Watermelon Basil Smash
I don’t tend to drink too many cocktails because of the sugar - it’s hard on my stomach and I just don’t want it very often. However, in the summer, when I want a fun cocktail, I make a simple syrup with monk fruit sweetener. It offers all the same sweetness but has 0 net calories, is keto and paleo friendly, and won’t wreck your blood sugar levels like regular sugar will. It’s also a 1:1 ratio swap with real sugar, so that makes swapping it in recipes super easy! This is my take on a watermelon cocktail!
