Are the Skinny Girl Beverages Any Good??

Options
I was thinking of having a glass of wine tonight and I remember that there was a line of adult beverages out called skinny girl? Have you tried any? Which ones are good? Thanks.

    They don;t taste bad, but they are just expensive weak drinks. Buy real booze and mix with a quality sugarfree mixer, the cal count is the same but much less expensive.

    I have only tried the Skinny Girl Margarita and I was not a fan. I LOVE Bethenny Frankel (the creator) so I wanted to love them, but unfortunately I did not.

    I'm generally pretty forgiving with 'diet' products, but I couldn't choke down the Skinny Girl Margaritas. Blech!

    It's the only one I've tried but it has put me off trying any of the others.

    One alternative is Bob's line of drink mixes which are really good, or mixing your liquor of choice with ice water and any of the bazillion flavors of Crystal Light.

    I've never had them, but if you're looking to mix drinks just use some diet soda and alcohol of your choice. I personally prefer vodka. Three Olives Pomegranate plus some diet cherry dr. pepper is SO good. It tastes like one of those sweet girly drinks but doesn't act like one :)

    ETA: Make sure you weigh your alcohol though.. it adds up! I use about 3oz per drink + the dr. pepper.

    I really enjoy the skinny girl beverages...to me there not sweet at all...they have the skinny girl vodka that you have to cut..it's really strong...40% proof....then I also don't feel as guilty when drinking them...there only 95 cal. to me it's worth the money

    I tried the white and wasn't a huge fan, but I guess it isn't bad if you're worried about the calories. I tried the rose too and it wasn't bad, although not my favorite either.

    This right here. I just mix real booze (1-2 ounces) with Sodastream diet flavorings because I like sparkly drinks.

    (I'm looking forward to when they offer flavors with Stevia instead of Splenda.)

    I've had the Skinny Girl margarita and wouldn't buy it again. It wasn't bad - just kind of syrupy - but there are so many tasty drinks out there why waste the money on something mediocre.

    Grape vodka - diet tonic water - splash of Sprite Zero : tasty and lo-cal.

    Crystal Light makes some really good mixers now and they are only 5 calories! Mix your booze with those and you have delicious low cal drinks!

    I tried the Skinny Girl drinks and did not like them at all

    I've had the Skinny Girl Margarita at a girls night party and none of us really liked it. The taste was off and we ended up drinking other things and tossing the margarita at the end of the night.

    Umm.. I've had the vodka, but it just tasted like vodka. Who cares what they taste like if they still get you drunk?! :drinker:

    I've only tried the Skinny Girl Margarita. None of us girls having a girls night out liked it. It tasted weak and just.... ick. So we tried to add sour apple Smirnoff to it. That just made it even worse!

    Try the Slim Bob Cosmopolitan mixer! It's DELICIOUS! 15 calories and 50% real juice. I made it with Vanilla Vodka and couldn't get enough!
