Okay, tonight is my best friends 21st birthday. I don't go to the bars much (I've only been 21 for 6 months) I am a fruity drinker. I hate beer! I love me some sex on the beach! Anyone know a drink I could get at the bar that isn't going to be too awful for me? Something fruity and tastes good! Thanks all!

    Any vodka mixed drinks should be OK.

    You start mixing in the juices and the calories go up over 200+ per cocktail. and you never know at the bar what the ratio is because you are not able to measure it yourself

    A gin and slimline tonic with a massive wedge of lime is around 50 cals...but not at all sweet. How about malibu and diet coke/lemonade?

    Yes, malibu rum is delicious. It has a pineapple taste to it. Very yummy!

    Exactly.

    I recently started drinking water w/ maraschino cherries or lime as a garnish so it looks like I'm drinking alcohol, I just can't save up that many calories (prolly around 800 by the night is over) just to get a little buzz. I can say that the next mornings have been way more productive lmao :)

    If I *had* to drink, I would do diet coke & rum. The lowest cal you're gonna get, about 100-120cals per 1oz. shot, and the diet coke is calorie free.

    Have fun!! :drinker:

    3 Olives Purple Vodka (not Grape!) and Sprite. It's so good...You can even drink the vodka straight -- it tastes JUST like a grape popsicle. Any of the 3 Olives brand are awesome, especially Espresso (espresso martinis!!). My friend and I concocted a mixture with the Espresso one, mixed with coffee, kahluah, and chocolate liqeur. REALLY good <3

    There is a lot of talk about the calories in Malibu, but I haven't heard much about the carb content. Any thoughts on that? Diet coke & Malibu with lime or Skinnygirl margaritas have been my go-to drink since I joined MFP. Delicious!
