Ingredients for a Sugar-Free Gin Fizz
As always, this is a quick overview of what you’ll need. Keep scrolling down to the printable recipe card for exact measurements!
- Gin
- Lemon juice : I used freshly squeezed lemon juice, but bottled is fine, too.
- Keto rosemary simple syrup : The recipe is below. You’ll need water, fresh rosemary, and liquid monk fruit sweetener.
- Lemon soda water : I used lemon Bubly drops with my soda stream, but store-bought or plain soda water is fine, too
- Ice
- Garnish ideas: Rosemary springs, lemon wedges or twists
Rosemary Sugar-Free Simple Syrup
This simple syrup is so easy! In a small pot, bring 1/4 cup rosemary leaves (stripped from the stem), 1 cup of water, and 1 tablespoon of monk fruit liquid sweetener to a simmer. Allow to simmer 10-15 minutes, then take off of heat to cool for 10 minutes. Pour through a fine mesh strainer, and store strained syrup in the fridge up to one month.
Can I use granulated monk fruit with erythritol?
I have not had success using blends with erythritol to make a simple syrup. Unfortunately, it does not fully dissolve; Once your syrup returns to room temperature, the erythritol begins to crystallize. I have read that adding a pinch of xanthan gum can prevent this, but I haven’t tried this method.
How to make a Rosemary Gin Fizz
This simple keto cocktail starts in a shaker–Combine ice, gin, lemon juice, and rosemary simple syrup. Shake for 30 seconds or until extremely cold. Pour over ice into a 12-ounce glass, then top with about 3 ounces of lemon soda water. Garnish with a rosemary sprig and a lemon slice for a beautiful, aromatic, delicious low-carb drink!
What to serve with a Rosemary Gin Fizz
This drink is incredibly versatile because the flavors are very balanced and complementary to tons of different kinds of foods! The rosemary and lemon pair wonderfully with Italian and French cuisine especially. Gin can adapt so easily, it works well with sweets, spice, even floral notes!
Keto Appetizers for Gin Fizz Cocktails
If you’re making a cheese board, this citrusy gin cocktail will pair great with gouda and brie (these Cherry Brie Bites would be amazing)! This Marinated Mozzarella uses a lot of herbs that would complement the drink as well. Charcuterie meats like prosciutto and cured hams work well with the herby flavor… Consider serving it in an Antipasto Salad for a different twist!
Keto Dinners for Gin Fizz Cocktails
This Rosemary Gin Fizz would complement white meat and fish, especially with strong herb or citrus flavors. I can highly recommend Lemon Garlic Fish with Toasted Pine Nuts with Keto Roasted Radishes or Chicken Piccata with a side of Italian Baked Mushrooms.
Desserts to serve with a Rosemary Gin Fizz
Berries, white chocolate, and citrus flavors will be perfect with this gin fizz! Keto Fruit Pizza, Cheesecake Strawberries, and Keto Cheesecake with Strawberry Sauce would be excellent! If you prefer cheesecake bars, consider serving with this Lemon Blueberry version, Cranberry version, or Strawberry version!
