Keto holiday cocktail recipe:

Ingredients:

1 oz vodka
1/2 oz spiced cranberry syrup
3 oz unsweetened cranberry juice, Ocean Spray is a good choice
No sugar ginger beer, I like the Zevia brand best
Ice cubes
Cranberry, for garnish

Note: If you find this cocktail too sweet you can omit the syrup and/or swap soda water for the ginger beer. Having followed keto for a long while, I often find things sweetened with Stevia to be very sweet. Play with the amounts and don’t be afraid to use soda water instead.

Directions:

Combine vodka, syrup and cranberry juice into a cocktail glass.
Add ginger beer and ice cubes to fill the glass.
Garnish with frozen or fresh cranberries.

A great way to make a number of low carb cranberry holiday cocktails would be to double or triple this recipe and make it in a large pitcher. This makes the perfect holiday drink or Christmas punch!

Spread the holiday cheer with this keto cranberry drink, it’s sure to become one of your new favorite holiday cocktails!
