i got the info everyone:

1 and 1/4 ounce has 75 calories and .4 carbs - so drink up

Yeah, thanks Lisa. That will be my drink for this weekend. Now If I could just find pop sweetened with something other than aspartame. Diet rite not available here. It's on my list next trip to the states though. lol

lisa, you are awesome! Thanks for the info!

I love Captain Morgan's spiced rum with diet pepsi, but unfortunately it gives me violent diarrhea, so I can't drink it.

Captain Diets are my choice drink too! I am glad to hear the carb content because I never knew! Thanks!

Thanks for doing the research!! I have a bottle put up that I may break out for the weekend!!

1 & 1/4 oz.––now that I can work with. Thanks so much lisa!

Tried diet vanilla coke for the first time today––LOVE IT! Can't wait to have it with the cap'n this weekend!

Most sites have rum listed as trace or 0 carbs but I could not find anything for spiced rum...where did you find the info?...did you e-mail Captain Morgan site?...thanks so much for your work on this...knew there was a reason why I love the Captain...B

see if you can find the carb count for McCormick Peach Flavored Vodka!!!

I'm so glad you guys are finding out information about LC drinking. I love going out w/ my friends and having a few drinks, but I feel like a lot of LCers swear off alcohol. Anyway, nice to know you all are out there!

Bonnie - I actually emailed the company because the website didn't have anything on the nutritional information. i got a really nice email back so i would suggest to everyone to email food/alcohol companies when you have a question about carbs.

a week ago i was planning to meet friends at PF Changs, so i emailed the company and they actually emailed me practically their whole menu with the calorie, fat, carb, etc. count of all their foods.

it is so nice to come across carb friendly people out there.

Again thanks so much!...you have made a few of us smile on this board...hubby presented me with a dozen red roses today for Valentine's Day so I suspect we will have a few Spiced Rum's to celebrate tomorrow..again great job Lisa!...B

Hi, I used to drink once every week or every other week going out with friends, but have not drank since I started low-carbing. I do like to have a few now and then, my question is if I did have some rum and diet cokes or some low-carb Micheloeb Ultra every other week or something will this drastically affect my weight loss? And should you limit yourself to a certain quantity? Just wondering what others experiences are?


Thanks for all your help,
Corey

Watch out for what you're mixing it with though. There are a lot of hidden carbs and sugar in any sodas that have carmel on the labels. A lot of people make the mistake of thinking that if it's diet or if it lists 0 carbs, it's fine. Carmel contains hidden refined sugars which are carbs. This can kill your diet! I've substitued with Diet Sprite, 7-up and sierra mist which is carmel-free. Still tastes great with the Cap'n!!!

Someone a while back wrote to the Absolute Vodka company and they said they do NOT have sugar in their flavored vodkas.

The flavored RUMS (coconut, etc...) appear to be loaded with sugar though.
