10 Low Carb Drinks To Wet Your Whistle With In July

Enjoy if you were born on the 4th of July!
1998 or earlier to be exact.

Wondering what drinks are keto and in season?

Trick question! All drinks are in season.

BUT because summer and drinking egg nog at the pool is probably a bad idea, I have google searched my heart out to find a bunch of drinks that will get you tipsy without getting you all carby and bloated.

Note To Self (Selves?)

Drinking is great, I personally love it, and it’s also something to do in moderation. Tossing back keto drinks night after night is (1) bad for your internal organs (2) bad for your late-night snack habit. Impaired judgment meets Taco Bell meets regret.

SO please drink responsibly, hydrate, and hide your money if you’re in a 2 block radius of a T-bell or Jimmy Johns (my personal fave because bbq chips). Then, check out these great booze + keto management tips from Boozy Ketones if you feel like boning up on your booze health facts.

Let’s drink! Responsibly!

1. Low Carb Strawberry Basil Bourbon Smash

Berries, basil, and bourbon smashed together? Sounds like summer to me!

2. Skinny Keto Frozen Margarita

This frozen delight is keto and paleo friendly, but really it’s a friend to all. Especially tequila lovers.

Recipe: from gnom-gnom

3. Sparkling Peach & Thyme Mocktail

Don’t be alarmed, this is the only mocktail on the list. It’s got a hint of sugar from the sparkling juice, but swap it with some peach sparkling water and it’s suuuuper low carb. Oh, and you can add booze!

4. Low Carb Spicy Margarita

What’s better than a margarita? A keto friendly margarita. And what’s better than a keto friendly margarita?? A SPICY KETO FRIENDLY MARGARITA!!

5. Sippable Frozen Booze Tubes

Basically an adult icy pop thing, but with booze and herbs because we are fancy when we drink.

6. Sparkling Lemon Drop Martini

This drink is as summery and refreshing as the name sounds. I’d like to “lemon drop” it into my mouth…
Or, just drink it but you get the picture.

Recipe: from With Salt and Wit

7. Coconut Kefir Paloma

Healthy stuff (kefir) plus boozy stuff (tequila). Need I say more??

8. Pineapple Kombucha Cocktail

This is another way to squeeze some super-good stuff into your summer drink routine. Make sure to check your booch for added sugars to keep this low carb.

If you are a Lisa then you prepped your watermelon tequila 5 days ago in anticipation of this Friday’s #showusyourbooze. If you are an Erika you saw a watermelon at Costco, thought, imma get that, and made an unplanned version on the spur with an addition of your fackin amaze craft bitters. Which are you? 🍉🍈🌶 Post WaterMalone (5 carbs) 2 oz tequila Juice of one lime 1/2 oz @swervesweetie simple syrup Juice of couple watermelon chunks 3 dashes @bitterslab Habanero Lime bitters Tajin on dat rim . If you are a Lisa, skip the watermelon juice and instead add a double shot of Watermelon Tequila. That fits her personality to a teet. . Ps never has anyone had more relatable face tats that Posty.

There’s an easy way and a hard way to make this drink and Boozy Ketones have straight up nailed them both. These gals are #cocktailgoals and I sincerely hope you are following them on Instagram.

10. Aloe How Are You

Coconut water is out, Aloe Vera juice is in. Write that down. This is so hydrating and I imagine it would feel lovely to drink after a wicked sunburn, which is what I plan on getting this weekend now that the sun is finally out. ☀️ Aloe How Are You (3 carbs) 3 oz aloe vera juice 2 oz tequila lemon squeeze top with sparkling water I added a tiny touch of @swervesweetie simple syrup (see highlights) since the aloe vera juice was unsweetened. Watch out for which kind you get- most are presweetened. This was the only one I found unadulterated. Recipe inspired by @maggiejhoffman’s lovely book, The One Bottle Cocktail. . This aloe drink also solidifies our wish to be forever friends with the charmingly self deprecatingly named @theamateurmixologist, who also got on the aloe train today. So now we are Aloe Drink Best Friends Forever. #ADBFF (If he’s an amateur mixologist then we are two preschool dropouts blindly mixing rando liquids together.)

Lastly, another gem from the dynamic drink-slinging duo! This one is a healing concoction that will soothe your self-inflicted sunburn. Or it will contribute to it. Either way, it’s worth it.
