As a bartender, I've seen my fair share of trends come and go. From the classic Old Fashioned to the trendy Aperol Spritz, there's always something new to try.
However, one trend that has caught my attention recently is the use of Stevia in cocktails.
Stevia is a natural sweetener that has gained popularity in recent years due to its low calorie and low glycemic index properties. It's a great alternative to sugar, especially for those who are watching their sugar intake.
And while it may not be the first ingredient that comes to mind when you think of cocktails, it can add a unique flavor profile to your drink.
But not all Stevia cocktails are created equal. Some can be too sweet or overpowering, while others may not have enough sweetness to balance out the other ingredients.
That's why I've taken it upon myself to try out different Stevia cocktail recipes and compile a list of the best ones.
In this blog post, I'll be sharing my top picks for Stevia cocktails that are both delicious and easy to make.
