Quick, Refreshing Low Carb Cocktail - sparkling water and lime rum

With the family over yesterday for the holiday, I ended up working my tail off cleaning, and preparing all of the food. It was great spending time with them as my son has been gone for a month or so. But I really needed a light cocktail to enjoy and relax with. Check out this one!

Quick, Refreshing Low Carb Cocktail

Maybe you have heard of the La Croix Vodka cocktail. Super simple and fast to grab your favorite sparkling water and vodka, flavored or not. I love La Croix and have 2 cases in my fridge right now! LOL

There is also a popular Ranch Water cocktail that has been making the rounds, but I definitely did not have those ingredients around.

But what I did have in the house at that minute was a Peach Mango sparkling water grocery store brand I was drinking with my dinner and a Key Lime Rum that I love with my light cocktails. (It’s great with Freesca too!) So I thought why not? Lime with anything can’t be terrible!

OMG, it was awesome! Can I say new favorite?

This would be perfect for a summer luncheon or picnic. It is refreshing and super easy! Sorry, this is not staged with beautiful glass and lime wedges, etc. LOL I took the picture on the fly once I started drinking it, knowing I had to share it with yoU!!

Other Low Carb Alcohols

If Rum is not a favorite you can also use Vodka or Tequila with your zero-calorie waters or sodas and still get the low-carb, zero carb benefit. Also, Whisky is zero carbs too!

Of note, Alcohol can cause a reduction in weight loss if you are currently dieting. Just giving some light choices here!

Enjoy!
