I know beverages are limited on lower-carb plans, especially Atkins, but shouldn't there be a forum for them?

I don't think enough of them have been posted to warrant their own forum.
But you can find those that have been posted if you check the "Contents" stickies in the "Quick Meals & Snacks" and "Sweet Treats" forums. :)

We can always start a beverages thread and post our favorite low carb beverage recipes in it.

Are you specifically talking about alcoholic beverages or any beverages?

Personally I love my low carb lattes and make them with SF syrups. I use Davinci, Torani and Monin mostly although I do have a couple of other brands. I also love them iced in the summer time. I also make a couple of versions of low carb hot and iced cocoa... one of them is practically drinking small amounts of melted low carb chocolate with cocoa and cream and tastes like a piece of chocolate heaven.

I also have an isi whipper so I can top my drinks and I find that it makes it feel really special when I do that. A dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cocoa powder or freshly grated nutmeg or cinnamon can really make the drink.

I don't drink much alcohol and when I do its a glass of wine but I have made mimosas and a couple of other drinks using crystal light. If I go to a bar I carry the on the go packets with me so they can be mixed with water and then alcohol.

My drink of choice if available is Stoli Razberry with sprite zero but most places don't carry sprite zero so I have to bring my own.

That said I have probably only had 2 drinks this year.

Baja Bob's makes some great drink mixers that you can get on Netrition.com if you are looking for pina coladas, margaritas, sour mix etc.

Also, stocking up on SF syrups is a good idea if you plan on doing a lot of exploring with drink creations.
