Do You Know The Way To Low-Carb Jose?
Want to have your margarita without killing your diet? The woman who made “Zilch” says you can!
“It’s a powdered concoction that we put in little packets about the size of a sugar packet. You go into a bar or restaurant or a party and order a tequila on the rocks. Just take a packet of Zilch from your purse or pocket and sprinkle it into the tequila on the rocks. Now you’ve got an authentic-tasting margarita with zero carbs and zero sugar. Zilch itself has no calories, so the whole drink will have only 70 or 80 calories from the tequila, and still no carbs. It’s a good deal for people who want to enjoy a margarita and stick to their low-carb diet. Here’s a margarita that’s only two points on the Weight Watchers plan,” Johnson said.
I’m not a ‘rita fan myself. My tastes run heavily toward martinis, if you didn’t already know that. And, well, I tend to get a bit more ‘Venomous’ than usual when tippling the tequilla.
But for those of you who’ve been longing for a way to have your margarita and diet, too, check out ZilchMixers.

My wife’s strategy has nothing to do with calories and everything to do with tequila.
Most mexican joints offer these “jumbo” margaritas in a bowling-ball sized glass. Problem is, you get a ton of ice, which quickly melts and spoils the margarita. [Don't talk to me about 'frozen' margaritas. They are ruined right off. If I want a slurpee, I'll go to 7-11.]
Solution: buy a small or medium sized margarita with an extra shot on the side. Pour the shot into the drink and whoopee! Now that’s a jumbo. She’s got all the other neighborhood hens doing the same.
P.S. Kate, at your request (or behest, I should say) I put all of your blogs in my Google Reader, and now I have no time for the rest of my life.
See, that’s why I stick with martinis: nice, efficient, straight to the point.
Sorry to be keeping you so busy, Jeff. If I’d realized how busy I would be with 4 blogs, I probably would’ve reconsidered buying up half the Internet.
Hmm. I may just have to order myself a box to try out at home!
