Happy holidays! It’s the perfect time of year to think about cocktails. Alcohol is a tricky subject for people with diabetes – it can lead to blood sugar headaches (and regular headaches) – and sugary mixers just make everything even more complicated. Nobody wants to be stuck dealing with blood sugar rollercoasters during a holiday party, but who wants to miss out on the fun? Below find our favorite sugar-free, low-carb, and keto cocktail recipes from our contributors.

It’s a tasty blend of espresso, cocoa, cream, and Irish whiskey.” Hardly anything says holiday deliciousness quite as much as this creamy and sweet liqueur. This recipe requires a bit of cooking, but it’s worth it. Use this keto alternative in Irish coffee or any number of rich wintery recipes.

You only require three main ingredients and a couple minutes of preparation… By replacing regular simple syrup with a homemade mixture of low-carb sweetener and water, you eliminate unnecessary calories.
