Diet "mocktail" recipe? Or party drink with low carbs?
I am looking for recipe ideas for low carb drinks that are "party" drinks, it is summer party season and I don't want to drink empty calories if possible. I like martinis, pina coladas, and wine for parties, but I think the calories are too high. Any advice?

ENJOY. :)
