part of any latte is of course, the coffee! Everyone has their own preferences when it comes to the perfect cup of coffee. Personally, I love a dark roast that is strong, but not too bitter. This is my preferred roast.

For this recipe I suggest two shots of espresso per drink. However, if you would like to limit your caffeine this recipe will also work with a single shot. Simply pour the double shots of espresso in your cup and add the sugar free gingerbread syrup.

Pour steamed milk

Use the steamer wand on your espresso machine, or a stand alone milk frother and froth 6 ounces of milk or almond milk until it reaches your desired consistency. Divide the milk and froth among the two glasses.

Serve

Garnish your latte if desired. This is excellent with cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice sprinkled on top! You can also serve this latte with a keto cookie for a real treat!

If you would like to enjoy this Gingerbread Latte with more fall flavors. A stack of Keto Pumpkin Spice Pancakes or Keto Cinnamon Rolls would be the perfect breakfast with this drink. Meal prep some Grain Free Granola with Cranberries for a delicious on-the-go snack, too.

This skinny cocktail is super indulgent while still being under 2 net carbs! This drink is made for chilly evenings, curled up in a blanket with a good book.

The caramel sauce compliments the whiskey so well, and the coffee and cream really bring the drink together. So cozy up and try this skinny cocktail tonight!

Ingredients in this Coffee Whiskey drink

As always, here is a quick overview of the ingredients used in our sugar free coffee. For the complete recipe, just scroll to the bottom of the page.

• Coffee – This is best with fresh, warm coffee.
• Bourbon Whiskey – It doesn’t have to be the expensive stuff for this to turn out tasty!
• Sugar free caramel syrup – I’ve seen this at Kroger, Walmart, TJMaxx, Target, and more. They’ve got a classic and a salted version; I imagine both would be great, but I used the classic.
• Steamed heavy cream – You can also use half-and-half, but I have only done the carb calculations using heavy cream

I also garnished the mug with a Keto Caramel Sauce — It’s not necessary, but it is SO delicious! It only requires allulose, heavy cream, butter, and vanilla extract. It’s easy to meal prep and have in the fridge for a quick craving.

How do I make this caramel latte?

The most complicated thing about this latte is steaming the heavy cream! Beyond that, the drink itself is so simple — No shaker or fancy things needed. Just pour your coffee, whiskey, syrup, and steamed cream into the cup. Stir and serve!

Because I love a garnished glass, I poured Keto Caramel Sauce (you could use store bought or even a sugar free chocolate sauce) on the inside edge of your glass, tilting it so it drips down to coat the inside of your glass.

Tips for the best caramel coffee

• Add toppings! This Keto Caramel Sauce is one of my absolute favorites and it would be amazing with this recipe.
• Don’t skip the step of adding the sauce to the inside of your cup. Not only does this look impressive, it adds another layer of sweetness to your drink!
• You want your coffee to be warm for this keto drink, so all of the ingredients will blend well together.
• Make this drink to your personal preferences! If you only want a little whiskey, don’t add the full amount. Or if you prefer more sweetness to your drink, add more syrup. If you add more heavy cream, you’ll make this drink even more indulgent. It’s all up to what you want!

Can I make this sugar free coffee with decaf?

Yes, absolutely. If you are sensitive to caffeine or you just prefer decaf, you can easily use decaf in this recipe. This is a great nightcap recipe, so if you’re planning on enjoying this before bed, decaf would be ideal!

You can even make this drink with a decaf espresso, so you wind down in the evening with a delicious keto cocktail. The whiskey and the coffee compliment each other extremely well, so you really can’t go wrong with any combinations in this keto coffee drink!

What is a latte?

A latte is a combination of shots of espresso and steamed milk, or in this case, heavy cream. This creates a creamy drink and the coffee flavor is a little less noticeable than a cappuccino. 

Ingredients in this Iced Latte

As always, here is a quick overview of the ingredients used in our Vanilla Iced Latte. For the complete recipe, just scroll to the bottom of the page.

• Bourbon whiskey – Choose your favorite variety, preferably something with nice vanilla tones if you like a strong taste.
• Espresso – Made ahead of time and chilled. 
• Sugar Free Vanilla Syrup – This can often be found near the coffee aisle. Another brand or a homemade vanilla double simple syrup would work as well.
• Heavy cream – You can also use half-and-half to save some calories and fat, but I have only done the nutrition calculations with heavy cream

How do I make this vanilla latte?

All you need to make this keto cocktail is a glass! Add ice to a tall glass and pour over the espresso, whiskey, syrup and cream. Stir and enjoy!

You could easily add some sugar-free whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce for a super special drink.

Can I make this keto drink with decaf espresso?

Of course! If you are not a fan of caffeine or you want to enjoy this cocktail later in the evening, you can easily swap out the regular espresso for decaf.

Preferences for this keto coffee

This cocktail packs quite a punch, so don’t be shy about adjusting the ingredients to fit your preferences! If the bourbon is too strong for you, of course you can adjust the cocktail to include less.

You can also increase or decrease the amount of syrup, espresso or heavy cream you use in this vanilla latte. If you prefer coffee to espresso, feel free to make that substitution as well, but keep in mind that the flavor of the bourbon will be more pronounced. Make this drink completely yours so you can make it in the future to your exact preferences!

Sugar Free Syrups

There are so many fantastic types of sugar free syrups on the market now! This is the type I used in this cocktail, but if you have another one you like, go with that! There are so many flavors of these keto syrups. Caramel, mocha, peanut butter cup, mint chocolate chip– really any flavor you can think of!

I am obsessed with this Keto Simple Syrup! I’ve used it in so many of my keto cocktails. It’s sugar free, zero calorie and zero carbs! All it is is a blend of Liquid Monkfruit Sweetener and water! This homemade simple syrup will last for 2 months in the fridge, so go ahead and whip up a batch so you can be prepared for your next keto happy hour!

Here’s how you make sugar free simple syrup- stir one tablespoon of the liquid monk fruit into one cup of water. That’s it! The simple syrup can be used immediately and can be stored in the fridge or on your counter. Alternatively, you can also make a simple syrup by dissolving 1 1/4 cup of allulose into 1 cup water! This results in a thicker syrup and has less of an aftertaste than monk fruit. It’s a great option as well!

How can I use this homemade simple syrup?

I could gush on and on about all the delicious ways you can make use of this Keto Simple Syrup! You can use it in any drink that calls for simple syrup. I love it in this Sugar Free Lemonade, my favorite classic Keto Margarita or a super fun Pickleback Cocktail!

Tips for the best keto tequila drink

• Customize it! I love raspberries, but I also think that peaches would be fantastic in this cocktail. Adding peaches will change the carb count, so keep that in mind.
• If you don’t like the raspberry pieces floating in your drink, simply make this drink in a shaker, then strain the drink when you pour it into your glass.
• Only skip the mint if you really have to! The flavor from the fresh mint leaves add a great depth of flavor that really brings all the elements of this drink together.
• Liquor tends to come in large bottles, and if you’re making a pitcher of this delicious keto cocktail, it can be confusing to make the right measurements. Check out this handy guide for How Many Cups in a Quart to take the guesswork out!

Is tequila keto?

Yes, tequila is keto! Tequila is naturally completely free of any carbs. When mixing tequila with low-carb ingredients (and the 0-net carb simple syrup), it’s easy to make your favorite cocktails into keto friendly drinks!

What should I serve with this keto drink?

Personally, I think this drink would go really well with Greek or Mediterranean flavors. Serve this keto drink alongside this Greek Cucumber Salad or with a Healthy Greek Bowl. For your main course, try Grilled Salmon Kabobs or Shrimp Skewers with a side of Keto Tzatziki!

For a fun spring brunch, serve with Blackberry Brie Bites and Key Lime Pie Stuffed Strawberries! If serving as an after-dinner drink with dessert, consider adding these Salted Dark Chocolate Cheesecakes. The dark chocolate elements work well with the tangy lime, fresh mint, and sweet raspberry!

Sugar Free Strawberry Rose Limeade

This Sugar Free Strawberry Rose Limeade has got to be one of my all time favorite keto cocktails! This drink is a combination of fresh lime juice, a delicious sugar free strawberry rose syrup, sweet strawberries, vodka and soda water! I love this keto cocktail because it’s perfect for almost any occasion- a bridal shower, brunch, picnic, family get-together–really, anything!

This sugar free limeade has a delicate floral aroma that is complimented by the strawberries. Add in the vodka and soda water and this tastes just like a limeade from your favorite restaurant, but without the carbs! You can enjoy this low carb alcoholic drink for only 3.2 net carbs! And if you aren’t a fan of vodka, omit it and add more soda water instead! This drink is incredibly delicious with or without alcohol.

Ingredients in Strawberry Vodka Cocktail

As always, here is a quick overview of the ingredients in our Vodka Lemonade. For the complete recipe, just scroll to the bottom of the page.

• Lime juice – Fresh or bottled is fine. If you prefer lemonade over limeade, swap for lemon juice.
• Sugar Free Strawberry Rose Syrup – You can find this on Amazon, but I’ve also had good luck finding them at T.J. Maxx!
• Strawberries – If you wanted to reduce the carbs further, these can be left out.
• Vodka – Your favorite brand will be fine; no need to get fancy unless you want to!
• Soda water – If you have a Soda Stream and want to make your soda water strawberry or lime flavored, you could get a bolder flavor!

How do I make this Strawberry Limeade?

This rose vodka drink is ready in only 3 easy steps!

1. Muddle the strawberries, lime juice and syrup in the bottom of your glass.
2. Add ice and top with vodka and soda water.
3. Stir and top with a fun strawberry or lime garnish!

What does ‘muddle’ mean?

• If you want to make this a vodka lemonade, swap out the lime juice for lemon juice!
• You can switch out the rose syrup for this Blueberry Lavender flavor, then muddle blueberries for a fun blue/purple drink!
• If you don’t like vodka or want to make this a mocktail, leave out the vodka. This cocktail is still incredibly delicious without the alcohol. Just replace the amount with soda water.
• To cut more carbs from this drink, don’t add the strawberries. The syrup has a lovely strawberry flavor on its own… It’s not as bold this way, but it’s still tasty.
• Some people don’t like the strawberry pieces in their drink. Instead, make the drink in a shaker instead of your cup, then strain before pouring into your glass.

How many carbs in vodka?

Vodka is naturally carb free, so there are zero carbs in vodka. That’s why we use the Sugar Free Syrup in these keto cocktails so you can still enjoy a tasty drink while remaining low carb!

What should I serve with this Strawberry Rose Limeade?

This drink, to me, just says brunch! Try these Keto Ham and Cheese Quiche, Easy Frittata or this Asparagus and Cheddar Quiche for your main course! For dessert, give Keto Fruit Pizza, Keto Strawberry Thumbprint Cookies or Keto Chocolate Chip Muffins for dessert!

Vanilla Cream Soda

This creamy, sweet, delicious Vanilla Cream Soda is the perfect sugar-free drink to brighten up someone’s day! Perfect for birthday parties and showers, this simple drink will give you the classic old-fashioned soda shop flavor without packing on the sugar.

Did you know that cream soda is actually incredibly easy to make at home?! I had no idea… I imagined that me going sugar-free was the end of me enjoying the melted-milkshake flavor of cream soda. Thankfully, sugar-free syrup, soda water, and a little cream makes it possible to enjoy without an ounce of guilt! This is cheaper and more delicious than the store bought, too.

This beverage also has a lot of beautiful possibilities if you’re trying to work with a party theme! A tiny amount of food coloring added to your syrup will help make gorgeous hues without changing the flavor. Or you can offer a rainbow of possibilities by adding a menu of flavors like raspberry, blackberry, apple, and more! As long as you can find a sugar-free syrup in your preferred flavor (or an extract you can add to a homemade sugar-free syrup), you can easily create the drink of your dreams!

If you’d like, you can easily make this an alcoholic beverage as well. A shot of vodka works perfectly, and a shot of whiskey with a bit of caramel syrup instead of vanilla is absolutely amazing! The opportunities are endless here.

Sugar Free Cream Soda Ingredients

Here’s a quick overview of what you’ll need. For specific measurements, keep scrolling to the printable recipe card.

• Sparkling Water
• Sugar Free Syrup (I chose vanilla for the classic cream soda flavor, but you could choose your favorite!)
• Heavy cream or half and half
• Ice

How to make Vanilla Cream Soda without sugar

Cream soda is incredibly easy! You need some sparkling water (I use my Soda Stream), a sweet sugar-free syrup, and heavy cream or half and half. Fill a tall glass with ice, pour all the ingredients in, and mix until the glass is frosty and the cream is well-mixed.

You can try this with homemade or store bought sugar-free syrups, too! This makes cream soda a convenient, easy, and fun drink for a delicious treat!

Sugar Free Syrup

Sugar-Free syrups are extremely popular! They can be used to add to cocktails, coffees, and now soda to create flavorful drinks. My two favorite brands are Torani and Jordan’s Skinny Syrups. However, these store-bought syrups do have sucralose, and some people have reported that this has kicked them out of ketosis.

Luckily, you can get around this by making your own! You can make your own flavored simple syrup (using liquid monk fruit sweetener or allulose), then include that in your cream soda. It might take a little trial and error, but this is the perfect way to add some fun variety to your keto or sugar free lifestyle!

Tips for the BEST Sugar Free Cream Soda

• Don’t be afraid to test the measurements for yourself! You may prefer more or less syrup, more or less cream.
• Try different flavors! Torani and Jordan’s Skinny Syrups are two popular brands that carry sugar-free syrups. They come with fruity flavors, unique colorful flavors, fun fancy combinations, and delicious coffee-flavored syrups that are great for kids who want to copy adult coffee drinks without the caffeine!
• Make fresh — Do not make ahead of time. The fizz of the sparkling water, the thick heavy cream, and the sweet syrup are all at their best right when you pour and mix them with ice!
• Try with half and half instead of heavy cream. If you need a lighter beverage but still want the creamy texture, swap out the heavy cream with half and half! If you just want an Italian soda, skip the dairy completely.

What to serve with a Keto Vanilla Cream Soda

To me, cream sodas are perfect for kids’ parties and diner foods! Cream soda is so easy to customize for everyone’s preferences… You can mix and match flavors, then enjoy with or without the cream. Here are some of my favorite dishes for this drink:

• Serve kid-friendly favorites like Keto Chicken Nuggets, Pepperoni Pizza Bites, or Pizza Chaffles. Add fun side dishes like Bacon Cheddar Cauliflower Tots or Crispy Zucchini Chips to round out the meal without a ton of carbs.
• Serve with diner favorites like Keto Bacon Cheeseburgers, a Chicken Bacon Ranch Chaffle Sandwich, or even Steak and Eggs. Juicy diner food with a sweet homemade soda feels indulgent even without gluten or sugar! Adding some Crispy Keto Fries can’t hurt, either!
• Enjoy with a sweet snack… Think about these Air Fryer Brownies, Keto Whoopie Pies, or this No Bake Peanut Butter Pie.

Pickleback Cocktail

This Pickleback is a unique drink with a super interesting flavor! If you love whiskey and pickles, you will absolutely love this surprising cocktail. It’s going to be everyone’s favorite new tailgate drink this season!

Smoky bourbon, vinegary pickle juice, and tangy lime juice are all evened out with a homemade sugar-free simple syrup. It’s a well-balanced cocktail that is great to serve with a lot of bar food, grilled dishes, and meaty meals. It’s a great option for those who normally don’t like overly sweet or fruity drinks!

While I used dill pickle juice, you could easily use the juice from bread and butter pickles, spicy pickles, or whatever type you prefer. When you finish a jar of pickles, it’s easy to freeze the juice in ice cube trays, then you can thaw just enough for cocktails whenever you’d like! 

Because this isn’t a frozen drink and doesn’t include soda water, you can mix it up ahead of time, then serve on the rocks whenever you’re ready. Make a big jug of it and take for parties, camping, potlucks, tailgating, and more!

Keto Pickleback Ingredients

Here’s a quick overview of what you’ll need. Keep scrolling down to the printable recipe card for the exact measurements!

• 2 ounces bourbon
• 1 1/2 ounces pickle juice
• 3/4 ounce lime juice
• 1/2 ounce sugar free simple syrup (SO easy to make homemade with either allulose or liquid monk fruit sweetener)

How to make a Pickleback sugar free

This drink is very straightforward! Simply put the whiskey, pickle juice, lime juice, and sugar free simple syrup into a shaker with ice. Shake for about 30 seconds before straining over ice with a pickle garnish. 

Pickleback Cocktail Glassware

This drink is most often served in an old fashioned glass on the rocks. 

How to make sugar free simple syrup

Keto Simple Syrup is incredibly easy to make! I’ve had success using two different ways — One using liquid monk fruit sweetener and one using allulose sweetener! I did not have success making simple syrup by dissolving any erythritol-based products (like Swerve or monk fruit sweeteners that contain erythritol). The erythritol will begin to crystalize as it cools down, so it’s not great for mixed drinks.

Simple Syrup with Allulose:

Bring 1 1/4 cup of allulose and 1 cup of water to a boil and stir until allulose has dissolved. Let cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the fridge up to a month. This syrup has very little aftertaste and is thicker like normal simple syrup.

Simple Syrup with Liquid Monk Fruit:

Pour about 1 tablespoon of liquid monk fruit sweetener into 1 cup of water. Adjust a few drops at a time until you’ve reached your taste preference. This syrup is fairly inexpensive to make, you don’t have to bother heating up and cooling down the syrup before using it, and it makes the sweetness of your drinks to be easily adjustable.

How many carbs in whiskey?

There are zero carbs in bourbon. The danger of a whiskey cocktail usually resides in the mixers often tossed in the glass with it. However, if you can make sure to use sugar free simple syrup and choose low-carb additions, you can enjoy several bourbon cocktails without consuming too many carbs. This Keto Mint Julep has 0 net carbs (and only 0.1 total carbs)!

Why drink pickle juice on keto?

Often, people on the keto diet will recommend drinking pickle juice and eating pickles. It’s a great source of potassium and sodium, and those electrolytes are important to healthy body functions. The vinegar in pickle juice can also help curb sugar spikes, helping you stay in ketosis. The fermentation from the pickling process helps introduce more healthy bacteria into the gut, helping ease digestive issues, too!

Obviously, this keto cocktail is for fun, not for health. But it is nice to get in a little healthy boost whenever you can!

What to serve with a Pickleback drink

This is the ideal drink for juicy cookout food! For the ultimate keto tailgate, enjoy the briny drink with a Keto Bacon Cheeseburger, this Chicken Bacon Ranch Chaffle Sandwich, or these Keto Steak Wraps. Add some Smoked Queso and some Bacon Wrapped Green Beans, and you’re good to go! It’d be great with some brats or this Sausage Sheet Pan Dinner, too.

To host your own keto happy hour, enjoy bar food favorites like Jalapeno Popper Stuffed Mushrooms, Air Fryer Buffalo Wings, Ranch Zucchini Chips, and Bacon Cheddar Cauliflower Tots for the BEST low-carb snacks!

Can I make this drink ahead of time?

You could mix your bourbon, juices, and simple syrup ahead of time, just store them in the fridge without ice. Within a day or two, serve on the rocks!
