so, I turn to my trusty source of all things: Google. I am looking for a drink that doesn't involve 10 different ingredients and pretty easy to prepare. while it's still summer, I thought I would share a few cocktails that won't break our diets!
Cuban Mojito: Skinny Taste |
- 1.5 oz Bacardi Rum
- 12 fresh spearmint leaves
- 1/2 lime
- 7 oz sprite zero or club soda
- 2 tbsp. splenda
in
a cool tall glass, muddle the mint, Splenda and lime juice. add crushed
ice. add rum, soda and stir well. garnish with a lime wedge and a few
sprigs of mint. serve with a straw.
Mimosa: Everyday Health
- 2 ounces Minute Maid light orange juice beverage
- 4 ounces champagne
- Juice of 1/2 medium-size orange, or 1 to 2 ounces
just slice up 4 apples and 3 oranges. combine fruit with 1 pound red grapes, halved; 3 bottles light- to medium-bodied red wine; 1 can Fresca (or any diet lemon soda); and 1 can club soda. chill mixture, and serve over ice for 16 servings of scrumptiousness. Here’s the best part: Each serving has only 173 calories!
Skinny Margarita: She Knows |
- 2 ounces silver tequila
- 1 1/2 ounces lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 ounce agave nectar
substitute agave nectar with a sugar-free sweetener to make this drink only 140 calories (with: 220 calories)
the easiest way to accomplish an easy skinny cocktail is to check out the line of SkinnyGirl products by Bethanny Frankel. I have tried the margarita, and it isn't half bad. I guess for 100 calories per serving, I can't really be asking for much. Luckily, there are more than the margarita to sample, and liquor too!
I'm certain that there is at least one drink that I should be able to make that I find tasty, strong, and I won't need to run 5 miles to make up for! If anyone has any suggestions on recipes to try, please comment!
