Does anyone know any healthy alternatives (besides the obvious- water) to a lot of orange juice? It's my brothers 21st, so I was wanting to find a combination to go with Skyy. No soda suggestions, please! :D

I didnt know if there was a lo cal OJ.

Thanks!

    I'd water the OJ down with more vodka. ;)

    You could try watering down the juice and add a small squeeze of lemon to tart it up a little more.

    Your best best, would just have a couple drinks (literally a couple, no more than 3), and call it good.

    crystal light orange water flavoring packets? i use them sometimes for a mixed drink. i've used the raspberry lemonade with water and vodka and it tasted pretty good.

    just do sky on the rocks with a spash of roses lime ( vodka gimlet ) OR try sky on the rocks with 3 to 4 lemon/limes. ANY "juice" you will get at the bar is not like the juice you would drink with breakfast. it is LOADED with 100X the suger. I am a bartender, I know these things.

    Also the plus side to my drinks I listed above is that one will last you a while and the buzz comes fast ( cheaper bar tab yay )

    Water, Vodka, and lots of lemon and lime slices! I was skeptical at first, but it's very refreshing. There is also a Light Cranberry by Ocean Spray at 50 cals/ 8oz. They have a diet version with 0 cals, but I cannot stand the taste of Splenda, so that's out for me.

    Ocean Spray makes several Diet juice drinks (cranberry, cran-grape, cran-pomegranate, cran-blueberry). They are all like 8 calories for 8 oz.

    I like peach flavored fresca (no calories) with vodka and a splash of juice (e.g. orange, crystal light). Peach fresca is an awesome mixer. Sometimes hard to remember a shot of liquor has ~100 calories, so be careful if you're counting.

    you could look in the powdered drink section at your local food store...I know Walmart makes a sugar free orange drink (it kind of reminds me of Tang).

    How does it taste with lime juice? Still pretty strong or a good balance?

    V8 Fusion has a low cal tropical flavor that's to die for and I also buy Ocean Spray Blueberry Pomegranate which is also very yummy.

    You could mix it with V8 or tomato juice and make a bloody mary.
