Wherever you find yourself on the 4th of July this year, whip up a refreshing low carb cocktail (or mocktail) and enjoy the day! I’ll be sipping on my brand new Low Carb Strawberry Coconut Mule — the perfect addition to your upcoming summer menu. This cocktail can be easily swapped into a mocktail and is sure to be a favorite no matter the crowd!
NOTE: Moscow mules are known for being made in copper mugs, which keeps the drink cool while enhancing the flavor of the vodka. I made these in rocks glasses for aesthetic purposes only (lol) but would recommend making them in copper mugs for optimal flavor.
