WHY IT'S KETO-FRIENDLY

  • Zero net carbs: Distillation removes carbohydrates from the agave wash
  • No residual sugar when served neat or with unsweetened mixers
  • Keto cocktails are easy: pair with *club-soda or sparkling-water* and citrus
  • Consistent carb-free profile across 100% agave blancos, reposados, and añejos
  • Calorie awareness: alcohol adds calories without carbs—track if cutting
  • Mixers matter: avoid sugary syrups, juices, and standard sour mixes

HEALTH BENEFITS

  • Carb-free alternative to beer or sweet cocktails (helps maintain ketosis)
  • Naturally *gluten-free* after distillation, even though agave isn’t a grain
  • Simple ingredient list—no added sugars in straight tequila
  • Lower-congener profile in many blancos can taste “cleaner” for some drinkers
  • Moderation may fit social occasions without derailing low-carb goals
  • Zero sugar impact when consumed neat (alcohol still affects metabolism)

PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS

KETO MARGARITA

Shake 2 oz tequila with fresh *lime, a few drops of allulose (or another keto sweetener), and sparkling-water*. Serve over ice; skip sugary mixers.

TEQUILA SODA

Combine 1.5–2 oz tequila with *club-soda over ice; add a squeeze of lime or lemon* for a crisp, zero-carb highball.

CITRUS HIGHBALL
