What if you’re trying to maintain a trim waistline? No problem! With the perfect Light Lively Cocktails, you can have your drink and keep your figure too.
The Perfect Low-Calorie Cocktails
Goodbye calorie-loaded cocktails, hello sassy skinny sips! Remember, calories from alcohol are stored as fat, hence why some cocktails have earned the “beer belly” reputation.
First, let’s start with the ever-popular Mojito. A traditional Mojito has sugar, mint, lime juice, white rum, and club soda. To make it low calorie, you simply need to swap out the sugar for a natural sweetener like Stevia. You’ll be left with a refreshing drink that’s ready for summer and weighs in at only around 100 calories!
Try a classic like a Margarita, but make it skinny! A traditional Margarita can run up to 300 calories, but who needs that? Instead, grab tequila, lime juice, orange juice, and some Stevia for sweetness. Serve it on the rocks for a figure-friendly cocktail under 100 calories.
Lastly, let’s talk wine. Did you know there’s a lower-calorie alternative that’s just as refreshing? It’s called a Wine Spritzer! A lovely blend of wine (white, rose, or red), club soda and fresh fruit for flavour, coming in at just about 80 calories for a 5oz serving.
Mix Up Your Own Light Lively Cocktails
Mixing up Light Lively Cocktails on your own isn’t as complicated as it sounds! With a few smart swaps, you can shake it up like a pro and serve refreshments that don’t jeopardize your weight loss goals!
