Diets and alcohol don't really work together. Drink what you want to and 
exercise a little more. 

From Atkins himself:

"Here's the problem with all alcoholic beverages, and the reason I recommend 
refraining from alcohol consumption on the diet. Alcohol, whenever taken in, 
is the first fuel to burn. While that's going on, your body will not burn fat. 
This does not stop the weight loss, it simply postpones it, since the alcohol 
does not store as glycogen, you immediately go back into ketosis/lipolysis 
after the alcohol is used up. 

If you must drink alcohol, wine is an acceptable addition to levels beyond the 
Induction diet. If wine does not suit your taste, straight liquor such as 
scotch, rye, vodka, and gin would be appropriate, as long as the mixer is 
sugarless; this means no juice, tonic water; or non-diet soda. Seltzer and 
diet soda are appropriate."
