Keto Mocktails: Coconut Lime Martini

This Keto Coconut Lime Martini Mocktail was conceived during “Dry January.” This movement started in 2012 with 4,000 participants in the U.K and has grown to over four million in 2018  just in the U.K. Dry January now has a worldwide reach.

Part of the Heal Nourish Grow January 2019 30 days of wellness challenge is abstaining from alcohol. While moderate alcohol consumption can be part of a wellness and keto lifestyle, it can be good to take a break. Especially if you happened to indulge quite a bit over the holidays! Ditching alcohol various times throughout the year, not just January, can offer a lot of health benefits.

The Coconut Lime Martini Mocktail or Cocktail

Keto Mocktails

When you think of keto friendly things that can be put in a drink, one of the first things top of mind is coconut milk. As the song says…you put the lime in the coconut…certainly a classic! Though most of us have probably experienced this flavor combination in sugary Pina Coladas of our youth, it can also be used to make a delicious and refreshing sugar-free keto mocktail or cocktail.

This keto mocktail recipe is also great with non-alcoholic rum

I've been using Ritual Zero Proof since 2020 and I love their products. Their nonalcoholic spirits are the closest I've found to the real thing. Most are completely sugar-free as well as calorie-free and of course, alcohol-free. Get 20 percent off at checkout with code HNG20

There is lime juice in the recipe, but it's an amount that keeps the carb count reasonable. It's very refreshing and citrusy with the amount of lime called for, but you could also cut the lime juice in half to reduce the carb count further. As is, it's only one carb per serving.

Keto Coconut Lime MartiniMocktailCoconut Milk: Guar or No Guar?

It can be a little harder to find, but go for 100 percent coconut milk. While guar gum doesn't add a lot of carbs to the overall count, it technically a sugar made of mannose and galactose. It's just plain not necessary…as is the case with so many food additives. Since you're trying to be healthier by ditching alcohol, why not make your keto mocktails as clean as possible?

If you prefer organic coconut without guar for this keto mocktail, Native Forest Organic Coconut Milk or Let's Do Organic Creamed Coconut are good choices or you can try Aroy-D Coconut Milk (not organic).

Benefits of a Dry January

The University of Sussex studied the benefits of this practice and found there are many including better sleep, better health, more energy, weight loss, better concentration better skin and saving money. It even led to less drinking overall throughout the year.

If you didn't give up alcohol this January, just pick a month and try it. In the meantime, keto mocktails are a great idea to integrate into your health and wellness routine. Not only do they eliminate alcohol, but they also offer a delicious keto treat anytime.
