    Keto-er + health freak + document EVERYTHING + super rare drinker = hot toddy :)

    Idk what most of that means but I am a super frequent drinker. And it's hard to minimize to there haha

    A pint of Guinness is less than 200 calories. Of course, I drink 3.

    The last time I had Guinness it was trunk beer. Haven't drank it since. The stuff does not taste good hot.

    Tequila and soda water is my favorite.

    The soda water was a legit find.

    A glass of red wine, diet coke with some whiskey, or some cranberry juice with a little coconut rum and a splash of triple sec.

    Solid choice. I like a splash of something with it, unless I'm drinking good rum or whiskey. Vodka is so versatile though.

    If I'm drinking it's usually red wine.

    So I made a drink last night. It was Titos, lime seltzer water, a frozen strawberry, lime slice, and a few olives....served in a crystal glass of course. It was tasty. 700 calories for 12oz of vodka

    I had some grey goose vodka that I had soaked some raisins in,( I make hard cider and needed to sterilize the raisins before adding them to the fermenting cider) and there's NO way I was going to throw out perfectly good vodka. So I used a shot of the raisin vodka, added some kumbucha, (I make that too) and seltzer with lemon. On the rocks. All who had one, or two, agreed that recipe was a keeper. But can't go wrong with grey goose on the rocks with a twist of lemon when nothing else is available.

    This, but even better over some mashed up rasberries.


    I like mixed drinks, and love good liquors mixed with lemonade, but have found that good flavored vodka (florida cane mango, or the deep eddy grapefruit) is good with simple sparkling water and lime, and of course good whiskey is also fine the same way.

    And more important, just cutting back on frequency works even better than trying to de-calorize drinks. One or two days a week of drinking 2 of something I like, not a few days a week of just one.

    Red wine or my boyfriend shakes up our own skinny margaritas--lime juice (fresh) tequila and a touch of honey. Add some mint or basil for fun!

    White wine or coconut rum with diet Mt. dew!

    I mix mine with Coke Zero, but I bet diet dew is good, too! Gotta try that!

    Haha alcohol should never be wasted. I've never had kombucha. I'll have to try this one sometime.

    We have completely eliminated soda has a mixer in favor of plane seltzer. That saves us quite a few soda calories every time we have a few drinks. And it tastes pretty good, especially with things like flavored vodka :-)
