What to Drink With Vodka
 
As some of you may know I'm a booze hound and I've stuck to drinking Vodka as it has little or no carbs. However I'm having serious problems with the mixer.. OJ is out. I can't drink Coke because I'm caffeine intolerant. Cranberry has too many Carbs. I'm on Diet Lemonade atm but the evil schweppes company won't put their contents on the bottles. Has anybody got any good ideas of a mixer?

Thanks
Larrs

My fave with Vodka has always been Tonic, slimline of course.

Vodka, Lime and water is fantastic - either SF lime Juice if you are a sweet tooth or real lime juice if you like it a bit more sour. Either way total carb per drink is about 1g.

Thanks all. I've actually tried Vodka water and lime and its pretty good. Doesn't do much for the old hangovers though.. Does anyone know of a decent milk substitute I used to drink So Good and provamel or something similar but its too many carbs.. And i really miss my vodka and milk drink!

Cheers
Larrs.

Vodka And Milk!!!!!
 
Sheesh - in my entire life I have only encountered one other person who drank vodka and milk; the father of one my high school friends. Have you thought of trying vodka and heavy cream instead? Or the ever popular martini? For my one drink a week I have mainly classic martinis (with gin) or gin and sugar-free tonic.

Tonight I picked up a bottle of Absolut Citron Vodka (lemon flavoured vodka) at my local supermarket (Somerfields) for £11.90, I stuck it in the freezer and it is yummy with no mixers :)

Caffeine free diet coke
 
Hi

I love vodka and I have given up caffeine since I started LCing. I have tried to stay away from alcohol but I am guilty of a few drinks. I saw that you were intolerant to caffeine so have you tried
Caffeine Free Diet Coke
It tastes really nice too.

Good luck and I will have a think about this some more

I drink vodka and Diet 7up it's really nice and does not cause me to stall.

Ok, this is childish, but if don't have to "drink" your booze, you could always make jello shots with sf jello. yummy!

You could make a mock "Black Russian" with a bit of leftover coffee, Splenda, cream and vodka.

Just a thought.

Jello shots and Black Russians, oh hell now you've got me droooooling!

wow, thanx for asking this! im due on a girlie night out and was dreading having to drink pure vodka, i usually have red bull, gonna try out the water and lime............ just wanted to add a word of caution, most diet soft drinks have aspartame in them which is a no-no on atkins (though i suppose it depends what low carb diet you're on whether it affects u or not)

caffenine free diet coke theres not much difference I will be drinking the tipple tonight laced with Vodka of course
