Well, I made what had to be one of the more humerous trips to the Liquor 
store today.  The Wild Vines must have added fruit juice, as it had a high 
carb count.  I ended up picking a brandy and a lime gin and then picked up 
a little Long Island Iced Tea set at the check out counter, so I have 7 
bottles to play with.  Tonight I had a shot of the lime gin with diet tonic 
water and a splash of Triple Sec and it was good, tasted like 
Limeade.  (just went hunting and found that Triple Sec has 12.5 g of carbs 
an oz-so will keep it to a small splash)

Ok, I shall bore you no more with my 'beginner's guide to drinking' but 
wanted to follow up.  Thanks for all the help and suggestions.

btw, my child has little hair-feel free to tease her if you see her at any 
of the next several events.  We think the veils will stay on due to the 
velcro effect-though Aethelstan said he could rubber cement them on if need 
be...
