Vodka Question

OK, so its friday and I decided to have a few drinks. Usually, I make my drinks with about 4ounces of vodka and 8 ounces of whatever Im mixing it with. Does that seem like too much?

Actual serving for alcoholic spirits (vodka, gin, burbon, rum, ect) is 1-1.5 oz, so yes~

This might sound kinda too "party girl" ish but I just do shots and chase it with a diet coke. I kinda like to celebrate weekends too! But you know, responsibly since I'm a wife and mother of two. So like tonight I'm having 2-3 shots of bicardi rum with diet coke and tracking it all. Each shot is 65 calories tho so I just made sure to work out today

My husband says if you mix it with crystal light you can't taste the vodka

Drink it straight, no calories from mixers. I drink everything straight with lots of ice...For the most part.

Not unless you are pounding one down every half hour for three hours. Just use something either low or no cal for a mixer.

2 weeks ago I was thrilled to find a cocktail that was low in carbs and calories. Dirty Vodka martini so I say party and look good while doing so.

You could switch to tequila and get training wheels (lime and salt) I feel like that takes the taste away pretty good. They are similar in calories.

try the vodka with a flavored club soda or seltzer water with a piece of lemon or lime..no calories or sodium except for the vodka

Nope not at all...Id say every hour and a half to the drink. And Im using a Zero Calorie Arizona Iced Tea. Not the best tasting but it works.

If u liked fruit loops as a kid...look up LOOPY vodka. I mix mine w/ sprite. It tastes and smells like fruit loops.

That sounds yummy! Does it taste like the Sprite Remix they used to make? I always thought that tasted like fruit loops.

Is that pinnacle? Pinnacle has marshmallow flavored, cotton candy flavored and a bunch of others. Probably not so low calorie though. I haven't checked though.

Thanks for the comments and ideas everyone

I second the dirty martini! Vodka, vermouth, splash of green olive juice and you even get a bonus olive snack lol. Low cal, low carb and classic. Plus I've noticed guys are usually impressed by a girl that appreciates a good martini or a good scotch

dawnkilmurray

That sounds like a stiff drink. Every shot is 100 calories.

:drinker: somebody say vodka?!?!?!!!!!
