Hey there! I'm going out with my girl friends tonight and I have saved around 300ish cals. I ate dinner so that I'm not tempted to get food there as well. Anyway, I was wondering what are the best cocktails in terms of calories that won't do too much damage to my diet, (I'm planning to just have one)

    Wine, champagne and light beer are all around 110-130. Cocktails-wise, anything + diet is going to be good, e.g. rum + diet coke, vodka + diet sprite, crown + diet coke, etc. My current go-to low-cal cocktail is gin and tonic but I used to love me some rum and diets...

    Be smarter! Pass on any kind of alcohol. Go for: a club soda with twist of lime and an orange slice. You can be just as festive and enjoy the party more, stone cold sober. :)

    I try to do some kind of flavored vodka with club soda with lime or lemon. 2oz of vodka is 148 cals and everything else is zero :drinker:

    If you're in a position to prepare it yourself, I like to make fake margaritas haha. I just use lemon and lime juice, sprite zero, ice, and tequilla (obviously =p) and throw it all in the blender. The lemon/lime juices add about nill, so it's really just the cals from the alcohol.

    White wine spritzer. (seltzer water with a splash of wine). I make these at home and can have 3 or 4 for the same calories and alcohol as just drinking the glass of wine all at once, plus I get more water as a bonus! Have fun!!

    My drink of choice for low calorie is Captain Morgan and Diet Coke. However, I tend to sip them down quickly because I can't taste the alcohol, so I have like 10 before I now it WHOOPS :drinker:

    If it is just a beer or two, I might do a high calorie beer like Sierra Nevada just because I enjoy them, but a night out drinking I stick to liquor because it is so much lower in calories.
