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.

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!

Spicy Watermelon Keto Margarita

This keto cocktail is going to be your go-to drink of the summer! Made with a sugar free jalapeno simple syrup, lime juice, chopped watermelon and your favorite tequila, you won’t be able to get enough of this skinny cocktail! At only 3.4 net carbs and 111 calories a serving, you can still enjoy this refreshing drink while sticking to your keto diet!

This keto drink is perfect for entertaining. The pretty light pink color makes it a great addition to any table, but especially bridal showers, brunch or any celebration you’re having! This sugar free cocktail doesn’t use any margarita mix and it also doesn’t contain erythritol, so if you are sensitive to sugar alcohols, you won’t have a problem with this low carb drink!

I added some orange sparkling water to this skinny margarita as a substitute for triple sec, but it’s completely optional. I also think a lime sparkling water would have complimented this very well. Serve with Shrimp con Queso or Steak Fajitas for an amazing keto meal! This recipe can easily be made as a frozen margarita or on the rocks.

Whether you want your margarita sparkling, on the rocks, or frozen, it’s super easy to customize. You can also adjust the amount of spice in your simple syrup to your personal preference. This drink will cure your summer watermelon craving!

Ingredients for Watermelon Margarita

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

• Sugar free simple syrup- made with liquid monkfruit sweetener and Jalapenos
• Tequila- Silver tequila (sometimes referred to as tequila blanco) is best for margaritas
• Lime juice- I used freshly squeezed, but the bottled version is also fine.
• Watermelon- chopped & seedless
• Optional: Orange sparkling water- you can use a different flavor or an unflavored sparkling water here. This just adds back some citrus flavor since we are omitting the triple sec
• Ice
• Garnish- lime wedges, salt or watermelon wedges (don’t add too much watermelon if you’re keto- it does have a high amount of carbs)

How to make Sugar Free Simple Syrup with Jalapenos

To make this keto simple syrup, slice up 1-2 jalapenos and add to a small pot with 1.25 cups of water. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Strain your water into a jar and add 1 tablespoon of liquid monkfruit. Store in the fridge for several weeks. Give your jar a good shake to make sure you get good, balanced flavor. 

This sugar free simple syrup is so easy to make and can be customized to your particular spicy or sweetness level! If you prefer more or less sweetness, then adjust your liquid monkfruit accordingly. For additional heat, increase your jalapenos. 1 jalapeno without the seeds is going to give you a very mild flavor with just a hint of spice (perfect for those who don’t love spicy recipes). Two jalapenos without the seeds is mildly spicy, but if you prefer a hotter flavor, just add the seeds of the jalapenos!

How to make a Keto Margarita

Add your tequila, lime juice, simple syrup and watermelon to a blender. If you’re making frozen margaritas, add a glass full of ice. Blend until the watermelon is well incorporated with the rest of the ingredients. If you’re using ice, blend to a slushie consistency. Salt the rim of your glass. If you’re serving on the rocks, add ice to your glass. Add your blended ingredients, top with sparkling water and serve!

Can you make frozen margaritas?

Absolutely! Just blend everything with ice, except for the sparkling water, which you’ll add right before serving. You can use fresh or frozen watermelon.

Keto Paloma

It’s finally getting warm out, so that means it’s time for a cocktail! This sugar free Keto Paloma is everything you could ever want in a refreshing, tasty drink! This is perfect for sipping by the pool or enjoying on the porch! With no sugar, no sugar alcohols, and only 1.6 net carbs, you can’t ask for a better keto cocktail!

Usually a paloma is made with grapefruit soda like Jarritos, but that has way too much sugar for my keto diet. So instead, I use grapefruit soda water and just a squeeze of a grapefruit wedge to cut the carbs! I also add Liquid Monkfruit to add some sweetness. Combined with the fresh squeezed lime juice and tequila, this cocktail is the perfect way to celebrate the season!

If you’re a fan of low carb drinks, try this Keto Margarita or Keto Mojito!

Ingredients in this keto cocktail

As always, here is a quick overview of the ingredients used in our low carb cocktail. For the complete, printable recipe, just scroll to the bottom of the page.

• Silver tequila
• Lime juice- I recommend using freshly squeezed for the best flavor
• Grapefruit juice- again, I would use fresh grapefruit juice. You only need one wedge per drink, so each grapefruit is good for several cocktails.
• Monkfruit liquid sweetener
• Grapefruit soda water- I used a Soda Stream, but you can also buy grapefruit soda water at many grocery stores
• Ice

How do you make a keto drink?

This keto Mexican recipe comes together so easily! First, take a drink shaker and add ice. Next, combine the tequila, lime juice, grapefruit juice and the monk fruit liquid sweetener. Shake until cold. Strain your keto cocktail and pour into a highball glass. Garnish with a lime or grapefruit wedge. You can also salt the rim if you want!

How many carbs are in a keto Paloma?

This keto cocktail has only 1.6 net carbs in a 13 ounce drink! This keto drink also has no sugar or sugar alcohols, making it a perfect low carb cocktail!

Liquid Monk Fruit Sweetener

This keto Mexican recipe uses Liquid Monkfruit Sweetener. The bottle is small, but a little goes a long way with this. I only used 8 drops in my keto Paloma, but you may like yours more or less sweet, so I recommend adding a few drops and tasting your drink to see if it is to your sweetness preference. This keto sweetener has zero carbs, zero sugar, and zero calories!

You can use other liquid sweeteners, but please be aware that not all liquid sweeteners have the same level of sweetness–Start out with a few drops and add as you need!

Can I make this keto cocktail ahead of time?

While this low carb drink is best fresh because of the carbonation, you can prepare it ahead of time. Add all of your ingredients to a pitcher, except omit the ice and store in the fridge. When you are ready to serve, prepare your cocktail as described above. If you aren’t serving for several hours, leave out the soda water and simply add it when you’re ready to serve. This helps keep the drink light and bubbly!

What should I serve with this keto Paloma?

This drink goes perfectly with so many delicious dishes! One of my favorites is Shrimp con Queso, but Steak Fajitas would also be a great pairing. Keto Chimichangas are always a hit, as well as Keto Sour Cream Enchiladas.

Ingredients for Cilantro Lime Shrimp and Rice

As always, you will find the complete recipe below, just keep scrolling. This is a quick overview of the ingredients you will need for this recipe:

• Olive oil: use a high quality extra virgin olive oil for best results, you can substitute avocado oil if you prefer.
• Butter: I use salted butter, but if you are sensitive to sodium use unsalted so you can control the amount of salt in the dish. 
• Garlic: fresh minced garlic provides the best flavor. 
• Limes: you will need fresh limes for this recipe, as you will be using both the zest and juice.  
• Cilantro: freshly chopped cilantro is advised over dried cilantro. 
• Spices: chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper
• Shrimp: for ease of use, I prefer to purchase shrimp where the shells have already been removed. 

Tips for the Best Cilantro Lime Shrimp

• Purchase raw, deveined, shelled shrimp: to make this recipe come together super fast purchase uncooked (not pink) already deveined and shelled shrimp. This takes out basically all of the prep work required for this recipe. 
• Jumbo Shrimp: shrimp can be easy to overcook. Often, when cooking very small shrimp, sometimes referred to as salad shrimp, they can be tough and rubbery. This is because the cooking time for shrimp is so short it is very easy to overcook. Jumbo shrimp is juicy, flavorful and is harder to overcook, making it more fail-proof than other varieties. 
• Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh garlic, limes and cilantro for the absolute best flavor possible! 
• Use the Right Skillet: use a large, heavy bottom skillet, such as a cast iron skillet so the shrimp isn’t overcrowded and the dish cooks evenly.
