21 Keto Cocktails: The Best Keto Alcoholic Drinks

If you love happy hour, you’ll be pleased to know that you can enjoy low-carb cocktails on the keto diet. I’ve gathered a list of 21 keto mixed drinks that you can enjoy while on the keto diet.

The Best Keto Drinks

It goes without saying that the best beverage to drink on the keto diet is water.  Water is super hydrating, makes you feel energized, and can help you lose weight.

Water isn’t the only drink you have on the keto diet, however. There are plenty of other keto-friendly drinks including keto alcoholic drinks like wine and cocktails.

That said, moderation is key. Make sure to keep your health and weight-loss goals in mind when deciding how much to drink or how often. Drinking alcohol to excess won’t help you lose weight any faster!

Alcohol on the Keto Diet

You may be wondering, is it okay to drink alcohol on the keto diet? In short, yes — as long as you drink in moderation. Having one or two keto-friendly drinks won’t kick you out of ketosis.

But, you need to know what types of alcoholic drinks are keto-compliant, and what types of drinks to avoid on the keto diet.

Best Types of Alcohol for the Keto Diet

Some alcoholic drinks can fit into a healthy keto diet, while some contain way too much sugar. In short:

• Pure spirits like vodka and whiskey contain zero carbs.
• Wine is much lower in carbs than beer.
• Watch out for sugar in juices, sodas, and other drink mixers.
