Our low carb peppermint simple syrup was made with Stevia instead of sugar, so negligble carbs there. The peppermint extract has no carbs. Basically, your only source of carbohydrates in this Low Carb Peppermint Mocha Martini is the one tiny gram from your tablespoon of whole milk. Not bad! One of the lowest carb counts in our Low Carb High Party cocktail menu, but bursting with flavor. You’re going to love this one!
