Keto Sparkling Lemon Ginger Cooler

About This Recipe

Refreshing, fizzy, and just the right amount of spicy — this Keto Sparkling Lemon Ginger Cooler is a drink that checks all the boxes. It’s hydrating, sugar-free, and naturally flavored with simple ingredients you probably already have at home.

The base is sparkling water, infused with fresh lemon juice for brightness and thin slices of ginger for a subtle spicy kick. Together, they create a drink that feels both cooling and energizing. It’s naturally sugar-free, but you can add a touch of keto-friendly sweetener if you prefer a sweeter profile.

From a keto perspective, this cooler is perfect: zero carbs from added sugar, hydrating, and full of flavor without artificial syrups. Ginger is also known for its digestive benefits, making this drink not only tasty but functional.

Inspired by classic summer coolers, this recipe brings a keto-friendly twist that feels just as fancy as any café mocktail — but made in minutes at home.
