These little cups of fun may look sweet an unassuming, but they pack quite a punch! These are fun to make for parties, but unlike other gelled shots you may run into at the celebration – they are made with erythritol instead of sugar.
The ones pictured are 2 ounce shots because of the size cups I used. You can also find 1 ounce cups and extend the recipe to 20 servings.
Not a fan of rum? Feel free to substitute other low carb alcohol types. Check out our article on keto friendly alcohols for more ideas. You can also play around with the flavorings by using different extracts. There are some really nice natural extract packages available with various fruits and other flavors. I think substituting the water for brewed coffee would also be fantastic.
For the photographs I dressed them up with fresh whipped cream and raspberries. I think the whipped cream really helps cut through the strong alcohol flavors, plus adds some fat, so give it a shot! (No pun intended…)
Remember that alcohol will slow the weight loss process down, but is okay as an occasional treat. You can also read more on the ketogenic diet and alcohol in our article!
