Diet Coke (and Coca-Cola Zero Sugar where available) is a wonderful mixer that is readily available at just about every bar. To many it’ll make a strong drink much more enjoyable and refreshing. Best of all, it’s zero carbs and zero sugar, which is perfect for those on a low carb or keto diet. The key is picking the best alcohol to mix it with. Diet Coke will add a nice punch of flavor so there’s no need to add sugary spirits. Stick with the basics and you’re in for a nice diet-friendly cocktail.

1) Vodka and Diet Coke
When it comes to mixers with Diet Coke, vodka typically doesn’t come to mind. This can actually be a very delicious cocktail, especially when combined with flavored vodkas. Just be wary of flavored vodkas that contain unnecessary sugar. Smirnoff and Absolut are a safe flavored choices for keeping carbs and sugar at bay.
