    Try Sochu. It's half the calories of Vodka, and some have a similar taste to vodka. It's great on the rocks.

    ..."Shochu is Japan's other indigenous alcoholic beverage, but unlike sake, shochu is distilled. It is also made from one of several raw materials. The alcoholic content is usually 25%, although sometimes it can be as high as 42% or more."

    Are you doing this at home or out at a bar?

    When I'm out, I drink vodka soda with lime and a splash of cran (literally a splash, I like it very pale pink). Sometimes I do flavored vodkas, too, orange or blueberry are good! My friend sticks to ru, and Diet.

    At home, I drink white wine, mostly. 5oz of pinot grigio is about 120cals. But with mixed drinks, there are all kinds of options with diet and sugar free mixers. I want to try Skinnygirl, haven't yet!

    ETA: I LOVE mojitos, but generally make them at home when I have the stuff on hand because a lot of bars/restaurants make them VERY sweet, which I don't like.

    I like Captain Morgan spiced rum with diet coke, that's reaaally low cal! Basically any hard liquor you can mix up with a diet drink. But don't get anything with tonic water, it's like pure sugar x.x
    Busch light is really low cal, like 60-90 cals for a can, something like that. Also skinny margaritas or pina coladas made with sugar free mixers and 1-2 oz of tequila (margarita) or rum (pina colada) is under 100 cals. :)

    Tonic has as many calories as Coke but you can buy diet tonic. Be warned though, most bars don't stock diet tonic.

    I drink vodka water with a lemon and lime -- just the calories of the vodka!

    Also, a glass of wine is under 200 calories.


    I do the same but with whiskey and club soda/charge water to get the carbonation!
