Low-Carb Irish Mule Cocktail

These keto Irish mules are perfect for your Saint Patrick's Day celebrations!

Low-carb mixed drinks are hard to come by but making them at home is super easy. If you prefer to use vodka, you can make these Low-Carb Russian Mules instead.

We’re getting a little help from a stevia-sweetened ginger beer and using fresh lime juice instead of mixers. I was able to find Zevia ginger beer at our local grocer so look for that brand or leave other options you know of in the comments below. If you can't find sugar-free options, you can even make your own ginger beer — it's easy!

Step-by-step

1. Add the ice to a copper mug and top with lime juice, Irish whiskey, and ginger beer.
   Note: If you are using my Homemade Low-Carb Ginger Beer, you'll need to mix 2 tablespoons (1 fl oz) of the Ginger Beer concentrate + ³/₄ cup sparkling water.

   

2. Give it a stir and garnish with a slice of lime. Serve immediately.
