Keto Vodka Drinks are among the most favorite low-carb adult beverages that you can have and not ruin your boring diet. With vodka being a pure carb-free alcohol, it is the best keto alcohol for your mixed drinks. The key is to combine with sugar-free mixers and flavorings to keep net carbs in check.
The go-tos for dudes are a regular old vodka soda with lime or lemon, or vodka and some type of flavored seltzer or diet soda, maybe a vodka martini with olives. For some sweetened-up drinks, vodka can be mixed with unsweetened cranberry juice alternatives, sugar-free syrups, and heavy cream and coffee (if you fancy a keto-friendly White Russian). Herbs as garnishes, such as mint, cucumbers, or basil, add refreshing notes to keep it interesting, but not carby.
These drinks can be light and bubbly or creamy and rich, and they are super easy to customize. They perfectly fit into ketogenic macros, so you can kick back or celebrate guilt-free.
Vodka, however, won’t break ketosis — but moderation must be exercised as alcohol can temporarily slow down fat burning. But thanks to some mindful mixers and portion control, keto vodka drinks give you all the cocktails’ sense of indulgence while sticking to those low-carb goals, making them a go-to for low-carb celebrations.
