Diabetes Drink - Sugar Free Drink Solutions

I got so fed up of the standard cola offer, I decided to experiment and you might like to try these alternatives to 'just cola'.
1) Mix diet cola and diet tonic water in the same glass. It gives a slightly sharper taste and makes a very long, refreshing drink on a hot day.
2) Split a pure fruit juice (e.g. orange) with a friend and add sparkling water to your half. Or try mixing it with diet tonic water.
If you want to make a refreshing drink at home, try this pineapple slushy:
Take 1 can sugar-free ginger ale, add 1/4 cup of unsweetened pineapple juice and ice cubes.
Place in a blender and blend until the ice-cubes are crushed and you get a slushy mixture.
Why not experiment with other unsweetened fruit juices? And, if you want a little bit more of a kick, you could add rum extract to give more flavor.
If you have any ideas for sugar-free drink recipes I'd love to hear about them.
