    low cal cosmo:
    1 3/4 oz vodka
    1/4 ounce cointreau (it is normally 3/4 oz but if you add less then that = less sugar)
    splash of diet cranberry juice
    squeeze of lime

    shake and strain :) yumm!!

    i've been all about red wines lately... i'm trying to get the full effect of all the good antioxidants :drinker:
  • Crystal Light even has packets you can use as a mixer in flavors like Lime Margarita, Mojito, etc.:drinker:

    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!

    You might try some warm climate Pinot Noirs. They tend to be fruitier without being super sweet (aka extra sugar + carbs).

    Orrrrr, just don't drink.

    we must have a little vice in our lives. It makes restrictive diets more bearable! ;)

    Thank you...I wanted to reply to that post, but couldn't figure out how without sounding mean!

    Great suggestions, thanks!
  • Vodka and crystal light!
  • agreed sweet reds are much nicer than a straight red, avid wine enthusiast. Never really developed the taste for Cabernet or Merlot, but any sweet red or white zin will do the trick.

    DITTO!

    I also learned that Jack and Diet Coke is like 65 calories. Good thing I love whiskey!
    (it's also the only time I ever drink soda anymore, funny enough)

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

    Sounds yummy!

    ^^I'm with this, but add sparkling water and lemon... a vodka spritzer!
  • When I drink beer I usually go with Michelob Ultra..

    Ugh I struggle with this one as well. I switch between Light beers and Vodka-Waters-w/-Lime-Juice. anything has just been out of the question for me. I hate to say it, but I try to only drink on days that I have excercise calories to use for them. If i don't work out, I don't let myself drink. :drinker: :drinker:

    SO with you on that!

    I created a fun drink this summer:

    1 oz Vanilla vodka (absolut is the best)
    3 oz Green Tea Canada Dry Ginger Ale (not diet...so, if you use diet, this drink would be only about 69 calories)
    fill remainder of glass with sparkling water

    About 100 cals

    it's in the food listing under:

    Absolut Gr Tea Cocktail

    This is my fav, only with seltzer water, most bars I've been to don't keep diet sprite.

    Vodka or rum with any diet soda/juice. Or just cut hard liquor with water and a squeeze of lemon or lime.
  • sobe zero cal water comes in a ton of yummy fruit flavors and is awesome with light rum or the pinnacle vodka flavors.

    If I have to drink soda diet coke or diet mountain dew are good with malibu.

    No compromise on my beer, Guinness is still my favorite even at 198 calories in a pint.
