Alcohol Drinks

My husband isn't really on South Beach but he will eat what I make, he had suggested having a few drinks this weekend. I thought it might be ok. Although I don't know what to drink. Before South Beach I would drink Smirnoff Ice Watermelon or Mandarin Orange Flavor, these are malt liquor so I know this is no good. I'm not much of a drinker. I'm a real light weight, but when I do have something I like it to be sweet or fruity tasteting so what would be some things I could have?

Thanks,
Amy

Before SB I loved fruity drinks! Wine is probably the "best" choice for SB, but if you really want something fruity I like to mix rum or vodka with Crystal Light. There are a lot of fruity flavors (orange, grapfruit, lemonade, etc.) Also rum and diet pepsi/coke is good (I really like it with the flavored diet sodas like cherry, vanilla or lime). Another option is a diet soda, like gingerale or club soda, then add sf flavored syrups (like DaVinci or Torani syrups) and the alcohol of your choice. I made a really good Sparkling Lemonade drink the other night with diet 7up, fresh lemon juice, raspberry syrup and some rum. There are also sugar-free mixers - my grocery stores have sweet n sour and margarita mixes that are sugar free. We've had the margarita and it was pretty good.
Hope that gives you some ideas!
