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 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!

• 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.

• 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! ☃️
