If you follow a ketogenic diet, you may not know if you can drink alcohol. Obviously, this is a personal choice, but if you do enjoy a cocktail every so often, you can absolutely find cocktails that are low in carbs, like this recipe.

This keto champagne cocktail uses ingredients that are exceptionally low in net carbs. Both tequila and champagne are great alcohol choices if you follow a low-carb diet.

Ingredients needed to make keto champagne margaritas

  • Maple-Flavored Syrup: This keto-friendly syrup sweetens this cocktail without adding any additional net carb content. To get 20% OFF this syrup, use code REALBALANCED at checkout.
  • Orange Extract: For an added flavor component, orange extract is used. This ingredient pairs perfectly with the fresh citrus and champagne.
  • Fresh Lime Juice: Can’t have margaritas without fresh lime juice!
  • Silver Tequila: An essential ingredient in margarita recipes, silver tequila is what sets this drink apart from other cocktails!
  • Champagne: Bubbly champagne is essential here! And, if you didn’t know, champagne is extremely low in carb content, making it a perfect alcoholic beverage to enjoy every so often when you follow a ketogenic diet.
  • Ice Cubes: Doesn’t get much more straightforward than that.
  • Fresh Lime: You have to have something to act as a “glue” between the rim of the glass and the salt!
  • Coarse Salt: To rim the glass! You can choose to omit this ingredient, but I personally think it’s the BEST part of this cocktail.

Keto Alcohol FAQs

Unsure if you can drink alcohol when following a ketogenic diet? These answers to this commonly asked questions should help you out!

Can I drink alcohol on a keto diet?

You can! Obviously this is a personal choice, but you can drink alcohol and remain in ketosis.

What liquor is lowest in carbs?

Pure forms of liquor, like the tequila used in this recipe, contains 0 grams of carbs.

These liquors, in their pure form, are all carb-free:

  • Tequila
  • Rum
  • Vodka
  • Whiskey
  • Gin

Is champagne keto-friendly?

It is! This may surprise you since champagne is often thought to be a sweeter drink, but champagne is actually very low in carbs. Per 5 oz serving, most store-bought brands of brut champagne contain about 1.8 grams of carbs.

What type of champagne has the lowest carb content per serving?

  • Brut Nature: This variety of champagne contains the lowest carb content per serving at less than 1 gram per 5 oz glass. It is quite challenging to find in most stores, but if you’re adamant about keeping carb content as low as possible, this is what you will want to use.
  • Extra Brut: Per 5 oz serving, most store-bought brands of Extra Brut champagne typically contain about 1 gram of carbs.
  • Brut: This is what is used in this recipe as it’s very easy to find Brut champagne at virtually every liquor store and grocery store that sells alcohol. Per 5 oz serving, Brut champagne contains about 1.5-1.8 grams of carbs.
  • Extra Dry: This variety of champagne has some sweetness added to it. Per 5 oz serving, it contains about 2-2.5 grams of carbs.
  • Dry: Per 5 oz serving, dry champagne contains anywhere from 3-6 grams of carbs.
  • Demi-Sec: This type of champagne is recognized as being much sweeter than other types of champagne, and I would not recommend using it in keto champagne cocktails. Per 5 oz serving, this variety contains about 6-8 grams of carbs.
  • Doux: With even more carbs per serving than Demi-Sec, this would be another champagne variety that I would skip on. Per 5 oz serving, this champagne contains 8-10 grams of carbs. It’s technically referred to as a “dessert wine,” so that would explain the higher carb content.

For further information on drinking champagne while following keto, take a look at this helpful keto champagne resource from Perfect Keto.

Is tequila keto-friendly?

Tequila contains 0 grams of carbs. Since a ketogenic diet is based on you reaching ketosis, tequila would be considered keto-friendly.

Note that while some have a strict list of foods they do and do not consider to “be keto,” keto’s goal is to reach ketosis and is, at its most basic level, a metabolic state, not a list of foods.

Everyone is different, so you will need to decide for yourself if you consider it keto-friendly.

Keto Champagne Margaritas FAQs

Before you make this recipe, review the answers to these Frequently Asked Questions about this cocktail:

Can I double this recipe?

Depending on the size of your blender, you may need to split the blending up into multiple batches.

    Does the Maple-flavoured syrup add much “maple” flavor or is it more the sweetness aspect? I am not a maple fan. If it is just sweetness I might try a little powdered erythritol or just go without. I can see how you want that bit of sweet for the margarita part of this drink. Regardless, it sounds amazing.

      It adds sweetness rather than flavor. I use it here because it incorporates a bit better than a powdered or granulated sweetener, but powdered erythritol will work! It just won’t dissolve fully in the drink so I would suggest stirring the pitcher well before pouring each glass.
