Smoked maple bourbon. oh, you know what? I think I'll go to the ABC store tomorrow! Thank u!
Release the Kraken! It also costs about as much as Captain (and taste so much better, I can't drink Captain anymore). I'm a fan also of Knob Creek's Smoked Maple Bourbon, I can also drink that straight, it's sweet enough for me.Here is another option. Buy Kraken rum and drink it straight over ice. That is so smooth and so tasty. You won't believe me til you try it lol!!!

Unnecessary when you've mastered the art of chair dancing. Total upper body workout. Burns TONS of cals.0 -
Suddenly I feel much less of a total nerd. XD I have so done the chair dance thing... I can tear UP a real dance floor though, let me at it.0

It's nice to know that people who have fitness/weight loss goals still drink lol i just couldn't imagine completely cutting it out! I think the only reason I've been successful this time is because I've learned that I don't have to eat only salad I'll definitely take a look at the water mixes tomorrow.. I never looked at them as something to mix with alcohol before.

Diet coke & rum
Brandy straight or with a dash of water
Gin & Crystal Light

This sounds right up my alley. I love anything with coconut and/or pineapple. So.... pina coladas! Right now I'm drinking a mojito I quickly concocted.
Yum I go nutty for mojitos!
When I can be bothered making them properly they are sooo nice!
As a quick cheat - I found some low calorie mojito flavour - brand is hansells I think only a few cals per serve, you add the rum, a little bit of flavour and top up with soda water for a low cal mixer and its not bad either and doesn't have that awful diet taste. Few fresh mint leaves muddled in for good luck and its a winner!
I just found the website: hansells.com/ourfoods/browseourrange/HansellsMixers.aspx
5 cals per glass. I keep meaning to try the cosmopolitan one but haven't got there yet
How did you do yours?0 -
Actually this seems like a good time to ask (sorry OP for doing this here) - How does everyone else find the nutritional info of alcohol accurately? I am struggling with this - there are many MFP database entries that conflict...

My go-tos: flavored vodka with plain soda water or flavored soda water with plain or flavored vodka. There's even a lower-calorie vodka called skinny girl.
People make fun of me but who cares, I've lost almost 50 lbs and haven't quit drinking.0 -

Thanks for this, I'm gonna check it out. I've just been following this recipe: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/the-real-mojito/. I use a simple syrup instead of just putting the sugar in the glass, because when I do that it doesn't want to fully disolve. I don't have ice in my house, which I'm sure definitely lowers the yumminess factorlalabrucey wrote: »FluffySandwich wrote: »lalabrucey wrote: »FluffySandwich wrote: »I just got some white rum and I know there are some good drinks out there.

I don't think my mojito calories are accurate at all! I also need to figure this out!lalabrucey wrote: »Actually this seems like a good time to ask (sorry OP for doing this here) - How does everyone else find the nutritional info of alcohol accurately?

Cheers for that. In summer I make a simple mint syrup and let it steep overnight as I found just adding sugar didn't dissolve either and making a syrup I reckon you use less sugar and it increases the mint flavour.
Maybe I'll start a new thread re how to accurately find calories in alcohol as I think others are in the same boat - be great to get some answers. I am quite accurate with everything else and my sometime OCD tendencies struggle with guessing for alcohol haha!

I created one that is refreshing and is only 70 calories. I take fresh basil and mash it up, add 1/2 a pineapple ring, also mashed up. Put it in a tall glass as add a shot of coconut infused vodka and top with diet Sprite. It's perfect on a warm day.0

One nice thing about hard liquor is that since a larger part of it is alcohol, there isn't a lot of variation per serving size for the alcohol itself, and then the caloric heft of the drink just depends on what you add to it. I usually use 100-120 calories per 1.5 oz shot as a rule of thumb and then pick zero or very low calorie mixers. I think wine can be a bit more variable (I'm not a beer girl, so don't know there), but the amount of variation for a given type (i.e., table wine vs port) isn't enough to really make a ton of difference in the big picture. I usually estimate 125 or so calories for a 5 ounce glass of wine, just be mindful of what 5 ounces actually looks like.0
