A Salute to Gilligan's Island

My "Ginger" Punch... get it...
"Ginger and Mary Ann here on..." You might have to be a Baby Boomer to appreciate that one.

Anyway, you'll love it. It's great for both a low carb diet or if you're just watching your calories.


Ginger Punch Cocktail:  Low Carb Low Calorie High Seas


1/2 shot Gin (32 calories/zero carbs)

1/2 shot Vodka (32 calories/zero carbs)

1/2 shot Rum (32 calories/zero carbs)

4 shots (4 oz.) Diet Hansen's Ginger Ale (available at most Health Food Stores... zero carbs, zero calories, zero sugar, and zero aspartame!)

1/2 shot Lemon Ginger-Echinacea Juice by R.W. Knudsen. Same as above... all natural. (7.5 calories/1.75 carbs)

1/2 shot Kroger Light Apple Juice Cocktail (1.5 calories/.37 carbs)

1/2 shot Ocean Spray Diet Cranberry Juice
(.3 calories/.12 carbs)

Use a large glass. Add lots of ice for hydration and there you have it. Happy New Year!

Grand Total:  Zero fat, 105.3 calories, and only 2.24 carbs! A true Low Carb Cocktail.

Drinking out? Compare this to P.F. Chang's fruit cocktail, the Mai Tai, coming in at a whopping 432.5 calories and approximately 62 carbs.
