You're right about that potatofree, 17 grams actually. Any of the sweet drinks like amaretto, baileys, kalhua etc are prone to being high in carbs. Also, flavored rums have carbs.
I think the main things you can drink are just what I call "straight" alcohols, like vodka, bourbon, scotch etc. and you can mix them with selzer or soda water (you have to make sure you are getting one with no carbs) or diet sodas. There are some low carb beers out now too. I think a good rule of thumb with alcohol is that any drinks that are kind of syrupy/sticky in consistency usually have carbs.
Here is a site with all of the carb counts for different types of liquor:

I also found a link on this site to make your own low carb kalhua:
