Keto Sangria Drink – Low-Carb & Refreshing

Sangria is one of those classic drinks that instantly brings to mind sunny afternoons, good friends, and festive gatherings. Traditionally, sangria can be loaded with sugar and fruit juices, which quickly adds up in carbs. But with this Keto Sangria Drink, you can enjoy all the flavor and fun without the guilt. Perfect for National Sangria Day on December 21st, this low-carb twist lets you sip responsibly while keeping your carb count in check.

Why We Use These Ingredients

• Dry Red Wine (4 ounces) – Dry red wines naturally have fewer carbs than sweeter varieties, making them a smart base for a keto-friendly cocktail. They bring rich fruit and berry notes that mimic traditional sangria flavors.

• Absolut Citron Vodka (1 ounce) – Adding vodka gives the drink an extra kick without adding sugar. The citrus flavor in Absolut Citron pairs beautifully with berries and enhances the sangria’s brightness.

• Keystone Very Berry Drink Mix (1/4 teaspoon) – This sugar-free drink mix provides a burst of berry flavor without the carbs or artificial sweetness found in many mixers. It’s the perfect way to give your sangria a fruity, vibrant flavor.

• Club Soda (4 ounces) – Club soda adds a sparkling effervescence that keeps your sangria light and refreshing, making it perfect for sipping on a warm day or during festive gatherings.

• Ice – Ice chills the drink and slightly dilutes it, balancing the alcohol and flavor for a crisp, refreshing experience.

• Optional Lime Slice – A simple lime garnish adds aroma, a pop of color, and a subtle citrus zing that complements the berries and wine.
