Keto mulled wine pin

This recipe is one of my favorites. I love wine and this is one of the best keto wine drinks I have tried.

It makes a perfect ending to a long winters day of playing in the snow. As far as low carb Keto holiday treats go...this is one of the best wines for keto.

Just the aroma alone creates a warm setting and makes the holiday seasons warm and fuzzy feeling even more wonderful.

What wine is keto friendly?

  • Using a dry red wine in this recipe is ideal because a dry wine is a keto friendly wine. Check out this huge selection of Keto Wines.
  • If you want to keep this warm for a crowd combine all ingredients and set on low in a slow cooker. Don't forget to stir occasionally.
  • You can get the long cinnamon sticks and star anise online...they are much less expensive than in your local store.
  • You can spike this drink with Vodka or Brandy to make it stronger. Brandy adds more carbs but it the traditional choice for this drink.

Hey Keto Rockstar! Drink responsibly. It's becoming an obligatory statement...drink responsibly.

There, I said it.

But I am also going to say this...if this is your first holiday season on the Keto Diet you should check out this post on Alcohol and Ketosis. Your body is going to react to alcohol differently once you have been in Ketosis for a while and you should know what to expect.

Alcohol tolerances tend to be lower while in Ketosis and the hangovers are a bit more intense. So read up and know how to drink safely while on this diet/lifestyle journey. Even Keto Friendly Wines will cause a more intense reaction.

If you don't feel like reading it than please leave me a comment about the Christmas debauchery that followed too much drinking while in Ketosis...those are fun sometimes too.

Hint: if you start saying Keyo Wine instead of "Keto Wine", you've had too much.

Mulled wine is basically apple cider...but with wine.

I know that apple cider is a Christmas tradition for many people and you might even be able to find a lower carb version of your favorite apple cider recipe.

But apples are full of carbohydrates so think about if you want to spend carbs on this drink.

I really think that it's okay to indulge a little bit during the holidays or on special occasions but you should think about it strategically. Maybe if you drink apple cider you can't have your moms special cookies. It's up to you not to overdo it.

I think of my daily carb limits like dollars and I try to spend them wisely...however, it is Christmas and I do live in the US. It's almost a norm to overspend during this time of year right?

What I suggest to all of my readers is to enjoy themselves and make wonderful memories while you can. Just try not to get too far off track from your health goals or you will regret it when you start up again.

I know many of you are going to ditch the diet for the holidays and I am not one to scold anyone...I'll be here for you on January 2nd when you are ready to get busy again.

In fact, here are 5 amazing Keto Cocktails that you can try too!

Here you go: This is the best keto wine you'll have this season....
