    I like doing Tito's Vodka (if available) with soda water and an orange wedge. Frickin refreshing. Crush up some mint leaves if you've got em and put those guys in there too. **begins daydreaming about happy hour** :drinker:

    Wow, that actually sounds surprisingly good! Very refreshing, and tito's is a little smoother than the cheap stuff, so this would be a great combo. I also really like vodka+diet with lemon -- far better than plain vodka and diet. Could work on the ice with the good stuff, probably.

    So many great suggestions...I will eventually try them all, haha!

    For the sake of keeping the drink calories as low as possible I bought Svedka Vodka (69 calories per 1 oz.) and I'll add some Mio into plain water for the mixer. I got black cherry and blueberry - lemonade flavors. I think that over lots of ice will be good.

    I'm so glad I asked because I got lots of great ideas! Thanks again everyone and I wonder how many people are getting schnockered tonight, lol. :laugh:

    I had a yummy one at Fleming's Steakhouse last night called The Farmer's Daughter. Vodka, muddled strawberries and basil with cranberry juice. I'm not sure if it is accurate, but I've looked it up a couple places and it is around 100 calories.

    My go to drinks are the light margarita mix (white peach), malibu or vodka with either diet soda or the sparkling flavored waters from the grocery stores. And flavored vodka may have more sugar but calorie content wise it's no different. Most alcohol really isn't that bad it's all the stuff added to it (soda/mixer) that makes them so high in calories really!

    "Most alcohol really isn't that bad"

    What? Alcohol is calories with ZERO nutritional value... there is nothing good for you about it (besides the buzz, of course).

    I think they meant it's not that high in calories. Way to buzzkill.

    Good, straight spirits - sip some tequila or bourbon! I have lately really been enjoying a "Sweet Tequini" which is a weird name because it's really a Manhattan with a reposado or anejo tequila substituted for bourbon. So - 4 or 5 parts tequila, one part sweet vermouth, one dash bitters, chilled in a shaker. Yum!
