5 Keto-Friendly Whisky Cocktails
The Ketogenic diet is a low-carb, high-fat diet that’s taken the world by storm.
While alcohol isn’t usually “keto-friendly”, it’s still possible to enjoy a cocktail and stay in ketosis!
You just have to make smart choices about replacing the sugar and carbs in your cocktails.
First, start with a whisky that is low-carb and keto-friendly, but balanced enough so that you can mix it with low-carb mixers, and it won’t clash with the flavors. Our favorite is Texas Crown Club Whisky.
It’s aged in real American Oak bourbon barrels that give it a vanilla and caramel sweetness, without the carbs or sugar!
Here’s a list of 5 keto-friendly whisky cocktails that you can enjoy whether you’re on the keto diet, or just trying to make healthier choices all around.

Most shots are too sweet to be keto-friendly, but not a pickleback shot! No adaptations are necessary because it’s already a keto-friendly drink. It’s even rumored to be a hangover cure!
You’ll need two shot glasses: one for the whisky, and one for the pickle juice. Take a shot of each, starting with the whisky. Cheers!
