Diabetes Friendly Holiday Drink Posted by Jade Venhaus on December 19, 2019 I don’t know about you, but around the holidays I love to enjoy a tasteful holiday beverage! The problem is that most holiday beverages are full of sugar and not exactly diabetes friendly. So, I’ve created a diabetes friendly holiday drink! It can be made alcoholic or non-alcoholic. Here is what you’ll need to make a Diabetes Friendly Holiday Moscow Mule: 1. Alcoholic Version 1 Shot of Vodka 2 oz. Diet Cranberry Juice 4 oz. Diet Ginger Beer ½ of a Freshly Squeezed Lime Cranberries & Rosemary (for garnishes) Note: these are the portions I recommend, but you can make it your own and change things up! 2. Non-alcoholic version Diet Cranberry Juice 4 oz. Diet Ginger Beer ½ of a Freshly Squeezed Lime Cranberries & Rosemary (for garnishes) Also, I recommend drinking this drink with ice as it will taste best cold. 3. Instructions Squeeze ½ of a Fresh Lime into your cup Add ice (if you choose to drink with ice) Add shot of vodka (skip this step if you’re going for the non-alcoholic version) Add 4 oz. Diet Ginger Beer Add 2 oz. Diet Cranberry Juice Stir, and lastly add Cranberries & Rosemary for garnishes The holiday time can be rough on your blood sugar, but I drank this drink at a recent holiday party, and my Dexcom showed a straight line (in range) the whole evening! Happy Holidays! ☃️ Jade Venhaus @vibrantlybalanced Living with Diabetes Since 2000 Read More ← Older Post Newer Post → 1 comment This recipe is so AMAZING! Thank you so much for sharing. I love to have an alcoholic beverage when I have people over for gatherings, but am always too worried about my blood sugar getting out of control. So after finding this posted on your IG page, I thought I’d give it a try! And even after having a couple drinks my blood sugar was still in range :) Katelyn on February 03, 2020 Leave a comment Name Email Message Please note, comments must be approved before they are published
