Mixed Drinks and staying on track!?

dixonkr

I'm not really on a diet, I just try to watch what I eat in moderation.
What are your favorite alcoholic drinks that don't blow your diet? Can be pre-made or mixed drinks. Just trying to get ideas.

Vodka, water, and a lime slice.

I drink this when I'm not watching my weight too because I don't like the taste of club soda or tonic. You also don't have that extra carbination. 

For just a few more calories/sugar (varies on brand) you can have a flavored vodka. Raspbery vodka is great with the little touch of lime.

If I'm mixing my own at home I love vodka and diet cran/grape

If I'm at a bar I get rum and diet coke

I also found really yummy Zero Calorie Margarita Mix by Jose Cuervo

However, to have any of the drinks I have sugested you need to be comfortable with no-calorie sweetners.  I totally am, but I know some people are very against them.

I actually really like the Skinny Girl Margarita - but some people aren't fans. I'm told she's got other flavors out now too!

If I'm making my own drink at home, I do water, lots of lime and tequila. I like tequila.

Rum and diet coke is always a good fall back for me too...

OH! and Someone on E told me once to get the margarita Crystal Light (I still haven't found it, but I'm told it's there) and add tequila.

Vodka in pink lemonade crystal light is yummy too.

And I feel like an alcoholic typing all of this out

yeah, I mix pretty much anything with diet soda to cut out calories...I'm wondering what liquor is in general the lowest cal though?

YES! My FMIL doesn't really drink (she's on a very restrictive diet) but when she does this is her go-to. I've tasted it and it's actually really really good! If I'm going for a mixed drink it's a G&T (Hendrick's or Bombay Saphire), but usually I stick with white wine.

I like vodka and water and add a drop or two of Mio liquid water enhancer in it. It taste good! and there is different flavors of the Mio so you can get what you like

I love vodka with pink lemonade crystal light and a lime wedge!
