Generic - Negroni Cocktail (1 glass)

Choose a smaller Negroni or dilute it with sparkling water and ice to reduce the total sugar and alcohol load.

Avoid drinking it on an empty stomach; have it with a protein- and fat-rich snack such as unsweetened Greek yogurt, cheese, eggs, or a small handful of nuts.

Skip sweet mixers, fruit juice, syrup, and sugary garnishes; use an orange peel rather than orange juice or a sweetened orange slice.

Have a fiber-rich, low-starch meal beforehand, such as non-starchy vegetables with chicken, fish, tofu, or beans.

Sip slowly and limit to one drink; alternate with water or sparkling water to reduce rapid intake.

Take a gentle 10–20 minute walk after drinking, if safe for you, and avoid additional carbohydrate-heavy snacks afterward.
