Get into the holiday spirit with a delicious low carb gingerbread cocktail. Made with new stevia simple syrup for a sugar-free indulgence!

Low Carb Gingerbread Martini CocktailI am well into the Christmas recipe creation and Thanksgiving isn’t for more than a week yet. You might suspect I am one of those wildly organized people who gets way ahead of the game and is always on top of everything. You know, one of those people who remembers to send birthday cards to everyone she knows well in advance and has her children all glammed up in Christmas finery in October for the yearly holiday card photo. You might suspect that, but you’d be wrong. Dead wrong. I am like the opposite of that person. I haven’t sent a birthday card to anyone beyond my immediate family in years and my holiday cards usually arrive between Christmas and New Year’s, if I am lucky. Some years I don’t get around to sending them out at all and they sit neglected in my closet until I shake my head in disgust at myself and toss them into the recycling bin.

However,  I do love Christmas baking and I do tend to get a jump on it early most years. And in my defense, Thanksgiving is quite late this year so it would push back all the holiday prep and cookie-making by almost a week if I were to wait until it was over. A whole week in which cookies were not being made would be wasted time indeed!

Low Carb Sugar-Free Gingerbread Martinis

Add to that the fact that Thanksgiving will be a non-event this year in my household. Turkey Day is getting short shrift in the face of a huge move from one coast to the other. I’ve made a few yummy low carb pumpkin recipes, a pecan pie and a turkey breast roulade and I hope you will forgive me that I have now set my sights on the next holiday. You might not be done with Thanksgiving yet, but I certainly am. And when you have eaten your fill of turkey and low carb stuffing and sugar-free cranberry sauce and are ready to turn your attention to the Yuletide, I will be waiting for you with a whole host of seasonal recipes.

Here’s one to wet your whistle, both literally and figuratively. I love a good cocktail now and again and I was recently sent a new product by NuNaturals that just screamed cocktails. They have come out with a line of stevia syrups, including a stevia simple syrup that is perfect for low carb mixed drinks. It worked wonderfully in these martinis, sweetening just enough to make them seem like a treat (you can sweeten yours more, if you prefer). I didn’t detect ANY bitterness or aftertaste from the syrup, even when I put a little directly on my finger and tasted it on its own. Now, I know some people are far more sensitive to stevia so I can’t say for sure that it’s right for everyone. But I think it’s a great new product to add to the low carb arsenal and has many possible applications in baking as well. Because of my upcoming move, I haven’t yet opened the cocoa syrup or the cocoa mint syrup but I foresee these being as just as good and useful as the simple syrup.

Now, because this is a new product and you may not have had a chance to get your hands on it yet, and because some of people are highly sensitive to stevia, I’ve also written the recipe with an alternative sweetener option. You can’t say I’m not thinking of you!

Recipe Notes

Serves 2. Each serving has 5.66 g of carbs and 0.23 g of fiber. Total NET CARBS = 5.43*

*please note that because the NuNaturals says it contains less than 1 g of carbs per serving (1/4 tsp), this carb count is an approximate. To be on the safe side, I added 1 g of carbs per serving to account for this unknown amount. This carb count also assumes you have used my recipe for sugar-free kahlua.

      I can’t wait to try the stevia syrups. I’d love to use the chocolate in my own version of decaf, sugar-free mochas. I recently bought a well-known sugar-free chocolate syrup and it just tastes weird. Have been using stevia drops in my tea for about 10 years and love the stuff.

    I really love your stuffing recipes. Who an I kidding, I love all of your recipes. Your site/blog has been my first, and will always be my favorite.

I am sure you will love it over here in the Pacific Northwest, there are so many beautiful places to go see. I love it here. You will have to make a trip out to the San Juan Islands this next summer and go on a whale watching trip, it is awesome to see these creatures up close. P.S. Maya Charters on San Juan Island has very good luck with locating the whales, often very close.

    These look amazing. Being diagnosed a few months ago with diabetes, I am trying to covert everything I love into sugar-free options and use Stevia in most things. These would be amazing to try as I am trying to adapt 40 different recipes for Christmas cookies. My nieces and nephews may all be in their 30’s but i have been making them cookies since they were little and now for their little ones. They don’t think it is really Christmas if they don’t get cookies from me, so I ship them across the country and also have shipped many to my nephew’s whole troop in Iraq. They get a box every year with all kinds of things they would have enjoyed as little boys and girls. Everyone is a kid at Christmas! Wishing everyone a Blessed Holiday Season! xoxo

    I’d love to make lemonade with the simple syrup! Or, there’s a glaze dressing for a fruit salad that called for simple syrup. I tried with a different sweetener and it did not work. haha

    I’ve been making homemade cranberry liqueur for Christmas presents. It is a pretty simple recipe: vodka+cranberries+simple syrup. Macerate together for 3 weeks, strain out the berries, and bottle it up. I haven’t attempted to make a sugar-free version because I didn’t know how to sub out the simple syrup. Looks like you just found my answer!

    Do these stevia simple syrups add body to the martini? What makes this different from stevia liquid concentrate, which I frankly use in most of your recipes that call for Swerve without any decline in quality. I’ve made drinks using flavored sugar free syrups before and while they taste great, they just don’t have the mouth feel to them that the sugared drinks do. Also, where do you find the sugar content for the vanilla vodka? Any flavored alcohols I’ve tried always seem to have a ton of sugar in them, but of course that doesn’t need to be disclosed on the label.

    Good luck with your move. My least favorite thing to do.

    oooo, what a great product! i have been wanting to experiment with shrubs, especially after seeing this book on amazon. but, the carbs in the fruits plus sugar/simple syrups are too much for me…until now.

    http://www.amazon.com/Shrubs-Fashioned-Drink-Modern-Times-ebook/dp/B00G3IMV3W/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1416769614&sr=1-1&keywords=shrubs

    also, do you have any info on low carb/sugar free flavored vodkas? the internet is full of conflicting information (shocking, i know) and some of them are loaded with carbs.

      I don’t know about all flavoured Vodkas but if you look at the Absolut webpage, they clearly state that their vanilla vodka has no added sugar.

    I made your sugar-free coffee liquor awhile back and have not known what to use it in. This looks perfect. Plus I’m sensitive to inulin in Swerve so the new syrups are very exciting to me. I hope they come out with a maple or berry one too that I can use on pancakes!
