The Low Carb "Long Beach" Diet Cocktail Low Calorie Low Fat Alcoholic Beverage

I Loooove  this drink! It's one of my favorites. It's like a Long Island Ice Tea but with Cranberry Juice; sometimes called a "Long Beach".

I use:
1/3rd each Vodka, Rum, and Gin
(Lately I've been enjoying 1 shot drinks. That way I can drink more drinks and enjoy drinking for a longer time, making the "Buzz" last a bit... before passing out. LOL)
1/3rd shot R.W. Knudsen's (It's hard to type when you're already buzzed - I just finished my taxes - yay! So that deserved some celebration  ; )
(as I was saying: 1/3rd shot) Lemon Ginger Echinacea
1/3rd shot All Natural Simply Limeade
1 shot Diet Low Carb Cranberry Juice (Kroger's or Ocean Spray works pretty well. Look for less than 10 carbs per 8 oz. serving)
and then 3 shots Cola (I like Diet Caffeine Free)
and lots of ice

Nummmmm! Goes down so easy and you can't taste the liquor.

Of course, if you're not on a diet you can always use the regular stuff. But, hey, sugar is really bad for you. That's it, I'm off my soap box. Do WETHYW. Life is about choices after all.

Ohhhh, the relief of taxes done. It kinda sucks to have your own business. So much more complex. Hey, maybe with my new job, I'll be a corporate clone now ( when ORGANIC becomes the MACHINE). Wouldn't that just be so much more easier. NO.

Recipe: Christmas Coffee

coffee WavesImage by Omar_MK via FlickrChristmas Coffee

16 oz. Coffee Cup
8 oz. Water
3/4 shot Old New England Egg Nog pre-prepared with added Bourbon Whiskey, Rum, and Brandy (a liquor store item)
1 teaspoon Folgers Instant Coffee (I prefer Decaf)
1/2 teaspoon General Foods International Chai Latte Sugar Free (does contain aspartame - use sparingly)
1/2 teaspoon Sugar Free or No Sugar Added Hot Cocoa Mix
1 T Fat Free Kroger's Original Coffee Creamer
2 T Skim Milk
Low Sugar Whipped Cream (or Mini Marshmellows)

Place water, nog, milk, and creamer into cup and heat on High in microwave approximately 3 minutes... until steamy.
Add the rest of the ingredients and stir vigorously.

If ingredients do not dissolve completely, use a swisher (a cup-sized whisk) and swish until frothy. Add a dollup of whipped cream (or mini marshmellows).

Delightfully serves ONE.
