I tried a Splenda version but yuk, don't, its hideous. Maybe I did it on purpose just so I would have to make another? Hmmm. Also tried a version with blueberries, very nice!

Oooh that looks delicious!!! You tried it with Splenda?? What's wrong with you boy??? Hehehe.. the point of drinks is not to be concerned about their sugar content rather than wanting more and more alcohol content ;).
