Try These Keto-Friendly Cocktails | Blog | Metagenics

​It’s not all fun and games when you’re living the low-carb lifestyle—but sometimes, it can be! Read on for a list of low-carb cocktails you can enjoy while following a ketogenic diet plan.
First, here’s a simple rule of thumb: when consumed in moderation, any hard liquor can be considered acceptable by keto standards—either by itself or with plain, sugar-free sparkling water. Many sparkling waters contain zero everything, including calories, sugar, sodium, and, of course, carbs; just make sure you check the label or ask the bartender. For extra flavor, fresh lemon or lime juice is always acceptable.
Whether you’re at home or at happy hour, these seven “ketolicious” cocktails won’t disappoint.

Vodka Soda: A simple, low-carb favorite.

​What you’ll need:

• 40-60 ml of your favorite vodka
• Plain soda water (club soda) or naturally flavored, zero-calorie sparkling water
• Fresh lemon or lime juice (optional)

Directions: Pour vodka over ice, then top with club soda. Squeeze lemon or lime wedges into your glass for a boost of fruity flavor.
Some like it sweet
You don’t have to sacrifice sweetness in your low-carb cocktail fix. Each serving of this ketogenic simple syrup contains just 2 net carbs.
What you’ll need:

• ¼ cup stevia
• 2 cups water

Directions: Boil water. Add stevia and continue to boil until all the stevia has dissolved. Remove from stove and allow to cool before use.
Remember: If you choose to indulge in alcohol, it should always be in moderation. Enjoy responsibly.
With all the keto-friendly cocktail options out there, you have yet another reason never to feel like you’re missing out on anything. Cheers!
