Well, you see, I love me a cocktail or two as well.......so sometimes I just have to accept the pay off is that I go over my carbs or I decide I will just have my carbs in cocktails, one very healthy decision!! Anyhow I usually only go places that mix their own drinks, that way I can get them to change things such as not adding sugar or honey. So a Mojito with no sugar syrup added, An Espresso Martini, no added sugar. Also most 'liquor' coffees so a shot of something, with the coffee and a cream topping. The website at livestrong.com has a fairly good section on the different carbs etc in various alcohols. Or just be that girl who drinks dry champagne!

I too usually either just booze on the rocks or mixed with seltzer. Dirty martini isn't too bad, and the olives are a nice extra treat. As stated above, the mojito without the simple syrup is on point too. A mexican restaurant I love has a "skinny margarita" on the menu, which is just tequila and lime juice. Still a little carby, but much less than the real thing.
