janetz Posted October 20, 2017 #1 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Hi all. Right now I am doing no more then 20 carbs a day, losing some weight. Food will not be an issue. With our cruise next week, I am thinking of the alcoholic drinks onboard. I love Martini's , sweet wine and all those other fluffy drinks they offer. What to do?:confused: I like gin and tonics, but no diet tonic onboard. A dry martini is not for me. Does anyone have ideas on dressing up a no carb drink with Crystal Light or something else? Thanks ahead! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zillahfl Posted October 27, 2017 #3 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I think dry red wines tend to be on the lower carb side of things. Liquors with diet sodas might be the best bet though, it really seems that the mixers are where the carbs come in. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyCapn Posted October 27, 2017 #4 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Vodka and soda is only 66-80 calories depending who you believe, and 1 gram of carbs. Adding a Crystal Light packet would add no more than 10 calories. Rum and soda would work well too. And obviously you could use diet sodas too, depending what your cruise line offers. If you want to be a little fancier, a wine spritzer would be around 2-to-4 grams of carbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badmamajama23 Posted February 1, 2018 #5 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Vodka Soda water and add a splash of some kind of fruit juice, I usually use cranberry or orange. or Unsweet iced tea, Vodka, and an orange slice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mac66 Posted May 8, 2018 #7 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Learn to drink scotch, bourbon, etc on the rocks. ;) I told my doctor I was on keto and asked him for a prescription for scotch. It read "take 1.5-3ozs over ice before dinner". I took a bottle on my last cruise and when stopped, showed the cruise line guy the prescription. Okay, I'm kidding. I didn't have a prescription and didn't get stopped but I followed the directions anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Summertime588 Posted May 10, 2018 #8 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I read somewhere that vodka is the recommendation for Keto. Crystal Light packets are a great idea that I'm going to try. I have a feeling that I'll be drinking a lot of vodka and Diet Coke on our upcoming cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellceee Posted June 4, 2018 #9 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Flavored vodka or rum and diet soda. I'm definitely going to drink on my vacations so I try to avoid the sugary stuff and occasionally drink whatever I'd like to on other days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dznymom Posted June 5, 2018 #10 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I drink decent tequila on the rocks and ask for a couple extra lime wedges. The other option is to mix whatever you like with diet soda, but personally I find that often stalls me whereas tequila or bourbon on the rocks don't. Most hard liquor has no carbs, but watch out for things like Captain Morgan and flavored liquor. Sadly, no more pretty frozen drinks for me.
