What do you like to drink with no carbs/very minimal carbs?

I have drank diet pop/soda all my life and am trying to curb the habit but am finding it difficult to just drink water. A lot of the little flavor packets you can add to water make my mouth super dry, unfortunately. I wish I could just drink fruit juice all the time! I swear if I wasn’t diabetic it would probably be peach mango juice all the time, lol. Anyways, if you have a suggestion I’d love to hear it!

Coffee, black or with cream, tea without milk, fizzy water, sometimes with ginger or lemon. A slice of cucumber can add a pleasant flavour too. Tap water is out of the question where I live - it's revolting, and I like mine from higher up the food chain. I've been amazed at how inoffensive tap water in other parts of the country is.

Only drink Buxton sparkling water and flat mineral boiled for tea. The water where I live is vile and even clogs up the jets on my windscreen wash, it gets a black sludge so can only imagine what it does to the insides of a human. My dog refused to drink it so that says something!
 
Buxton sparkling mineral water
Decaf coffee 1 -2 a day
Decaf Tea
Lots of green tea and herbal teas
Tee total now so don't drink alcohol
 
Black or Peppermint tea. In the summer black tea with a couple of leaves home grown mint.
Fizzy pop - Lidls own brands of sugar free tropical, Orange or Coke.
Fizzy mineral water with a touch of Lidls double strength sugar free Strawberry and Apple squash
Tap water - fortunately I live in west Cornwall and generally it is pleasant.
 
I am now on Mounjaro and have consequently gone off diet coke (used to drink loads) but now makes me too bloated. Also gone off tea & coffee!
Drink lots of mint tea or sugar free squash in tap water.
Don't drink alcohol very often but am partial to a glass of Rose or flavoured gins. Spirits don't have any carbs so better than wine, cider or beer.

Bit of sugar/or the equivalent in flavoured gins and spirits tho! Especially in rum etc... just for awareness
 
Redbush tea with oatly barista milk ( I am able to tolerate some carbs)
Fresh black coffee with frothed oatly
Bottled still water as my tap water tastes of chemicals despite living in Scotland.
 
2 mugs of tea on a morning, then water flavoured with sugar free squash rest of day. I bought a water filter jug because our water tastes terrible, so now able to drink loads
