KETO VERDICTYES

Vodka is keto-friendly because it has zero net carbs. As a neutral distilled spirit, it contains no sugars—just alcohol and water. Mix with zero-carb options like sparkling water or diet soda, and keep portions moderate since alcohol can temporarily slow fat burning.

WHY IT'S KETO-FRIENDLY

  • Zero net carbs: Pure distilled spirit with no residual sugars
  • Simple macros: No protein or fat—only alcohol calories
  • Neutral flavor: Pairs well with zero-carb mixers
  • Predictable vs. beer/sugary cocktails which add carbs
  • Easy low-carb cocktails: club-soda, sparkling-water, diet-soda
  • Widely available for social occasions without breaking carb limits

HEALTH BENEFITS

  • Very low congeners compared to darker spirits, which may be gentler for some people
  • Straightforward ingredient list (water + ethanol) in unflavored varieties
  • Lower risk of hidden sugars vs. liqueurs and pre-mixed drinks
  • Can fit into a controlled-calorie plan when portions are measured
  • No gluten after distillation (choose reputable brands if sensitive)
  • Cleaner profile vs. barrel-aged options (fewer flavoring compounds)
