Strain into a rimmed glass filled with ice and top off with the sparkling water. Garnish with lime wedges, additional jalapeño slices, and jerky strip. Edible flowers optional. Enjoy!

2. Keto Paloma Cocktail

Similar to the margarita, the paloma is a thirst quenching tequila cocktail that's light, fruity and has a nice fizz. Instead of loading this drink up with sugary simple syrup, we've replaced it with fresh grapefruit juice and grapefruit flavored soda water.

Grapefruit flavored sparkling water

1/4 tsp grapefruit zest for extra pow

We all love a good hair of the dog when it comes to dealing with hangovers. This twist on a Bloody Mary is hearty and delicious and will kick those hangovers. For those who aren't familiar with the Bloody Maria - it's simply a Bloody Mary made with tequila instead of vodka. It's tangy, meaty, and delivers a nice horseradish bite that will keep you coming back for more. And to top it off, we garnished it with a strip of our keto-friendly Old Fashioned Original.

2 oz tequila

1 oz unsweetened tomato vegetable juice

1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Traditional Mojitos are full of sugar and extremely sweet, however, we came up with our low-carb Mojito that is completely keto-friendly and made with a keto sweetener. Rest assured this Mojito will not disappoint on the fresh mint. Part of the magic that makes this cocktail is the fresh mint leaves which you'll muddle in the bottom of the cocktail shaker. It's fresh, simple, and best of all - keto-friendly!

Ingredients:

2 oz silver tequila

1 oz lime juice

2 oz club soda

6 fresh mint leaves

1 tbsp Lakanto Classic Monkfruit Sweetener
