    I found them to be interesting however for the price they are not worth it! I found Jose Lite margarita alcohol in it and it was cheaper for the same amount of calories. Also i have discovered a 'bucket' of light margarita mix (found at Sam's Club) which for 6oz of mix was only 50 calories! You do have to add the alcohol, so i added 1 oz of tequila for about 70 calories making a large tall one for the low price of 120 calories, where as the alcohol in it already is around 170 for the same amount (give or take-doing the number crunching from memory right now). I am on a money budget but my friend and I like to have a margarita celebration after our weekly weigh in's if we both lost at least one pound :)

    Glad to hear the White Cranberry Cosmo is good! I bought some last weekend, but didn't get a chance to crack the bottle. it is 34 cals per 1.5 oz. I'm a light weight so I'm sure it won't take much for me! lol

    Honesty - the regular vodka tastes like a headache waiting to happen. Get the good stuff for the extra 30 calories. Well worth not having a headache.

    i really really did not like the margarita. I love my margaritas and prefer to choose my tequilas. I don't drink them often, so when I do, I want a real one.

    I have tried the wine, it's ok. I really enjoy my margaritas. I get the Jose Cuervo Light margarita mix. It's 0 calories and 1 carb per serving. It tastes light and refreshing. I mix it with some good quality tequila and it is awesome!!

    I haven't tried it but I read an article about the wine a while ago that said there really isn't a caloric difference between the Skinny Girl wines and any other wine. I'd rather have better wine, personally, if the calories are that close.

    You could always just make your own...

    96 calories per serving!!!

    Ingredients
    Red wine - 12 ounces
    3 sliced oranges
    1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
    12 ounces sierra mist free

    Directions
    slice the oranges
    put orange slices and berries into pitcher
    pour wine over fruit
    add sierra mist

    for best results, soak wine and fruit together for a few hours before adding Soda

    Number of Servings: 6

    I can't wait to try this! I have a bunch of red wine at home and just frown at it and pout. Maybe this weekend I will give myself a calorie window to do this! Sounds awesome!

    Yeah, I wasn't impressed with the margarita at ALL. I tried it about a year ago and my husband and I ended up drinking it as shots just to get rid of it. It wasn't sip-worthy.

    I say just drink the "good stuff." I don't drink often anymore so I just drink what I want when I need something alcoholic. Except beer.. I've grown to love MGD 64.

    I'll stick to my Absolut. I'm not concerned about 10 calories difference from Skinny Girl wrecking my diet! :laugh:

    I tried the margarita one once and it gave me a MASSIVE stomachache. I think it was the sweeteners. I would rather just make my own margaritas using fresh lime juice and club soda. As for wine, sometimes I will do a wine spritzer with club soda or just drink white wine with ice.

    I'm most interested in the skinnygirl vodka. It has 75 calories for 1.5 oz and most other vodkas are 65 for 1 oz. SO, as long as the taste is decent (or as decent as vodka can get), I'll be buying that from now on. I like to drink vodka with water and some squirts of a Mio (calorie free water flavor).



    Voli positions itself as the world's first low calorie vodka, with a 1.5-oz serving hovering around 80 calories. Made organically with French wheat, Voli is also enhanced with hydrating electrolytes. The original Lyte variety is supplemented by several others such as Pear Vanilla, Raspberry Cocoa, and the latest flavor, Mango Coconut (launching in July). These fruit-flavored versions boast clean notes of flavor without a cloying aftertaste. A shot of Voli goes down smooth, though it also mixes well with tonic or club soda in a cocktail.

    I thought the margarita tasted bad.

    You can make your own version and this tastes great:

    Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, 1 shot tequila, 1/2 - 1 shot of agave nectar, juice of 1 lime and shake! I even add chilled mineral water to mine...

    I don't like the original margarita flavor. The peach margarita and pina colada flavors are DELISH though!!!
