Can you recommend a good mixed drink?

I'm a bridesmaid in an upcoming wedding and the bachelorette party is this Saturday night. We're doing dinner and then going to a few bars. I don't do the bar scene at all and I have no plans to get wasted. However, we have a DD lined up so I'd like to have 2-3 drinks throughout the night between the shots they're going to make me take (ah, peer pressure).

I like girly, fruity, tropical mixed drinks. I've had screwdrivers, but they make me feel sick after about two (sick like nauseous, but not buzzed). At home, I put a shot of coconut rum in a glass, fill it up with pineapple juice, add a splash of grenadine, and it's delicious. I've heard people call this a Sea Breeze, but I'm pretty sure that's wrong, because I've ordered a Sea Breeze at a bar and it was nothing like that.

Here's the thing: I want something that doesn't contain a ridiculous amount of calories (I'll be logging), but still tastes good. Also, I want something that any bar I go to will know how to make. I don't want to tell them what to put in it - I want them to know what goes in it. That way, if someone goes up to get my drink for me, they can without me having to write it down like a loser.

I also like citrus-y things, but I'm not big on dark liquors at all. Also, NO beer/wine/champagne - can't stand the stuff. I also don't want to order a daiquiri or some other frozen drink - just something simple and delicious! Suggestions?

Based on what you are describing I would suggesting getting a Malibu and Diet.

Malibu-coconut rum and Diet Coke.

You get your coconut/fruity alcohol and your mixer has no calories.

Any flavored vodka you can do with flavored water and it's low-cal and delicious. I usually will do a whipped vodka with water and then I take pink lemonade (or another flavor) crystal light and squirt it in my water. It's low-cal and mixing alcohol with water keeps you really hydrated so it helps eliminate the headaches the next day.

There isn't really a way you can order that unless you do what I do and just asked for whipped vodka and water. I add my redneck mixer at the table :laugh:

How about whipped vodka with water and a lemon and I can add strawberry lemonade Crystal Light. Would this taste alright? Not a fan of pink lemonade, but I do like a bit of citrus. I don't want to mix flavors that shouldn't be mixed, though. I've never tried whipped vodka.
