I discovered that my beloved Mike's Hard Lemonade, is high in calories!!! eeks!!! I generally have about one a week. But it got me to thinking, what are some good 'adult beverages" that are light in calories? mixed drinks? (I am not a beer fan, so light beer is out) Thanks :)

    Vodka (25ml) and Sprite Zero = ~56cals (double the vodka for only 120 calories each :love: ) No sin here for responsible adults (that like to drink :drinker: )

    Diet Tonic Water(lime diet tonic water if you can get it), squeezed lime, and 1 ounce of vodka or gin.

    Try citron vodka and an orange slice squeezed...

    Pretty much most spirits and a diet mixer is good. You'll probably never hit over 80kcal that way as a shot of spirit seems to be on average 64-69kcal an oz (1shot). And obv the mixer is diet so it doesn't have any calories :happy:

    So yeah I go with vodka and diet cokes all the way! :flowerforyou:


    But there are ways to adapt yummy cocktails to be low-cal too :smile:
