But if you’re watching your sugar intake or living the keto lifestyle, traditional sweetened versions are off the table—until now. Enter our Keto Mint Julep, made with fresh mint, a splash of bourbon, a kiss of fizz, and the magic of Keystone Pantry Allulose Syrup.

Whether you’re sipping on the porch, celebrating Derby Day, or just want a refreshing, sugar-free cocktail, this recipe hits the spot—with a mocktail variation that’s just as delicious!

🍃 Why Allulose?

Allulose is a rare sugar that tastes like traditional sugar but has virtually zero calories, zero net carbs, and no impact on blood sugar. That means you can enjoy a sweet, refreshing drink without the sugar crash. Our Keystone Pantry Allulose Syrup blends effortlessly into cold drinks, making it perfect for keto cocktails and mocktails.

🧊 Keto Mint Julep Recipe (Per Glass)

Ingredients:

• 🌿 6–8 fresh mint sprigs

• 🍁 ½ oz Keystone Pantry Allulose Syrup

• 🥃 2 oz bourbon

• ✨ 1 oz ginger sparkling water (optional, for a refreshing twist)

• ❄️ Crushed ice

• 🌿 Extra mint for garnish (optional)

• 🥶 Chilled glass or julep cup

Instructions:

1. Muddle the mint and allulose syrup together in the bottom of a chilled glass or julep cup. This releases the mint’s natural oils and infuses the syrup with a bright, herbal flavor.

2. Add bourbon and give it a good stir to blend the flavors.

3. Top with crushed ice and slowly add the sparkling ginger water (if using).

4. Give it one final gentle stir and garnish with a fresh mint sprig.

5. Sip and enjoy the sweet, crisp taste of summer—without the sugar!

🍹 Make It a Mocktail!

Looking for a booze-free version that’s still bursting with flavor? We’ve got you covered.

Mocktail Modifications:

• Replace bourbon with tonic water for a zesty, botanical base.

• Swap regular allulose syrup for our Keystone Pantry Allulose Maple Syrup to add depth and a warm, maple-kissed flavor.

This mocktail is perfect for parties, baby showers, or anyone who wants to keep things light and refreshing without sacrificing taste.

✨ Final Thoughts

With just a handful of ingredients and a little muddling magic, you can enjoy the Southern charm of a Mint Julep—keto-style. The natural sweetness of Keystone Pantry Allulose Syrup makes this drink taste indulgent while keeping your macros on track.
