Low Carb Root Beer

A low carb root beer recipe that lets you indulge a little AND stay faithful to your Ketogenic Diet!

The secret behind this low carb root beer recipe is choosing a root beer extract that doesn't contain added sugars.

Some of my favorite flavoring extracts I've used in the past actually contain some form of sugar in the ingredients list. It's so surprising ALL the places that sugar is hiding, isn't it?? We've really got to become avid ingredient list readers 🙂

So, after some research, I've chosen to use Cook's Root Beer Extract because it's all-natural, gluten-free, and has no added sugars. Furthermore, it tastes clean and natural and has a full, delicious flavor. Also, I love that it's made with their pure bourbon vanilla extract!

Sweetening Your Low Carb Root Beer

Now that we've found a great low-carb root beer extract... we need to find an alternative sweetener that will provide a substitute for real sugar... preferably without a metallic mouthfeel.

To solve this problem I've used a combination of my favorite superfood sugar substitute (Bocha Sweet) and liquid stevia.

If you make the recipe and find it not quite sweet enough, increase the amount of BochaSweet and Stevia in your syrup until you hit just the right level of sweetness.

As you remain keto, you'll notice your taste buds changing. Things that didn't taste sweet before, all of a sudden do!

Ingredients

To Make The Low Carb Root Beer Syrup

  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup BochaSweet
  • 30 drops liquid stevia
  • 2 Tablespoons rootbeer extract

To Make The Rootbeer

  • sparkling water
  • root beer syrup

Instructions

  • Warm your water and stir in 1 cup of BochaSweet until the sugar substitute is completely dissolved. Then add liquid stevia and rootbeer extract and stir to combine.
  • Chill in the fridge for a few hours to allow to cool OR use immediately, pouring over ice to chill quickly.
  • Once chilled, add 2-6 tbsp of your keto rootbeer syrup to the bottom of a 16 ounce glass, then pour in 12 ounces of sparkling water and stir to combine. The more syrup you add, the sweeter and bolder the flavor. You'll find your perfect balance with a little experimenting.
  • Sip and enjoy!

What Kind of Sparkling Water Should I Use?

What a great question!!

First, you should definitely choose an unflavored sparkling water for your low carb root beer.

Track Your Nutrition & Health Data with cronometer.com

For a light carbonation, we choose mineral water by S.Pelligrino or Perrier. More and more brands are coming out with sparkling mineral water including Costco and Whole Foods.

For more carbonation in your low carb root beer choose a sparkling water such as La Croix. You can find more and more store brands out there as well if you're on a budget.

Fortunately, it's fairly easy to find unsweetened sparkling water these days! If you have a favorite brand that fizzes up just perfectly, share with us in the comments.
