New Year, New Me: The Best Diet Friendly Cocktails

With these low-cal, low carb, and keto-friendly drinks, you don’t need to miss out on your favorite cocktails.

The New Year is just about here. That means a lot of us are about to be asking the same questions. 

“Can I drink alcohol on the keto diet?”

“Are there any low carb cocktails worth drinking?”

“Where can I find low calorie alcoholic drinks?”

Honestly, we were asking the same questions as the beginning of last year. But this year, it’s going to be better. 

But the answer is simple. Enjoying well-crafted, diet-friendly cocktails is easier than you ever could have imagined. 

Of course you can drink alcohol on the keto diet. There are plenty of low carb cocktails worth drinking. And low calorie alcoholic drinks are a click away from your doorstep with Spirit Hub. 

Grab the tumblers and copper mugs. It’s time to drink your New Year’s Resolutions. 

KETO MOSCOW MULES

~80 Calories

The copper mugs aren’t getting dusty during this diet, make Keto Moscow Mules.

Just because you’re kicking off a new diet this year, doesn’t mean you need to abandon your favorite Moscow Mule recipe. You just need to alter it a little bit to make these Keto Moscow Mules. 

Swap your standard vodka for Native Nectar Organic Vodka by Old Town Distilling Co., and mix it up with Swoon’s Ginger Lime Mixer. Just like that, you’ve got a keto cocktail replacement.

LOW SUGAR VODKA SODA

Put a guilt-free spin on a classic with Mr. Tom’s Certified Sugar-Free Vodka. 

No doubt about it, guilt-free cocktails are the best cocktails. And if you could make a low-sugar version of a classic cocktail that tastes just as good, maybe even a little better, why wouldn’t you?

Sugar-Free Vodka by Mr. Tom’s Spirits pairs with the naturally sugar-free Swoon Simple Syrup in the Low Sugar Vodka Soda. You may be on a diet, but your cocktails don’t need to know that.

PALEO MARGARITAS

Don’t miss out on Margarita Night just because you’re dieting. 

Paleolithic. The caveman diet. Stone-Age diet. No matter what you call Paleo, dieting is always better with a margarita, right? You’re only eating like a caveman. You can still lounge in a shady hammock, drinking Paleo Margaritas. 

With Swoon’s sugar-free Simple Syrup and a helping of Juan More Time Tequila Blanco, you’re well on your way to guilt-free rest and relaxation. And a killer summer body. Hopefully.

This Tom Collins is a skinny gentleman. At only five carbs, you can enjoy his company whenever you please. And using stevia alongside Sugar-Free Gin by Mr. Tom’s Spirits, makes this sweet sip practically sugar-free! 

We all love the traditional cherry on top. But at 2 grams of carbohydrates per cherry, it might be best to skip the topping for the low-carb iteration of the fabled cocktail.
