Carol28 Posted November 21, 2021 #1 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Does RCCL have low sugar liquors or mixes? What type? Are they good? At all the bars? If they do, what do you suggest I ask for? I only heard this week that this type of liquor exists! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisegirl1 Posted November 21, 2021 #2 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Haven’t seen it and most of the mixers are high in sugar. You would need to go with club soda/diet soda as your mixer. In the past I’ve used a half pack of crystal light (fruit punch, lemonade) in a vodka/soda or vodka/water drink. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, liquor doesn't usually have sugar. Rum, tequila, vodka, whiskey, gin don't have sugar in them. So, I would guess you're really asking about mixers. Some liquers have sugar for flavor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol28 Posted November 22, 2021 Author #4 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Actually, I believe Skinny Girl has fewer calories than other liquors. And, there are others. So, I'm asking about both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davekathy Posted November 22, 2021 #5 Share Posted November 22, 2021 (edited) I like my desserts sweet. Tequila and whisky shots. No need for a mixer. Edited November 22, 2021 by davekathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I'm asking about both. Calories and sugars aren't exactly the same thing. Royal doesn't have Skinny Girl brand. If you're talking about the straight liquor not mixers or mixed drinks by Skinny Girl - the lower calorie marketing is just a gimmick. Like how popcorn boasts that it's gluten free - of course it is it's corn! They say their brand of vodka is less than 100 calories per serving. Well I should hope so since 1 ounce of 40% vodka is 64 calories, 1.5oz is only 97. And that's pretty much the same for all spirits. The calories and sugar come from the mixers.

Water. But if you don't want that then soda water. Diet drinks don't have sugar but they have all the sugar substitutes. Most of the other mixers are fruit juices or other stuff with a lot of sugar.

Do you have to have a mixer? About your only choices for low sugar mixers are diet sodas or water, as above poster mentioned. There are also the spiked waters now, like Truly. That’s why I like Dirty Gin martinis…the mixer is olive brine 😉 Edited November 22, 2021 by crzndeb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
