5 Keto Cocktails You Can Drink Without Ruining the Carb Count

Everyone wonders if they can drink on a ketogenic diet. The low-carb diet allows foods such as bacon, cheese, and desserts, so it should allow alcohol too, right? Well, not quite. Alcohol should generally be avoided if you’re on a low-carb diet because it affects your rate of ketosis. While not all drinks will kick you out of ketosis, some can do it, especially if you drink a lot of them. A glass of wine or light beer is OK, but regular beer and cocktails should be avoided. Well, unless you learn how to make your delicious keto cocktails at home.

Armed with these cocktails and a customized keto diet plan, you can conquer the low daily carb allotment and still enjoy life with a margarita in your hand. A glass of the tasty famous cocktail has too many carbs, but you can switch some ingredients to keep the carb count low and enjoy the same kick.

These recipes are similar to the dirty keto diet plan which allows you to eat anything if you stay in the macronutrient ratio. Thanks to the DIY cocktail recipes we have for you below, you will stay under 50 gr. per day and enjoy your favorite cocktails.
