Sucker for a good drink!

I stick to wine and beer the majority of the time because I know how many calories I'm getting.... Those drinks at restaurants can pack tons of sugar and calories. I found out after I started losing weight that one chocolate martini packs 400 calories! Add up several of those and you are consuming 800 plus calories!

Oh girl, alcohol is ALWAYS my calorie killer. It's tough because on average, an ounce of vodka or tequila has around 70 calories and a glass of wine can easily put you over 100 calories. In general, when I know I'll be drinking I make sure to exercise plenty in the morning and fill up on high density, lower calorie foods.

There are the obvious bare-bone drinks like straight up shots, light beers, hard liquors with diet sodas, or the ever so classy sugar-free jello shots. My favorite drink has always been and probably will always be a margarita. I make mine with about half a cup of fresh squeezed lime juice, a fourth a cup of tequila, ice cubes, and three to four strawberries. Most margaritas call for a little bit of Triple Sec, but I don't think the extra calories are worth it. If I put enough ice in there, I usually get enough for two decent sized margaritas for under 100 calories each. Not bad in my opinion! If it's too sour, I'll add a little truvia sweetener. So that's my favorite drink recipe. Hope you find something that works for you!

I'm luckly not a drinker! I drink maybe 2x a year. I've heard though that spakling water and MIO mixed with liquor is great. You can use different flavors and just go with it.

My skinnier margarita is fantastic and honestly I don't miss those sugary margies anymore since I discovered this little gem of a recipe.

1/4 packet of crystal light lemonade mix (single serving)
2 teaspoons lime juice
2 shots of Tequila

Mix ingredients together. Fill with ice and top with Sprite Zero (usually about 1/2 can for a 16 oz drink). Enjoy!

Double Jameson, neat. (pour it in the glass, and hand it to me)

Alcohol is the worst enemy.

1. Margaritas etc can be 500 calories or more. The triple sec adds more sugars and calories. Try to make them without triple sec, and rather than a sweet mixer, try a diet lime soda for the mixer.

2. Cosmopolitans can be about 300. The cranberry, triplesec, and flavored vodkas have extra sugars. Try a cranberry and vodka. At home, I can buy Diet cranberry with 0 calories and mix it with plain vodka and add fresh lime or lemon to it, or even mint leaf.

3. Mojitos can be refreshing and light if made right. Again, watch the simple syrup or mixers added that can have lots of sugar. Use clear rum with club soda, fresh lime and a diet lemon lime soda to replace the simple syrup.

4. Beers can be 150 calories, such as leinenkugels. Stick to light beers. MG 64 is the lowest I've found. Corona light is 99. Miller light is 96.

5. Wine has less calories, but watch the size glass you drink from, 60 calories can turn to 120 in a large wine goblet. Wine spritzers can cut the calories in half. Use half wine with half diet lemon lime soda, or club soda with an orange, lemon or lime for flavor.

a glass of prosecco or cava (125ml) is about 100 cals and I always think it feels quite a treat so I tend to drink it slower

I like vodka or gin with club soda and extra lemon and/or lime.
