What is a keto cocktail?

A keto cocktail is an alcoholic or non-alcoholic drink made with low-carb ingredients. Instead of fruit juices or sugary syrups, it uses extracts, sugar-free mixers, and keto-approved alcohols like rum, vodka, or tequila.

What is a piña colada without alcohol called?

It’s called a Virgin Piña Colada or “piñita colada.” It’s simply the coconut and pineapple flavor without the rum—easy to make keto-friendly by skipping sugar-laden mixers.

Is piña colada unhealthy?

The traditional version is high in sugar and calories. However, a keto version removes most of the sugar, adds healthy fats, and keeps calories moderate, making it a much better option.

How to make a virgin piña colada mix?

Blend coconut cream, pineapple extract, sweetener, and ice until smooth. Store in the fridge for up to a day, and re-blend before serving.
