with summer around the corner I am wanting some ideas on low cal cocktails to drink! Please don't go on about how If I want low cals I shouldn't drink alcohol, this is obvious... I'm choosing to have drinks this summer because that's what I want :)
My fave is infused waters (usually lemon/lime) with vodka.. How bout you?!

    1.5 oz:
    Gin: 90 proof- 110 calories
    Vodka: 80 proof- 96 calories

    Add to vitamin water zero (my favorite is the XXX berry), crystal lite lemonade (5-10 cals per serving), or sparkling ice beverage (it's fizzy. I like the cherry limeade).

    Boom. Cocktail for ~100 calories.

    All of them! JK... I like gin and diet tonic. The diet flavor isn't the best but it saves lots of calories.

    We've picked up several bottles of the vodka at Costco because it seems like something they won't carry all the time. About 2oz of vodka per can in a large tumbler for me, please. :-)

    I saw an article that showed that champagne has the highest ratio of alcohol to calories so I drink that! Plus it feels like a celebration!!

    I always leave calories for a few glasses of wine! When in doubt, dilute with seltzer to make it go farther. Long live the grape!

    Dark rum and Walmart brand diet soda (pineapple coconut flavored). Add fruit of your choice. I personally love a few frozen blueberries in it. I also use the cherry limeade diet soda from Walmart too with my rum.
