Amanda Dawn Looking for a Keto-friendly cocktail option? Try a Keto Moscow Mule! While alcohol isn’t typically recommended on a Keto diet, it’s okay to indulge every once in a while. And if you’re following a Keto diet but not necessarily trying to lose weight, a little alcohol might be okay in moderation. However, be mindful of your sugar intake and how much you’re consuming.
Although the name “Moscow Mule” suggests a Russian origin, it actually originated in New York City during WWII. The recipe was created at a Manhattan bar using Cock n Bull Ginger Beer.
While many flavored Moscow Mules aren’t Keto-friendly, this classic recipe is a great option to mix things up. If you’re tired of the typical vodka and club soda, give this refreshing cocktail a try! Just remember to enjoy responsibly and in moderation.
KETO MOSCOW MULE RECIPE
Ease of Preparation: Easy
Prep Time: 2 Minutes
Mixing Time: 1 Minute
Total Time: 3 Minutes
INGREDIENTS
- Ice Cubes
- 2 Ounces Tito’s Vodka
- 6 ounces Zevia Ginger Beer
- 1/2 Lime Freshly Squeezed
- 1-2 Lime Wedges (Optional)
- Fresh Mint Leaves (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a small glass (traditionally served in a chilled copper mug) fill 3/4 way to the top with Crushed Ice Cubes.
- Pour in 2 Ounces of your favorite unflavored Vodka. (examples: Smirnoff, Kettle One, Stoli, I prefer Tito’s)
- Squeeze in 1/2 of a Lime, and optionally toss the Lime Peel into the glass.
- Top off with 6 ounces of Zevia Ginger Beer.
- Optionally you can also add in some freshly picked and smacked Mint Leaves, although the more traditional recipe is typically made without. Some bars make it this way, and other’s think that this makes it too similar to a Mojito.
- Stir and Serve extremely well-chilled.
Comment Below with you favorite alterations! If you want to make this drink even more Ket0-friendly you can certainly forego the lime wedges, but then it wouldn’t really taste quite like a real Moscow Mule if you did.
