As I explained previously, I have done some good work in the past few years reducing my carbohydrates and my blood glucose levels, and avoiding diabetes.

As I worked on my syrup for The New Fashioned, I also I realized other mixers like Kahlua were just as bad.

So, I decided to work on a low carb coffee liqueur option. I played around with the mix, and settled on this:

• 175 ml coffee – the darker the better
• 5 packets Splenda
• 4 ml vanilla extract, to taste

(Note, I use this as a cocktail mixer, so I don’t add any alcohol.)

Stir and refrigerate.

I have found this works well as a mixer in White Russians, Black Russians, Espresso Martinis, and Revolvers.

Enjoy!
