My hubby and I went to New Orleans once before we were married. We were only there for a few days but boy did we have fun. It’s a beautiful city but what I remember the most were the drinks. We stopped to have a drink before dinner and I decided to try one their specialties …. the Hurricane. It was fruity and strong, oh so strong, but you didn’t know it because it was so tasty. Well since Mardi Gras is almost upon us, I thought I’d try to recreate the hurricane drink and make low carb gelatin shots too.

Low Carb Holiday Raspberry Mimosa

December 11, 2017 by Denise Leave a Comment

This low carb holiday raspberry mimosa is the perfect drink to sip on Christmas morning or New Year’s eve. Lightly sweet and easy to make, you will want to drink them all year round.

Recently I learned that wine and champagne are relatively low in carbs. I was excited because up until now I have only been drinking tequila and vodka. I thought wine was a no no but dry wine is only about 2g of carbs per glass and champagne is only 1g. So I’ve been drinking champagne more regularly and decide to make this low carb holiday raspberry mimosa. I picture me drinking it Christmas morning whilst the young ones tear away at their presents. Because it’s low carb, I can even have two but any more than that and there will be no Christmas dinner. 😉

Santa’s Little Helper – a low carb spiked cocoa is the perfect way to unwind during the holiday rush. Creamy, sweet and only 3.8g net carbs, you can drink this with or without alcohol to relax and treat yourself this Christmas.

THESE RECIPES WERE SPONSORED BY TORANI. ALL OPINIONS ARE MY OWN. MESSAGING BELOW IS INTENDED FOR AGES 21+

I’ll be honest. I didn’t use to like Christmas very much. It was always a little too much of everything. But that all changed when I had Max. Anything I could do to give my son a happy and memorable Christmas was worth it. However now Max is a teen and all the running around and preparing for the big day can be a bit daunting. So this year I’ve decided to treat myself with Santa’s Little Helper – a low carb spiked cocoa. On Christmas eve when everything is ready to go, I’m breaking out the low carb hot chocolate with my Torani sugar free syrups, whipped cream clouds and just a touch of vanilla vodka. I can’t wait!

When it comes to Halloween, I think of costumes and candy. I usually buy candy I don’t like so if there are leftovers, I won’t be tempted. Or create my own, like these low carb marshmallow cups. However this year I have concocted some Halloween fun with these low carb candy drinks that will satisfy my sweet tooth. I went through my Torani Sugar Free Syrups inventory and came up with 5 fun candy drinks for you today: Twix, Swedish Fish, Rolos, Watermelon Jolly Rancher and Reese’s Cup . And while you can add a little vodka to make a cocktail, it’s not necessary. My son tried and loved each one of the non-alcoholic versions.

German Chocolate Cake Cold Brew Coffee (low carb)

September 15, 2017 by Denise 42 Comments

This German chocolate cake cold brew coffee is a great afternoon treat that you don’t have to feel guilty about as it’s sugar free and low carb!

In the summer and early fall there is nothing better to me than a glass of iced coffee or tea in the afternoon. Have you ever had cold brew coffee? I like it because it’s less acidic than hot brewed which sometimes bothers my stomach. You can find cold brew coffee just about anywhere and I’ve even made it at home. I make a big container and keep it in the fridge for a nice afternoon treat like this German chocolate cake cold brew coffee. Just a couple spoonfuls of sugar free syrups and coconut milk and you got yourself a tasty low carb drink! And of course it’s even better with some whipped coconut cream and toasted coconut flakes on top!

Boozy Root Beer Float 2 Ways (low carb versions too) #SundaySupper

July 9, 2017 by Denise 35 Comments

This boozy root beer float can be made 2 different ways. One using Root liqueur and one using root beer and vodka. I’ve also included a low carb version of each. They make a delicious summer drink or even a boozy dessert!

I tasted Root Liqueur while visiting my stepdaughter in Philly a few years ago. I was half in love with the look of the bottle (see below) and with the taste of this delicious liqueur. It’s a little spicier than root beer and quite good on it’s own. However today since we are making simple cocktails at Sunday Supper I thought I’d make this boozy root beer float. I’ve been wanting to make this for years and finally did. It’s just as good as I thought it would be!
