When I go out I usually drink vodka and fresh orange. I want to drink something with the vodka that has no or few calories. I have moved onto vodka and diet vimto but I really want to cut out fizzy drinks. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    I have vodka with lime cordial and soda water. I suppose you could have still water with cordial of whatever flavour and vodka.

    Oops...sorry just realized you said when you go out! My girlfriend drinks the flavored vodka with soda and a lemon or lime

    Crystal Light!
    Or Seltzer with a dab of soda or juice- if you want healthy fizz :)

    Vodka with diet cranberry juice is yummy if the place you go has it...

    MFP has diet cranberry (generic) listed as 5 cals a glass :) +++ NO FIZZ! lol

    Last night I had a vodka tonic with diet tonic water which was actually fantastically low on calories but there are two problems with this drink; I would be surprised if any bar offered diet tonic water an you're trying to stay away from fizzy drinks.

    I'm usually a scotch drinker (on the rocks) but in a pinch when we've been out I have gone for a flavored vodka (if they have Three Olives Vodka in your area, those are great) on the rocks. There is just enough flavor so that it doesn't taste like straight vodka but no extra calories to worry about....just be sure to go slow!

    i have put weight on recently due to drinking when out. I love red wine particularly merlot, i can have three bottles in one night, as long as i dont eat any supper/dinner.

    But i do have to be very controlled with my eating all week and also exercise 6 out of 7 seven days!!!

    In regards to beer does anyone have any ideas of which is the best to drink??? bearing in mind that i can drink quite a bit!!

    Vodka, diet juice (cranberry is good) and a slice of lemon, lime or orange squeezed in..

    I either go for extra dirty stoli martinis or a flavored vodka, water & lemons squeezed in it. (I like the aboslut acai berry, three olives grape, or stoli cranberi the best like this. My husband prefers the three olives cherry.)
