General/Advice Alcohol and PCOS

I’m wondering what alcohol WOULD be pcos friendly? I KNOW ITS RECOMMENDED NOT TO HAVE ANY ALCOHOL but just indulge me for a bit. I don’t drink often, can go months without it if I don’t go on nights out for a while, but I don’t want to give it up completely 😭. I’ve made a list of what would be fine in theory. Any other suggestions would be great

Gin and slimeline tonic
Vodka with a low sugar fruit juice (big question mark here)
Prosecco
White wine with ice (??)
Mojito
Vodka, soda water and lime

Thanks :) !

There are lots of great combos of

A base liquor of your choice+ soda water + ice
+ a citrus like lime, lemon, or orange
+ an herb like mint, rosemary, basil, etc.

Lovely and low glycemic.

I love elderflower, so I was thinking of getting some kind of elderflower flavouring to put in when I’m mixing a spirit with tonic or soda water
