As I may have mentioned before, I'm doing Weight Watchers. Alcohol is deadly on WW, and most of the mixed drinks I love wreak havoc as you not only have to factor in the high points of the alcohol, but also the mixer. Diet soda, however, is typically zero points. Woohoo! I have a friend who drinks rum and diet coke religiously, and while I'm not a big fan of rum, I remembered a forgotten friend-Cherry Flavored Vodka. Mixing Coke Zero (which for some reason I prefer to Diet Coke) and some Cherry Vodka makes a a wonderfully adult Cherry Coke and allows me to enjoy a drink with friends without devastating my plan.
And don't worry friends, I do still enjoy a nice margarita once and a while.
