Tips for making a Low Carb Cocktail

  1. Omit simple syrup from cocktails
  2. Don’t use pre-made cocktail mixes either in powder or liquid form
  3. Don’t use sweetened forms of milks for making cocktails like piña coladas 
  4. Omit high carb fruits in large quantities
  5. Avoid fruit juices especially if they have added sugar like high fructose corn syrup
  6. Use liquid stevia or monk fruit as a sweetener

What is the lowest carb alcohol?

When it comes to low carb alcohol drinks, there is still quite a selection. Clear liquors are the best since they have no carbs, but there are also low carb beer, champagne and wines to choose from as well. 

Low Carb Liquors include

  • Rum
  • Vodka
  • Gin
  • Tequila
  • Brandy
  • Whiskey

Low Carb Wines

  • Pinot Noir
  • Cabernet Sauvignon
  • Cab Frank
  • Merlot
  • Zinfandel
  • Chardonnay
  • Sauvignon Blanc

Just be sure to avoid anything overly sweet and flavored as they are high in carbs from the sugar and sweeteners. During the fermentation process of wine making, the yeast ferments the sugar in the grapes to make alcohol. Therefor lowering the carbohydrate content of the wines.

Is rum low carb?

Rum is a great choice when you’re on a keto diet. It not only is low-carb, but it is NO carb! Make sure to chose a clear rum and not a fruity flavored rum.

How to make a watermelon mojito

For this watermelon cocktail, you want to create a nice puree with your watermelon prior to mixing together this watermelon drink. Be sure you get all the chunks for the best watermelon mojito cocktail!

From there, the basics is mixing together a few ingredients, separating them out, and adding the liquid. 

The great thing about this watermelon rum cocktail, is it can easily be made into a mocktail for kids! Just omit the rum from this watermelon rum drink, and you know have a fun refreshing summer drink for the kids! They will love feeling like they have a fancy drink just like the adults.
