Recently on vacation I went to lunch with my brother and my sister in law. She recommended this drink from the brunch menu. I ordered it and immediately knew I was going to come home and make a low carb version.

So today my hubby and I were taste testing this keto key lime pie martini and we got the flavors just right!It has a sweet, tart and creamy flavor! It tastes like a piece of pie in a drink and it only has 1.2g net carbs so it works if you are on a low carb diet.

Low carb cocktail ingredients I used.

All you need to make this keto lime drink is a few simple ingredients – lime juice, Swerve powdered sweetener, vanilla vodka, coconut milk and heavy cream.

A few notes about the ingredients.

• I like flavored Absolut vodkas because I know they don’t have added sugar or carbs. I’m sure there are other brands but just check that they are not sweetened.
• Bottle lime juice has less carbs than fresh lime juice but not much difference in flavor so you can use either. Also if you want to use fresh key lime juice feel free. I was unable to find any and I don’t feel they would add much to the drink. Key limes tend to be more aromatic and floral tasting. Learn more about the difference between regular limes and key limes.
• I used Native Forest organic lite coconut milk. It has less than 1g carbs for ⅓ cup. You can use whatever coconut milk you want just make sure to check the labels. Some brands have many more carbs than the others. You can also use coconut cream. Just don’t use coconut drink that you can buy in the refrigerated section.
• Swerve confectioner’s sweetener mixes very well but you can try your favorite sweetener of choice and I don’t think it will make much difference.

How to make a keto key lime pie martini.

1. Add to a blender the lime juice, lime zest, coconut milk, sweetener and heavy cream. Blend until well mixed. If you want a green color add a few drops of green food dye.
2. Take a taste and adjust the sweetness if you want. Then add in the vodka and mix again. You can also do this in a cocktail shaker and fill the shaker with ice cubes to make it colder if you want.
3. If the zest bothers you or used some ice cubes in the martini shaker, strain into a martini glass and enjoy. (Please scroll down to view the printable recipe card.)

Note: You can add a graham cracker crust around the rim of the martini glass but it will add more carbs. To do this, just crush the crackers into a fine crumb and place on a small plate. Wet the rim of the glass with water then turn upside down and mix the rim around in the crumbs. 

I like to use a mini usb blender like this for drinks like this and for smoothies. They are easy to clean and compact. For serious blending like for ice cream and pureed soups etc. I love my Vitamix.
