I'm looking for recipes for some low cal cocktails. I loooove my budlight but know it's really not a smart choice. It's for a BYOB party so I'm not trying to buy a bunch of stuff. Any ideas?

    Caesers are pretty healthy, you get some added nutrition with them.

    Guess it would depend on how much vodka you add. I'm not so sure my vodka and water would only have 64 calories. :wink:

    we generally do some jim beam white label and diet pepsi... no cals from the mixers (where they usually come from) and 67 cals from each shot... if you are out, tell the bartender to make them accurate because you are working on your weight... if you are at home, then measure the alcohol you put in... hope this helps!

    That's a tough one. Usually cocktails for me mean I end up making bad food choices. Trying to find a balance!:drinker:

    Red wine is reasonable on cals and it has proven health benefits.

    Vodka and Sugar free RedBull, Jim Beam and Coke Zero, and or Budwiser 55. The 55 is nto as good at a budlight, but you get used to it. As with what others have added just make sure you messure. The shots are usually around 60 to 70, depending on what you buy. Good luck!

    tequila!!!!!!!!! You'll be such a stud. Cazadores is my recommendation. Don't forget the salt.

    http://www.getdrunknotfat.com is a great resource. It spells out alcoholic % by volume, calories and calorie to alcohol to ratio! My newest find has been Three Olives Cherry Vodka with diet ginger ale.

    vodka and club soda with a splash of cranberry juice and lime - my go-to drink! or red wine which as a few more calories but i get buzzed faster off of it and it supposedly has health benefits.

    My favorite is rum and diet coke with a slice of lemon.
