What is the lowest carb alcohol?

When it comes to low carb alcohol drinks, there is still quite a selection. Liquors are the best since they have no carbs, but there is also low carb beer choices, as well as some wine choices.

Just be sure to avoid anything overly sweet and flavored as they are high in carbs from the sugar and sweeteners.

If your like your alcohol…. you’ll need to find keto alcoholic drinks that won’t send you out of ketosis. First you need to focus on drinks that aren’t sweet as they will contain sugar that all breaks down the same way in your body.

Is whiskey low carb?

Whiskey is a great choice when you’re on the keto diet as it is not only low-carb… it is NO carb! Most, if not all, choices you come across will contain 0 net carb.

Whiskey is a dark liquor made with fermented grain so it generally has no added carbs or sugars – making it a great drink for the keto diet.

What is the best low carb wine?

If you’re a big wine drinker, you will want to stick to unsweetened and unflavored champagne, dry red wine, and dry white wine. These typically range in the 4-5 net carbs range but many can be found to have even less.

Dry wines are made with grapes that are not fully ripe yet and do not contain the same level of sugars as other wines and do not go through the process of adding sugar to the wine.

You’ll want to avoid any wines that claim to be “late harvest” as they are very high in sugar.

One of, if not THE lowest carb wine you’ll find is a sparkling white wine. It contains only 1.5 carbs – making it a GREAT wine to consume on the keto diet.

Do flavored vodkas have more carbs?

Flavored ANYTHING generally has more carbs. They are sweetened and no matter the source of that sweetness, it breaks down in the body the same way and can send you back out of ketosis as previously mentioned.

All major plain brands of vodka contain 0 carbs, but the sweetened versions may contain high amounts of carbs. Some brands will claim their sweetened versions have no carbs, but you’ll want to keep a close watch or just skip them completely.
