Gin Fizz
The Ultimate Low-Carb Cocktail

4.5 stars, average of 92 ratings

Written by Martina Slajerova on July 5, 20176

This sugar-free cocktail is not just low in carbs, it's also low in calories and makes the perfect refreshment for summer parties and barbecues. You can use any spirits, just make sure there is no added sugar. Gin, vodka, rum or tequila are the best options. If you use gin, add a few slices of cucumber for extra freshness.

Are you trying to lose weight?
Minimise your consumption to occasional drinks, or ideally, avoid alcohol altogether. Although there are no carbs in spirits, your body can't store alcohol as fat - it has to metabolise it. This means that your body will utilise alcohol instead of body fat which will slow down weight loss.

Ingredients (makes 2 servings)

¹/₃ cup fresh lime juice (80 ml/ 2.7 fl oz)
¹/₂ cup gin (120 ml/ 4 fl oz) - other options: vodka, rum or tequila
2 cups sparkling water, or enough to top up
ice cubes
few cucumber slices (if using gin), lime slices and fresh mint
Optional: liquid stevia to taste (SweetLeaf or NuNaturals)

Instructions

Place a few mint leaves in an ice cube tray. Fill them up with water and freeze until solid (I used large ball ice molds but you can use a regular ice cube tray).
Slice the cucumber and juice the lime.
Place a few ice cubes into two glasses. Add gin, lime juice, cucumber slices and top them with sparkling water. Optionally, mix in 3-5 drops of liquid stevia into each glass.
Garnish with fresh lime slices, cucumber and mint. Enjoy!

What can I use in place of sparkling water?

Hi Tina, you can use still water if you prefer that.

Oh my gosh! I love this and I have to ask. Where did you find those cute glasses and cocktail stirrers?

Thank you! The glasses were actually from a local online grocery & home store (Ocado in the UK). The stirrers are from Amazon 😊
