Last summer I created a popular low carb version of Sex in the Driveway. It’s a gorgeous blue that is so good you just feel like you might be on a cruise or something. This year I wanted to make a to go along with it. That proved to be more difficult than I thought it would be! Many of items on the list for the regular are pretty high in carbs. LIke . Super sugary. Yuck.
However, after several not so tasty failures, I am happy to report that I prevailed in redoing this .
This tropical flavored doesn’t taste like a diet or a low carb at all. The of the fruit is all there and the sparkle from the club soda gives it a nice little kick. In case you are (or want to avoid becoming) diabetic, this has 0 carbs. This is because we’ll be using and 0 carb water enhancer to mimic the . Smirnoff is 0 carb but if you decide to use a different brand be sure and check to make sure that it is also carb-free.

The best water enhancer that I’ve found that has the right is the Mio Energy Tropical Fusion. There isn’t really a substitute for this. You’ll have to decide how much is right for your tastes – it’s hard to measure an exact squirt of the stuff. I’d suggest adding it a few drops at a time until the is exactly as you like it.
I use Mio Water Enhancer flavors quite a lot in my low carb cocktails and if you can’t find them locally it’s more cost effective to buy them in a batch. Flavors include the Tropical Fusion you need for the as well as Green Thunder, Wicked Blue Citrus, and Strawberry .

Hi,
I can’t seem to find the Mio tropical Fusion in any food market or Amazon Canada to order.
Do you know if i can use a nother liquide water enhancer ?
Thanks and have a lovely day !
Hi Ariane,
Apologies that you aren’t able to find Mio brand water enhancers. There are several brands you can try.
1. Crystal Light. I used to live on this brand for years a long time ago.
2. Stur. I have used this brand in different recipes and it tastes great.
3. SweetLeaf. I haven’t tried this brand, but the descriptions sound great.
Hope that helps ! Happy cooking and creating to you
I?ve been researching the carb count of flavored vodka. The only no carb vodka is the Absolute brand. Their flavoring is all natural, low sugar as well.
Wondering about the flavored vodka?s used in this recipe. Don?t the flavored ones have a lot of sugar in them?
Flavored vodka’s have carbs don’t they? All the ones I have looked up do. What are you using?
Looks great, just wish it didn’t have a carbonated beverage in it.
Feel free to use still water and a little more flavoring.
