Alcoholic beverages for diabetics?!
Alcoholic beverages for diabetics?
My friend was recently diagnosed with diabetes. Her birthday is in a couple of months and I was wondering if anyone has any alcoholic drink recipes that she could enjoy? I know that she could only have 1 or 2 at the most but I wanted to try to make her a fun drink.
Answers:
Hard liquor has no carbs or sugar. Beer and wine have both. But it is the mixers you must be careful with. Do NOT use fruit orange or grapefruit juices or non-diet mixes, especially tonic, coke, 7up and the like.
Some sugar-free "fun" drinks might be:
Gin or Vodka Maritini
Gin and DIET tonic
Rum and DIET coke
Gin or Vodka and DIET collins
well, you get the idea...
