low calorie alcoholic beverages?

mish24canada

Hi was just wondering with summer around the corner what alcholic beverages you like that are low calorie and taste good

A beer is around 160 calories I think? Easy to fit in.

just a few ideas:

wine
citrus vodka & soda (not tonic)
light beer
vanilla rum & diet coke
skinny mojitos

A gin & tonic with 1 shot (1.5 oz.) 80-proof gin, a squeeze of lime juice, and diet tonic water is almost exactly 100 calories. (97 for the gin, according to the USDA database, and a couple for the lime juice.)

I enjoy a glass of Vodka with a club soda and a squirt of MIO in whatever flavor you like. It is quite a refreshing hot day drink and only calories are from the vodka.
Also Molson Canadian 67 lime beers are fairly tasty. Can't go too wrong for 67 calories.

Wine is my adult beverage of choice. I also like some of the light beers, especially with citrus fruit slices added. Dark beers are too heavy for hot weather IMO.

I also sometimes make Sangria with diet cranberry juice and chopped fruit (and red wine, of course), and maybe a splash of vodka or spiced rum if I want a higher alcohol content. That is very refreshing on a hot day and about 100 calories per glass.

Scotch.

Vodka, club soda, and lime is my fave. Throw a slice of cucumber, fruit, etc in there. mmm! Also, white zinfandel with club soda and fruit. double mmm!

There are a lot of light beers out now that are less than 100 cals. ex: Mich Ultra - 95 cals.

I like cherry vodka & sodas b/c the soda water has no calls at all!! And it's refreshing!

Grey Goose on the rocks with a lime.

During summer memosas and vodka-orange juices seem popular. But orange juice is very high in calories and sugar. If you drink either of these beverages use water with a splash of OJ (or half water half OJ at most).

I like absinthe drinks, normally 1 sugar cube some absinthe and water that is all you need it is a show jut to watch it being made and you drink it slow savor the herbal taste the licorice smell.

Not a ton of bars have absinthe then I will have a Bacardi and coke. I will go for quality over quantity now.

Alcohol is about as calorie dense nutritionally light as you can get but life without pleasures is not worth living moderation is a key.

While I am not a huge fan- Corona lights are under 100 calories per, and with lime they make a passable summer drink.

I drink Bud Select 55 - 55 calories each. HOWEVER, they are pretty much just water so I don't feel any sort of happy unless I down 6-7 and then it is kind of negating the whole low calorie drink thing.

Coors Light is 102 calories. Not bad!
otherwise I would try Mimosa lite with lo-calorie fruit juice
mmmm summer

Miller Lite is only 97 Calories per 12 oz. bottle. Also, Summer Shandy by leinenkugel's is only 130 calories per 12 oz. bottle (opposed to the Bud Light Lime-a-rita's that are about 330 cals)

Im a HUGE fan of Vodka Soda Waters with a lemon and lime, or look up recipes for skinny maragaritas. I had one at Rojo that was only 97 calories!

Guinness is about the lowest calorie "full bodied" beer you can get....I LOVE my Guinness!

Gin and slimline tonic - 56 cals
White wine small (125 ml) glass - 90 cals

Am enjoying a fine Sancerre right now - cheers!

I like Vodka with lemonade flavored crystal light...but I use the Walmart brand because it doesn't have aspartame. Michelob Ultra isn't bad either at 95 calories and 3 carbs.
