Low cal Cocktails

Yes, cutting out the booze is an easy way to cut out calories. But, when celebrating with family and friends, it can be easy to get talked into "just one" and then "just one more."

Here are some of my favorite low cal cocktails. I actually plan these into my snack calories for the day.

Limon & Diet - The sweetness of Bacardi Limon counteracts the "diet" flavor (Tall = 136). Cut calories further by ordering "single in a double." That's one shot in a tall diet soda. (68)

Jameson Irish Whiskey - (69) I order it on the rocks, and let the ice slowly melt. Jameson & water is another popular drink.

Vodka(96) & Sugar Free Red Bull (10) - try flavored vodka to switch up the taste.

Guinness (125 per 12 oz)

MGD 64 (64)

Vodka, Seltzer & Cranberry (85) shaves a bunch of calories off the juice only version (210)

Bottom line - you can indulge without going overboard. Also, having a water in between drinks helps keep the drinking AND the drunkenness down to a minimum!

    Orange is my favorite! Good idea!
  • vanilla flavored vodka and sprite zero taste like vanilla soda

    THis sounds great, I will definitely try this.
  • I also wanted to add that any of those flavored vodkas and soda is very refreshing and low calories and tastes like your making your own soda creation. For example, I like to drink STOLI BLUEBERRY and soda when I go out and its delicious.
