Looking for some low calorie ideas for cocktails. I really love the "Skinny Girl" drinks and it's nice because there are three different types: Margarita, Sangria & Cosmo (my fave). Lately if I go out for a drink I try to stick with a skinny margarita or light beer.

Any other ideas? :smile:

    I like vodka soda with a splash of cranberry (about 86 calories).

    I usually drink light beer. 110 calories a can, it is horrible. Good thing since I don't drink as much, I get drunk fast. Before a 12 pack wouldn't even affect me. Now after 2 I am feeling the buzz already.

    I wish I liked red wine! I'm more of a white wine kinda girl. Maybe eventually I'll acquire a taste for it!

    I also hate the bloat that I get when I drink beer! Not flattering! Haha

    Vodka and tonic with some lime.
    Dry red wine, I'm just two months away from legal age in Canada and I've already developed a taste for it , weird what getting older does to you!
    Basically any clear hard alcohol like light rum or vodka will run you 60-80 calories/shot if I'm not mistaken, have it with some diet soda :)

    It's not fantastic but Lambrini do a light version at 40 calories a glass. It's also cheap.

    haha this is me now lol I normally drink Michelobe Ultra or MGD 64 since im doing the low carb thing, Also diet coke with pretty much any liquor- vodka, whiskey are my faves. Anything with fruit juice or sweet tasting is gonna be bucco calories. As long as I fight it into my calories for the day I say why not enjoy :-)
