I do like gin too, but MAN does it get me drunk. Drunker than vodka. And sicker too.
It's almost like psychotropic to me!

I haven’t had gin in over 10 years. I would be a truly angry drunk with that $hit. Too bad because I loved my gin & tonics...lol.

Current favorite summer drink? I’d say margaritas, but because of the high calorie content, I’ll also say mai tais, although I’m sure they’re just as bad.

Look into Be Mixed mixers. No sugar, plant based sweeteners (stevia and monk fruit), and it tastes pretty damn good. I tried the margarita and liked it. Just add tequila.
You can also use the margarita flavor to make tons of other drinks... like spiked lemonade, etc

Fav summer drink!!

There are also these mixes called RSVP skinniest that I love. I found them on Amazon and gave them as teacher gifts with personalized tumblers w/a straw... so cute. They went crazy over the mixers, and I love the Maui Mai Tai the best.
There's another kind I like called Tabooze fizzy tablets. I like the citrus martini one but haven't tried any others yet. Chat Icon

I have those too! LOL. Ihad tried them first. I like the cosmo and mai tai best.
I do feel the Be Mixed tastes a little better. I love the Skinnies but they do tend to have a bit of an artificial after taste even though they are plant based sweeteners as well. Maybe because they are powdered?

I also like my lower-cal/lighter pina coladas - malibu rum, coconut flavored seltzer, and a splash of pineapple juice. Good beach drink!




Why have I never thought of this?! This sounds so good and refreshing. I'm going to try it tonight!

Sangria!!! My brother makes it with grand marnier and it’s sooo yummy!



Can you share the recipe? I'm looking for a good one!



Ok so he uses a bottle of red wine (white is fine too but red is better), grand marnier, ginger ale, grapes, red, and green apple. U’ll love it!!!!
