Adult Beverages :)

vodka, soda water, little bit of low calorie cranberry juice..

vodka is around 68 cals an ounce I believe
soda water is 0 cal
low cal cranberry juice is about 40 per 250 ml so go for a half a cup at 20 cal

so 88 isn't so bad per drink i'd say..
:drinker:

Or if you don't like cranberry juice, you could go with diet bluberry juice which is 10 cals per cup making a drink of only 78 cals

Or any diet juice for that matter, I'm sure there are plenty out there..
I personally take the extra calories and go for the 100% juice rather than the sweetners just because I don't really trust all the sweetners they add in. But that's me..

vodka, club soda, and fresh lemon or lime juice, pomegranate juice is good to

I am a Captain Morgan and Diet coke type of girl. 60-120 calories a glass depending if its a single or a double.

50ml (double shot) vodka and diet coke = about 110 calories

Cherry vodka and diet coke has been my drink of choice lately.

Vodka on the rocks, vodka soda with lime or lemon, vodka diet tonic, tequila on the rocks, tequila soda, bloody marys (make sure the mix is lower in sugar and you're good to go)

Someone else posted a fantastic margarita drink. She also has a few other links on her post, just search margarita. :drinker:

Into a 12oz glass add 1oz of tequila (or to taste), one packet of Crystal Light Lemonade powder, 2 tablespoons of ReaLime (or similar), some ice cubes and 8oz of Diet 7UP (or Diet Sprite).

Mix thoroughly, garnish with a slice of lime-- and drink!

You can optionally add a splash of Triple Sec and/or Grand Marnier.

Most tequilas have around 69 calories/oz, the Crystal Light has 5 calories— and everything else has 0 calories.

So our 12oz margaritas have only 74 calories in them.

Does it taste *exactly* like a 500 calorie margarita?

No. But it DOES taste like about a 450 calorie margarita

because alcohol calories add up so fast and are void of nutrition - I stay away from them whenever possible. Don't get me wrong - I love my "adult" beverages - they just don't help the scale go down. I generally stick with diet soda or bottled water. Good luck!

Vodka, selzer water, and a squirt of mio. Makes a super low-cal and yummy drink! My fave is the grape pomegranate

i'm not so much of a spirits man, but when i go out for a evening or meal i will drink and my posion is pints, my particualr favirote brand nets me a lot of caliroies, so if i know i'm going out, i tend to eat a lower calroie meal now before if in the evening or in the evening when i eat if an afternoon thing.

even with all that however because of my drink of choices calrioe levels i have to ensure i have excerised before hand, to give me spare clarioes to play with, if i do that it is more than possiable to stay within my calorie goal on those days, you are getting a lot of good advice from everone so far, the best i can add is too keep track of it, if you don't have the abailty to use the app then work out how many drinks you can have before hand and stick to it, i find it really helped me just to be aware of what i was consuming.

I agree rum and diet coke it's like only 70 calories for the whole 12oz drink.. And it only takes a few of them lol :drinker:

More people need to appreciate fine scotch.

Light Hard Mikes Lemonade 109 cals per bottle

If you're drinking for taste, these are good. But if you want to feel a buzz you have to drink 3-4 and well, those calories add up.

Blanco Lunazul Tequila (1.5 ounces) + 1 packet Crystal Light Lemonade + 6 ounces lemon-lime diet soda = a pretty darn good mock-arita for 110 calories.

Gonna be a loner here and say skip the booze altogether if weight loss is the goal. All alcohol turns to sugar and sugar turns to fat. In the past, when I have drank while trying to lose, it really threw me off track. When you are eating healthy and trying to do whole foods, it just doesn't make sense to drink your calories, your body needs those to fuel your workouts, etc. So I say your best low cal drink is water. Yes I know I'm boring. But it's always safe.
