Ingredients in this Tequila Smash

As always, here is a quick overview of the ingredients used in our Keto Tequila cocktail.

• Mint leaves – This brings a very fresh, herbal flavor, but this drink is also tasty without it.
• Raspberries – Fresh raspberries were used, but you could use thawed, previously frozen raspberries as well.
• Lime juice – Bottled or fresh is fine.
• Tequila – Silver tequila was used, but your favorite kind will be fine.
• Soda water – This makes the drink so light, bubbly, and fresh! Flavored soda water could result in delicious, fun variations, too!
• Keto Simple Syrup – You can make this with liquid monk fruit sweetener or allulose.

How to Make this Keto Drink

You won’t believe this, but this keto alcoholic drink is ready in only 2 easy steps!

1. Muddle together your raspberries, mint leaves, simple syrup, and lime juice in a glass.
2. Add ice and tequila. If you want a lighter drink, add some soda water. Garnish with raspberry or lime and serve!

Keto Simple Syrup

This Keto Simple Syrup is a game-changer! It’s sugar-free, zero-calorie, and zero-carbs! All it is is a blend of Liquid Monkfruit Sweetener and water! This homemade simple syrup will last for 2 months in the fridge, so go ahead and whip up a batch so you can be prepared for your next keto happy hour!

Making Sugar-Free Simple Syrup

To make sugar-free simple syrup, stir one tablespoon of the liquid monk fruit into one cup of water. That’s it! The simple syrup can be used immediately and can be stored in the fridge or on your counter. Alternatively, you can also make a simple syrup by dissolving 1 1/4 cup of allulose into 1 cup water! This results in a thicker syrup and has less of an aftertaste than monk fruit.

Using Homemade Simple Syrup

This Keto Simple Syrup can be used in any drink that calls for simple syrup. It’s great in Sugar-Free Lemonade, a classic Keto Margarita, or a super fun Pickleback Cocktail!

Tips for the Best Keto Tequila Drink

• Customize it! Raspberries are great, but peaches would also be fantastic in this cocktail. Adding peaches will change the carb count, so keep that in mind.
• If you don’t like the raspberry pieces floating in your drink, simply make this drink in a shaker, then strain the drink when you pour it into your glass.
• Only skip the mint if you really have to! The flavor from the fresh mint leaves adds a great depth of flavor that really brings all the elements of this drink together.

Is Tequila Keto?

Yes, tequila is keto! Tequila is naturally completely free of any carbs. When mixing tequila with low-carb ingredients (and the 0-net carb simple syrup), it’s easy to make your favorite cocktails into keto-friendly drinks!

Serving Suggestions

This drink would go really well with Greek or Mediterranean flavors. Serve this keto drink alongside a Greek Cucumber Salad or with a Healthy Greek Bowl. For your main course, try Grilled Salmon Kabobs or Shrimp Skewers with a side of Keto Tzatziki! For a fun spring brunch, serve with Blackberry Brie Bites and Key Lime Pie Stuffed Strawberries! If serving as an after-dinner drink with dessert, consider adding these Salted Dark Chocolate Cheesecakes.
