im on a weekend get away for my 40 bday and I will have drinks. What's better Bloody Mary or dirty martini? I like both but just realized I haven't planed for any drinks I just been planing for food and eating out, made some good decisions on that so far but not being at home I have no idea what to order when out ?

    I think a dirty martini has roughly 2 carbs, a bloody mary would have more (7ish) due to the tomato juice in it.

    My go to mixed drink to stay low-carb is vodka and soda with lime (a small wedge).

    I agree with @nicsflyingcircus and go for something mixed with vodka. I know blue raspberry vodka is zero carbs. Mix it with a diet white soda. (Sprite/Sierra mist/7-up)

    Ketel One dirty martini w/ two blue cheese stuffed olives plz. Negligible carbs if you get it w/ just a splash of vermouth.

    Bloody mary has carbs from the juice in it, no idea how much tho.

    I like Tangueray and diet tonic (when they have it) or Diet Coke and rum

    I just drink vodka shots (I don't drink anything carbonated) and water when I do drink. Happy Birthday to you! Enjoy your weekend! :smiley:

    I believe it's the better choice of the options. Just be careful with artificial sweeteners. Some people (me) gain weight when eating them.
