As the weather gets cooler and we start bundling up, there’s one essential cocktail to take the festivities up a notch — a Low Carb Lemon Ginger Bourbon. There’s no better way to spend this socially distant holiday season than curled up by the turkey with an immune-boosting, tummy taming, throat soothing cocktail that warms you up. That’s right, this cocktail is basically magic, and it’s SO easy to make.
I added one of my favorite low carb ingredients to this month’s cocktail: OLIPOP Ginger Lemon Sparkling Tonic. It contains around 85% fewer carbohydrates than a regular soda and it’s packed with healthy ingredients that support digestive health. Find OLIPOP at your nearest Whole Foods or online at drinkolipop.com.
