What makes this recipe Keto-Friendly?
The biggest reason this recipe is keto-friendly is because there is no sugar in it. Yes, even in the vodka – no sugar!
Sugar is one of the biggest “no-no’s” when partaking in the Keto diet. Since this recipe uses a natural sweetener and alternative to sugar, it’s Keto!!
Keto Cucumber-Lime Agua Fresca
What you need to make it:
- Truvia Sweetener (you can use sugar if you are not on the Keto diet)
- Smirnoff Cucumber-Lime Zero Sugar Infusions
- 1-2 Cucumber ribbons
- Cucumber puree
- Fresh lime juice
- Bottled Mineral Water
- Lime Wheel
- Fresh Mint Sprig
- Glass
How to Make it:
Start by riming an old fashioned glass or tall cocktail glass with the Truvia or sugar.
Tip: I like to use some of the lime juice to make the rim sticky before adding the sweetener.
Next, line the glass with cucumber ribbons and fill with ice.
In a cocktail stirring glass, combine the Smirnoff Cucumber-Lime Zero Sugar Infusion, cucumber puree, lime juice and mineral water.
Pour over ice.
Garnish with cucumber ribbons, lime wheels and mint sprigs and serve!
Enjoy!
Now I know what you’re thinking, “where did you find sugar-free vodka?” and honestly, I didn’t even know such a thing existed either until the other day.

These vodkas are infused with the natural flavors and are only 72 calories per serving, gluten-free and made with no artificial flavors and colors.
