i used to drink captain Morgan with either cherry coke or Mountain Dew but I like to avoid drinking a ton of calories now. I hate the taste of diet soda but have no idea what might be a lower calorie option to mix with captain morgan. Any ideas!?

Here is another option. Buy Kraken rum and drink it straight over ice. That is so smooth and so tasty. You won't believe me til you try it lol!!!0

Or, Jameson or Bushmill's or Tullamore Dew whiskey over ice.

Together!?!? Never! lol I like beer on its own but I'm not a huge fan of whiskey. I tried that 55 calorie beer though and I think I got more sober than if I drank nothing at all

I can't drink anything straight like that lol I usually drink for many hours when I do decide to drink so I could only see drinking something straight going VERY bad!0 -
Oh dear. so... hummm.... how about diet drinks that are not sodas, such as flavors of Crystal Light?0

I just got some white rum and I know there are some good drinks out there. What's the most simple, delicious drink with few ingredients?

I think white rum might be easier to cover the taste of. If I had white rum I would probably look for a piña colada mio type thing.WeddedBliss1992 wrote: »vodka cranberry with lime. my FAV
I wish I could love vodka.. It mixes so well with so many things

Do you have the spiced rum? If so I just looked up mixed drinks with spiced rum and the options overwhelmed me!! So many fruity drinks on there that sound delicious.

First thought this said 'case of vodka' and I was like hail ya. Then I was like....well.....booo.0 -
Release the Kraken! It also costs about as much as Captain (and taste so much better, I can't drink Captain anymore). I'm a fan also of Knob Creek's Smoked Maple Bourbon, I can also drink that straight, it's sweet enough for me.Here is another option. Buy Kraken rum and drink it straight over ice.

Well....I can tell this is a hot topic. Just cuz we are watching what we eat doesn't mean we still don't love our favorite drink any less!
I am not sure how the calories stack up on this but with your daily food log you should be able to find it easily enough. We started mixing orange juice(fresh squeezed is best) with the Captain. Called it a Spicy Orange. Not sure if that is a real drink or not, but when I tire of a margarita this would be my go to drink. My brother also would use grapefruit juice in there instead of the orange juice if you like it a little tarter. Juice gets a bad rap, but in my book...WAY better than diet soda or regular soda.
Cheers!

I like white rum with pineapple juice and a dash of coconut essence0 -
I have been thinking about the calories in mixers lately too. Last night I tried brandy with soda water - it was a bit meh, so I think I prefer it straight unless I see a better idea here!
It may have been a little better with a squeeze of lemon or maybe some ginger infused soda water but for now I think that one will stay on the rocks.
Bombay Sapphire Gin with soda water and a squeeze of lime juice or lemon juice is quite nice though0 -

bahahaha, I know many would prefer not to drink their calories, but I am not one of those people! I like to set aside some calories and have a glass of wine or captain morgan with diet soda. I never seem to have enough calories to mix with juice, but that's me. Cranberry juice is an excellent idea though - I might need to try that this weekend!0 -
Any white booze with soda water/seltzer and squeeze of lemon/lime...0
-
My fav is (diet) Cranberry juice and Absolut vodka.
Sorry can't help with the Captain Morgan situation. Oops!

This sounds right up my alley. I love anything with coconut and/or pineapple. So.... pina coladas! Right now I'm drinking a mojito I quickly concocted.0 -
I like the ideas for other types of alcohol for when I go out or something. I just usually get captain at home because my fiancé gets it for free all the time lol
And quitting is definitely not an option.. I'm from Wisconsin

I'm currently a little drunk on vodka + flavored water (Sparkling Ice from Walmart). It is sweetened with Splenda but doesn't taste like diet soda, and it comes in lots of flavors.0

I like most of those flavored waters! I can handle pretty much anything other than diet soda.. Something about that taste that diet soda has I just hate. I might have to start buying a smaller bottle of vodka for myself lol
