I buy a product called "Zilch" online. 10 packets for $4.99. They are sugar-free, fat-free and carbohydrate free. The packet says to mix with water, but I use Minute Maids light Lime-Aid in its place. I put everything in a blender, add tequila and the juice of 1/2 a fresh lime, lots of ice, and blend until thick. Delicious!

You can also try Baja Bob's. It's found in some liquor stores and online.

Try your tequila with Crystal Light Ruby Red Grapefruit flavor. Great combo with a variation the same kind of flavor blends as a Margarita. Even use salt on the rim. Works for me. Mich

Great idea Mich. I usually only buy the lemonade or ice tea flavors but I think I'll give this a try.

I was visiting my girlfriend last week and she made me a drink using Wyler's brand (same as Crystal Light) Strawberry-Kiwi and added vodka. It was very good also.

There is sugar in Ritas? I didn't know that. I have found that I can drink one and it doesn't seem to effect my bg. Any way I'm the girl that only has one.
