Although the official start of fall is less than a week away, we are still enjoying refreshing summer cocktails because we CAN (and because it’s still 100 degrees out)! My favorite type of cocktail always contains tequila, so I thought — what better way to send off the summer than with a tasty Paloma! Not only is this month’s concoction completely on-brand (it’s basically a cup of Oj 😉 ) it’s full of flavor and still very low carb.
This month, I paired up with two of my favorite brands to bring you an extra special September #CupofOJCocktail. I added L∅s Sundays Blanco Tequila to a cold glass of OLIPOP’s brand new Orange Squeeze sparkling tonic, added some fresh citrus juices, and created a Low Carb Blood Orange Paloma!
For those of you who don’t know, OLIPOP is a fizzy tonic beverage that combines the benefits of prebiotics, plant fiber, and botanicals to support your microbiome and benefit digestive health. Their Orange Squeeze flavor contains immune-boosting ingredients with only 12 grams of carbohydrates per can and tastes like a fresh cup of oj! 🍊
