Booze Question

I'm going to a Blues Festival this weekend. What is the best alcohol to drink?? They will have a full bar, no wine and I don't drink beer.
I usually drink margaritas but that's too much sugar and calories.
Any suggestions?

Gin lime & soda. Sugar free lime cordial I guess. Ick. Soda has no carbs anyway.1

If you’re looking for the lowest calorie count per drink…Gin or vodka with a no or low-cal soda or mixer.3
-
vodka with a flavored seltzer and lime or just regular seltzer with lime. Shot of vodka is less than 100 calories. Seltzer o calories. slice of lime minimal.
Btw, if you prefer a sweeter drink, half diet and half club soda, knocks down the funky taste of diet. Zero calories in club soda.1 -
Bottled water!5

But OP intends to drink an alcoholic drink,the question was "which is the best alcohol to drink" - so suggestions of water or other non alcoholic drinks are a bit redundant.
Alcoholic drinks not being beer or wine: any spirit - doesnt have to be vodka - whisky, bourbon, rum etc - with a diet soda would be your best bet for lower calories.
Of course if you drink half measures, even lower.
But even full measures won't be much

FYI, I ended up making my own skinny margaritas, only had two. I asked for one shot, ice and water in a tall glass, then added a Baja Bob's - Sugar Free Margarita Mix packet making each drink only added had 89 calories4
