Low calorie, festive cocktails?

Any ideas for low calorie summery holiday cocktails? I've seen some online using Skinny Girl brand liquors but I've never had that before.

    Nothing special but I really really like vodka in La Croix coconut sparking water. Right there you have the calories of only the vodka. Then I like a splash of the Dole pineapple juice. The whole can has 100 calories I think, 4 servings. I think I use less than one serving for one drink. You get a nice summery drink for a pretty good calorie buck.

    Try your favorite Crystal Light or other low calorie drink mix flavors with a shot of flavored vodka or spiced rum--either over ice or crushed in a blender. I also like the classic rum and diet coke!

    Fresca and wine equal parts garnish with fruit slices. Tastes like a sparkling sangria.

    Wine-a-rita: 1/2 bottle of any wine (I like a dry red), a crystal light pink lemonade tub or packet, blend. Fill blender with ice and blend until frozen and smooth.

    Raspberry Stoli (vodka) and sugar free Red Bull. 60 calories and real tasty and summery.

    I bought a 'Soda Stream Play' to make my own version of La Croix sparkling waters. I didn't purchase any of the syrups. I am now using "True Orange", "True Lemon", and "True Lime" in my homemade sparkling water and the taste is fantastic. I love La Croix, but making my own using these freeze dried all natural juice crystals are so much better ;and still zero calories. I also use these as a base for vodka and/or gin beverages, wine spritzers, sangria etc.

    Make drinks that have a lot of sparkling water. You stay hydrated and feel fuller. I like mixing Malibu and a small shot of lime juice and filling the glass with mineral water. Very refreshing

    Gin, muddled basil, seltzer, a splash of lime juice and just enough simple syrup to sweeten to your tastes. Should be well under 100 calories/glass.

    I found this on the internet. If I wasn't pregnant I'd drink like all of these.

    er....but I just noticed the very first one has 259 calories. I'd hardly call that low-cal.
