    Unless you're suffering from Phenylketonuria, there's probably no reason to avoid aspartame.

    Tonic water with lemon slices. Sparkling water with lime and a few mint leaves. Take the non-alcoholic ingredients of any cocktail and they usually make a tasty drink together by themselves. Pick the lower-calorie ones.

    Have a glass of wine and fit it into your calories. A 5 ounce glass of white wine is only about 100ish calories. Just be sure to stop at one.

    I like club soda/sparkling water with a splash of cranberry juice or some lemon/lime juice.

    if Im out, soda with ice and a slice of lime and just a dash of lime juice - at home, Sainsburys do a nice fresh red grape pressed juice in the chilled aisle. Its a good red wine substitute, and topped up with fizzy water its v refreshing too.

    A ton of diet drinks are starting to use sucralose instead of aspartame because of fears (real or imagined). I know coke, hansen's and pepsi one all recently (as in the recent years) switched to sucralose. If you go to a whole foods style store, lots of times there are ones with stevia in them that you might like, though they are often three and four times the price for a drink you may or may not like as well.

    I'd google "sucralose diet drinks," and see if there is anything you like.

    I make sun tea infused with fruits, most often with peach and/or strawberries. After brewing just drop the sliced fruit right in the container and give it a few hours. I also will sometime make a 50/50 mix of decaf and regular tea as the caffeine can get me going sometimes.
    FYI, I was a soda fiend and have cut it out 100 percent! I drink mostly (in order of consumption) water, tea, milk, coffee and in the morning to afternoon an occasional energy drink. But I do love my sun tea and maybe you will too.
    FYI, there are all natural sodas out there.

    Let Loose With a Tea Infuser

    Loose tea is a low-calorie option that allows you to get tea's health benefits and flavor from the actual tea leaf, without any additives. Brewing loose tea in an infuser, a device that holds tea leaves in a mesh chamber that you submerge in water, works wonderfully to bring out the flavor of your tea of choice. Enjoying a hot cup of loose tea — such as white, green, oolong, or black — is a relaxing pleasure that's also great for your health.
