Low Carb Alcoholic Drink recipes?
« on: June 25, 2011, 06:11:08 PM »
Thanks Tony for posting your low carb margaritas recipe - will try as soon as I get some tequila!   

My vodka tonic is not so exciting on hot, sultry nights - something tropical by the pool sounds good, but everthing is so high in carbs - anyone else have low carb recipes they are willing to share?

Thanks! ;D

Hey Romarc 

One of my favorite is the diet coke (the one with the lime flavor) and (baccardi) rum.   Be careful though they are VERY yummy!!  ;D ;D   I am told that they call it Cuba Libre.  ( 0 carbs ) sweet!!  ;)

Hi romarc! :)

Keep in mind that tequila (like all alcoholic beverages) will cause your blood triglycerides to rise significantly.
Normally, if they get elevated, weight loss can come to a complete stop for days (sometimes longer).

I only drink about once a month for that reason.
If I did not love my beer so much, I probably would not drink at all! ::)
What you do today is what matters!
