    I tried light cranberry juice and vodka last house party I had. Absolute worst Idea ever! Tasted disgusting and I didn't want to waste it so I just chugged it. I was in the glory bowl about 30 minutes later xD

    I honestly think this would do the same thing to me. Still leaning towards Sprite Zero at this point. I have to make a choice in the next 25 minutes.
    .
    Forgot about spritezero! yum!

    The question now is, do they have it where he is going to get the goods.. I hope so!!

    Even if that is what I choose tonight, I am thankful for all of the advice and will definitely be trying out different things in the future!

    Polar makes delicious flavored seltzer water. ALL different flavors- - Banana, peach, blueberry, cranberry lime, lemon lime, pina colada, etc. I mix that with GIN :) I looooove my gin. Sometimes I have gin for dinner... "Ginner" ...

    Will definitely be checking out the 'Polar' line.. thanks for the share!

    [/quote] Bloody mary it's like a liquid salad. With your calories left you'll be well within your calorie goal. Unless you drink the whole bottle then you're just bada$$

    I usually DO drink the whole bottle. Not only am I fat, I am a drunk. Thank God for MFP.

    Ok I haven't read all of the previous posts so I'm not sure anyone has mentioned this yet, but my new favorite drink is this brand new low-calorie vodka called Voli light vodka. It has half the calories of regular vodka, only 72 calories for 1.5 ounces! And it's pretty good quality because it doesn't have that nasty rubbing alcohol taste. I actually usually mix it with water and a flavored drink packet like Crystal Light, or lately I've been using the liquid water flavoring stuff called Mio. Here's a link to the vodka website, and it has a ton of recipes for low-cal mixed drinks to make with it: http://www.volispirits.com/ Hope this helps!! I've really fallen in love with the stuff cause I can relax and have a few drink without the guilt!

    Vodka and diet sprite or vodka and club with a splash of cranberry. Vodka and crystal light lemonade is also good, or vodka crystal light lemonade with the club soda or sprite for a "kick"

    I do vodka water with lime juice and fresh lime slices. When mixed properly, you can't really taste the vodka. It just tastes like yummy lime water :)

    Vodka and Sprite Zero

    or My favorite not sure where you are located there is a flavored water (they sell in publix in the water aisle) they have grapefruit lemon lime or orange or berry - Mixed with Vodka it's great and has no soduim or calories

    I agree with this... Maybe get a flavored vodka so it tastes more like a fruity fizzy drink than alcohol. Congrats on four years with the guy!!! :flowerforyou:

    Since it's a special occasion, and (I'm assuming) not something you do every day, why not just drink something you like, in moderation, instead of forcing yourself to drink something you don't really like because it's a "better option." Just a thought.

    Rum is actually my favorite, but I was under the assumption vodka was a lil better for you?

    you're saving 100 calories if you have 5 shots (1.5 oz)
    i'll stick with Grey Goose or Stoli.

    I'm meeting in the middle, as you can see from some of my posts, there are a few I wasn't willing to go for tonight.
    AKA Club Soda. I just cant do that, blech,

    Pink lemonade with barcardi limon, or crystal light could be a good base to mix with vodka. Good Luck and Happy Anniversary!

    Try pouring a cup of vodka and adding a packet of crystal light/water flavoring to it...we did that with tequila on NYE and it was actually pretty good!

    I also like flavored run...passion fruit being my favorite, and I can drink shots of it with no problem...and no chasers! :drinker:
