Looking for some low calorie ideas for cocktails. I really love the "Skinny Girl" drinks and it's nice because there are three different types: Margarita, Sangria & Cosmo (my fave). Lately if I go out for a drink I try to stick with a skinny margarita or light beer.

Any other ideas? :smile:

    I like vodka soda with a splash of cranberry (about 86 calories).

    I usually drink light beer. 110 calories a can, it is horrible. Good thing since I don't drink as much, I get drunk fast. Before a 12 pack wouldn't even affect me. Now after 2 I am feeling the buzz already.

    Dry red wine is the best.

    I wish I liked red wine! I'm more of a white wine kinda girl. Maybe eventually I'll acquire a taste for it!

    I also hate the bloat that I get when I drink beer! Not flattering! Haha

    Vodka and tonic with some lime.
    Dry red wine, I'm just two months away from legal age in Canada and I've already developed a taste for it , weird what getting older does to you!
    Basically any clear hard alcohol like light rum or vodka will run you 60-80 calories/shot if I'm not mistaken, have it with some diet soda :)

    Beer is the one place that I REFUSE to cut calories. Ugh. No "light" beer for me. =)

    It's not fantastic but Lambrini do a light version at 40 calories a glass. It's also cheap.

    haha this is me now lol I normally drink Michelobe Ultra or MGD 64 since im doing the low carb thing, Also diet coke with pretty much any liquor- vodka, whiskey are my faves. Anything with fruit juice or sweet tasting is gonna be bucco calories. As long as I fight it into my calories for the day I say why not enjoy :-)

    I usually get a vodka and cranberry or a lemon drop on the rocks and I tell them not to use the mix. If they make it with just sugar, lemon juice and vodka it's usually 70-75 cals each. I also make sure to sip water in between drinks.

    Try a red wine thats called 'Sweet Red. Its tastes great, and its sweet like white, and not as tart as red.

    i like diet rootbeer and whipped vodka - tastes like a rootbeer float.

    Got to be Champagne! 89 calories a glass and too expensive to go overboard and drink too much!

    my friends and I take a bottle of water, drink it untill the water level is to the top of the label, then put your fave crystal light packet in and fill the rest of the bottle with vodka shake it up AND BOOM there ya go! Its delish low cal and works fast ( :D )
