In trying to lose weight, I've made multiple changes - treadmill everyday, lots more vegetables, measuring out portions, etc. and so far, I have been somewhat successful - lost 24 pounds over the past 3 months.

I will say though, my "weakness" has been Coke, or more precisely - Jack & Coke (I almost never drink pop unless mixed with liquor). A typical Jack & Coke has about 140 calories, a Jack & Diet has around 70.

No brainer right?

I CANNOT STAND the taste of Diet Coke or Coke Zero (when mixed with whiskey). It just isn't the same. I've tried Diet Pepsi (I actually prefer Pepsi, but I rarely drink soda ... straight), and ... meh.

I enjoy my evening beverage(s), so beyond that, any suggestions? Any others diet colas that are good (RC? Hell if I know). Maybe a good whiskey or bourbon that is pretty smooth (and somewhat cheap) so I could just skip the mixer?
