It can be tricky to navigate the holidays on a low-carb plan like the ketogenic diet [1]. Every party is packed with tempting appetizers [2] and sugary cocktails, just begging you to veer off path. But while you may think alcohol is off-limits, there are plenty of liquors and wines [3] — and even some beers — that are safe to drink in moderation without worrying that you'll sabotage your diet. To avoid the sugary extras, try mixing your own cocktails [4] this season. We've rounded up four recipes ranging from a wintry Moscow mule to a delicious, dairy-free eggnog, so you can truly eat, drink, and be merry.

Frosty’s Frosted Moscow Mule

Swap in low-carb ginger beer and add a splash of fresh grapefruit for a keto-friendly twist on this festive drink.
