Flavoured Vodkas

[GHB]

Hi all, I'm preparing for the wonderful day in 3 weeks where I can reintroduce alcohol into my diet and was wondering about flavoured vodkas, specifically the Absolut and 42 Below ranges.

TheDailyPlate.com lists all absolut vodkas as 0 carbs - but this doesn't seem right. From memory those flavoured ones still taste sweet, and I looked at a bottle in a liquor shop last week and it doesn't say anywhere that it contains artificial sweeteners - which I am sure is legally required. Meaning that it may well have added sugar... Does anyone know what the real carb content of these flavoured vodkas is?

Back in the day I used to drink the Smirnoff Raspberry twist mixed with splenda sweetened ginger ale and has no negative effects. Well at least to my weight. They tasted so good, I would get hammered before I knew it. That was where my problems usually got started. LOL!

Re: Flavoured Vodkas

I'm thinking it depends on the brand. Some contain just the essence of flavour, some are sweetened. I think smirnoffs has a bit of sweetnes too it as you mentioned...

have you tried checking their websites?

CalorieKing - Calorie Counter - Calories in Smirnoff

calorie king shows it does have carbs depending on the flavour. ie vanilla shows 1, watermelon 2. so this would mean there is sugar.

(note that some of these are vodka coolers, but the vodkas are listed)

If you want the ingredients you can also email the companies through their websites.
