Low Calorie Cocktail: Nilla Basil Daiquiri Teeni
Sugar free syrups tend to lean a little heavier on the sweet side than actual sugar in my opinion, so cut back just a wee amount when amending a drink recipe for low calorie options. Remember it is always much easier to add in more sweetener than it is to adjust for over sugaring a cocktail. The Nilla Basil Daiquiri Teenie may not taste exactly like one with runny honey, but this is a quality drink recipe that still tastes fabulous without being a basic boring diet drink.
