Mich Ultra is growing on me - a squeeze of lime helps it.
Amstel Lite is slightly higher carb but better tasting.
Here's what I've come up with so far. Some of these I've tried; others are untested. The syrups mentioned are all DaVinci Gourmet SF syrups (available at
www.davincigourmet.com)
The carb count is close to zero on all but the Kahlua.
Amaretto Sour (yummy)
1 Jigger Vodka
1 ½ Jiggers Amaretto Syrup
Fill with Hansen’s Citrus Soda
Cinnamon Schnapps (yummy)
1 Jigger Vodka
1 Jigger Cinnamon Syrup
Serve Chilled, over Ice, or with Soda.
Cherry Limeade (yummy)
1-2 Jiggers Vodka
½ - 1 Jigger Fresh Lime Juice
½ - 1 Jigger Cherry Syrup
Pour over ice in a tall glass; add soda water to fill
Grape Shot (I like 2 of these with over ice w/Perrier)
1 Jigger Vodka
½ Jigger Grape Syrup
½ Jigger Lime Juice
Margarita (untried)
1 Jigger Tequila
½ Jigger Lime Juice
½ Jigger Orange Syrup
LC Kahlua (copied from another thread)
36 packages artificial sweetener -- splenda
1 1/2 cups water
5 teaspoons decaffeinated instant coffee -- I use Folgers (5 to 6)
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups Vodka
Bring water to a boil and remove from heat. Add coffee and stir. Let
cool (important if you use Equal instead of Splenda). Add Splenda and
vanilla, stir than add vodka. Makes 3 1/2 cups at about 1.5 carbs per ounce. Mix
1:1 over ice with heavy cream. It is thinner than regular Kahula-but
using the heavy cream fixes that!
Cosmopolitan (untried)
1 ½ ounces El Tesoro Platinum Tequila
1/2 ounce Orange Syrup
1 ounces Cranberry Syrup
¾ ounce fresh lime juice
Lime twist
