Is Bloody Mary Keto?
A traditional Bloody Mary recipe is relatively low-sugar when made with unsweetened tomato juice.
But ready-made Bloody Mary mixes vary and sometimes contain added sugar or other high-sugar fruit juices.
So always make sure there’s no other fruits or sugar added to the juice used in your cocktails or make your own low carb Bloody Mary in a few minutes.

How To Make Keto Bloody Mary
Let’s see how easily you can make this keto recipe at home in less than 10 minutes.
Ingredients
These are the few simple ingredients you need to make a delicious savory vegetable juice
- Vodka – Vodka is low in carbs, like most spirits.
- Unsweetened Tomato Juice – tomato juice can range from about 5 grams of net carbs per cup to over 10 grams. Make sure to pick an unsweetened and lower-carb option.
- Worcestershire Sauce
- Tabasco sauce – This is your hot sauce. Always add a little at first, taste the cocktail, and adjust it by adding more to boost the spicy flavor of your cocktail.
- Lemon Juice
- Ice Cubes
Shaking The Cocktail
It might sound like a long time to shake a cocktail for 1 minute but it is so worth it. That’s the best way to make a delicious bloody Mary, fresh and thick.
So shake it until the shaker is icy and cold, almost difficult to hold with your bare hands.
Strain over a glass filled with ice cubes.
Glass Rim Decoration
It’s optional, but you can rub the rim of the glass with a piece of lime to release the lime juice onto the rim of the glass.
Then, dip the glass upside down onto a plate filled with celery salt or a mix of salt and smoked paprika.
Freeze the glass while preparing the cocktail.
Serving
Bloody Mary is a savory cocktail with a thick, sauce-like texture. It’s often served with savory toppings like
- Olives
- Celery sticks
- Pinch of black pepper
- Grilled bacon
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Unsweetened Tomato Juice can be added to your low-carb diet.
Surprisingly, 100 grams of tomatoes contain fewer net carbs (2.6 grams) than popular green keto vegetables like broccoli (4.2 grams).
Worcestershire sauce contains 1 gram of net carbs and 0.5 grams of sugar per teaspoon which means you can use it in small amounts to flavor your keto meal or keto drinks.
But, since Worcestershire sauce contains molasse and sometimes corn syrup, don’t overuse it. For a cocktail, the drops added to your drinks won’t add much.
You can enjoy cocktails on your keto diet while staying on track with weight loss.
Most spirits are keto-friendly alcohols and the key to fitting a cocktail in your daily carb count is to watch for:
No added sugar in the recipe or use low-carb sweetener instead.
– Low-carb fruits if fruits are used.
– Low-carb vegetables.
