3) Low-carb spicy margarita.

Margaritas are notorious for having tons of calories, but they taste so damn good they're hard to resist - especially with a side of guac. The good news is, you can enjoy this classic margarita from Appetite for Energy without wrecking your diet. This recipe uses liquid stevia to cut back on the carbs and throws in jalapeño for a spicy kick.

4) Vanilla late martini

(It makes for a delicious after-dinner beverage as well.) This homemade sugar-free coffee liqueur blends nicely with the vanilla vodka for a low-carb, decadent cocktail. And it has only 3.6 grams of carbs.
