Cool Mixing With Vodka

Does anyone have any ideas what I can mix with vodka? I was going to use a little lime juice but I think there are a lot of carbs.. Need something with some flavor or I will regret it tomorrow morning!!!!

Vodka and Fresca over crushed ice. It's called a "Russian Margeurita". Lovely on a hot day!

Fresca - NUM. But since I try to stay away from diet sodas - or anything with aspartamine - I use a little lime or lemon juice with a splenda packet.

MAL!!!

I MIGHT HAVE KNOWN I WOULD FIND YOU ON A THREAD WHERE THEY ARE DISCUSSING VODKA!!!

I love the idea of Vodka and Fresca. I looked on fitday.com and here are my stats if I eat less for the day and have 6 oz. of vodka. I can't get the fat% any higher (unless I lived on cheese and mayo) and 700 calories are from the booze - I know this is a treat but I read that someone drinks every Friday night - wouldn't this cause a major stall or even a weight gain? I really enjoy a drink or two after a long week at work but I don't want to blow what I am achieving during the week.

Total: 1962
Fat: 101 910 47%
Sat: 38 339 17%
Poly: 27 246 13%
Mono: 30 266 14%
Carbs: 12 35 2%
Fiber: 3 0 0%
Protein: 150 600 31%
Alcohol: 56 394 20%

I enjoy a drink as well - but alas I can't drink and still lose.
Your body burn the alcohol for fuel before it will burn any fat - so it doesn't stop weight loss - but it postpones it. For me there is the added bonus of water weight gain from drinking as well.
So for me - a drink has to be a real special treat on a very special occasion.
