Although they’re slightly higher in calorie count, certain flavors include zero carbs and zero sugar! Note that not every flavor will be acceptable for a keto diet, but the tequila soda flavor is a winner.

Cheers, everyone! 🥂
Remember that on a keto diet, you’re likely to get intoxicated quicker since your body will burn alcohol for fuel before anything else. Drink in moderation, eat a keto meal, and sip responsibly!
We have a bunch of favorite low-carb beers, too!
Thank you for the article! Would other Crook & Marker drinks be ok too or Carbless? I enjoy C&M lemonades and coconut drinks but despite being low carb, I’m never sure if ok on Keto. Thanks
All the Crook & Marker drinks are keto, wiscomom! I checked all the labels for you! 🤗
Fantastic! Thanks!
I live carbliss too! Yes, they are keto.
The White Claw are awful UNLESS you like sparkling water. The Cherry Lime Bud Light are very good! Lots of flavor in them.
