a couple of relatively low carb alcoholic drinks
Ok, ok, I know alcoholic drinks are never really low carb, but......I
enjoy a good drink once in a while, but most mixed drinks are just loaded to the hilt with massive amounts of carbs. I've found a couple of drinks that are pretty darned good and *relatively* low in carbs. Low enough to enjoy a good blowout once in a while. Here they a ------- Daquiri Lots of ice 2 oz White Rum 1 oz Daquiri mix Top up with Diet 7up or Diet Sprite Daquiri Mix 3 parts lime juice, fresh squeezed of course 1 part simple sugar syrup Simple Sugar Syrup 1 cup sugar 1 cup water Bring to boil to disolve sugar then cool (As you can see there is only 1/4 ounce of sugar syrup in one Daquiri) ---------- Bulldog Highball ice 2 oz Gin juice of 1/2 orange, approx. 2 oz, fresh squeezed of course Top up with diet Ginger Ale or Canada Dry Ginger Ale (about 1/3 the carbs as most other ginger ales) ------- Anybody else with *relatively* low carb drink recipes?

Why wouldn't you use Splenda instead of sugar? I've never tried splenda in a drink. I've tried splenda a couple of times in food recipes and was not impressed by the taste. Would it disolve into a water syrup like sugar does? And 1/4 oz of sugar syrup in a drink is way less than what is normally in a drink. Seemed almost acceptable to me, as much as I hate to consume refined sugar.

And as an after dinner drink, on occasion I'll have a cognac. Another new find that's a super sipping drink: Zaya Rum. It's the best rum I've ever tasted, dark and super smooth In fact, I don't really drink rum, except occasionally this one, with a nice Cuban cigar. It's hard to find and expensive, made in some Guatemala insane asylum, I think. |
