Favorite Atkins-friendly drink?

[julirama723]

I know that alcohol should be consumed only in the higher rungs and in moderation, but what is your all time FAVORITE atkins acceptable alcoholic drink?

I'm trying to get some ideas for when I can have a drink again--which won't be until Christmas-time. Does anyone have favorite drinks that DON'T involve diet soda?

Thanks!

Yes! I take vodka and club soda and just for a little flavor i take Tropicana sugar free lemonade and add just a splash of it. It is so good because you still get a little fizz but without any calories in the actual mixers. It's very refreshing and light tasting.

I'm a Captain and diet coke girl...
I also like gin & tonics, wine, and low-carb beer w/ lime.
I'm also on the hunt for a low-carb margaraita mix... I'm DYING for a pitcher of margaritas! :P

Red wine for me, every time! In fact I usually have a glass in the evening (a goalie). Also a G&T would be nice now and again, 'cept I can get slimline tonic here in Italy

Re: Favorite Atkins-friendly drink?

I agree, BajaBobs is good except for the pina colada mix. I ended up tossing mine down the drain. The Mojito mix is good though!!

I also found a SF margarita mix at ... Target of all places! Its called ON THE BORDER and its labeled "Lite" .. sweetened with Splenda and its totally the bomb! I paid around $4.99 for a big bottle.

My favorite drink of all is a good Chardonnay white wine....I am partial to Inglenook.

For me wine, red or white. I prefer red but I aint picky if its a good bottle. I also like tequila straight. Good tequila with some lime. I love martini's too, but I stay away from those. They are dangerous, but legal....lol.

I absolutely love melon rum with tropical punch crystal light. It tastes like a fruity drink from one of theose island bars on the beach. YUM!!

I also like vanilla rum or vodka with diet coke.

Where can you find SF Kahlua?

Re: Favorite Atkins-friendly drink?

I love a good G&T.

I adore Tequila.

In my student daze (days) I used to drink cider and blackcurrant.
Then I moved on, and used to drink Jack Daniels and black.

Often until I blacked out, Or time-travel, as I used to call it.

Wow BajaBob sounds Awesome! A mix made with splenda - sounds like heaven!

We make home made mojitos that are the bomb but a mix would be so much easier!

The Margarita

1 packet splenda
1 shot tequila
1 Teaspoon(s) fresh lime
1 Teaspoon(s) fresh lemon juice Directions:
Pour into a blender with ice if you want a frozen one ..or shake like a martini shake if you like it straight up .....enjoy in a salt rimmed glass

You can substitute a shot of sour orange juice or a jigger of sugar free orange syrup.

Voda with lemonade flavored Crystal Light used to be one of my favorites. I have also started making cucumber martini's which are strong, good and you know one or maybe two will do the job.

Vodka, try citrus if you want
fresh lime juice,
grated cucumber (no peel)
Mix these ingredients in the shaker with ice
Rim the glass with a fruit seasoning (its like a mexican powdered salsa 0carbs)
Strain the mix into the martini glass
Drop a thin cucumber slice into the drink- Very Yummy!!!
