Spirits are pretty much the kings of low sugar drinks- they're so versatile and with 0g carbs per 100g, it's really all about what you drink it with.
I previously posted my recipe for a low-carb whiskey sour and now S and I decided to try something different- ginger vodka!
It couldn't be easier- just peel and slice some fresh ginger root and add some vodka to an air-tight container. The best ratio seems to be about 100g of ginger to 400ml of vodka.
Place in a dark cupboard for 7 days, then it's ready!
So far we've enjoyed it with soda/ tonic water and a load of ice- perfectly refreshing for these unusually warm days. However, I can't wait to explore the cocktail-making opportunities... If you have any recommendations, let me know!
Note: Alcohol isn't recommended while you're initially getting into ketosis as it can mess with your blood sugar. Keep in mind too that you're likely to be less hungry while eating low carb- beware drinking on an empty stomach!
