MY GO-TO LOW CALORIE / SKINNY ALCOHOLIC DRINKS

 

When it comes to drinking, particularly with cocktails, it is so easy to consume a hell of a lot of calories with most being from sugar. Between juices and soft drinks things can get really high up into the ‘500 calories per drink’ spectrum.  

Don’t worry because I have you covered in this post where I am running you through my favourite low calorie skinny girl drinks.

Vodka Soda
Vodka is popularly one of the lowest calorie alcohols available. Mixed with sparkling water you get that bubbly fix without all the sugar from a soft drink. Better yet it comes with lemon, lime or sometimes both so you can balance out the alcohol with some detoxifying.  

Lemon, lime and bitters

This is a classic cocktail and a delicious balance of sweet and tangy. It is based on lemonade so if you use the diet version it will have no sugar. Other ingredients are lime juice cordial (which is available sugar free) and of course Angostura Bitters. Finish with ice cubes and slices of lemon for a yummy low calorie skinny girl drink.

Scotch and Coke
This is one of my personal favourites because of the rich taste but with full Coke things can get very sugary and high in calories. I personally drink Coke Zero but Diet Coke will also cross out a lot of the calories otherwise found in regular Coke.

So those are my top 3 go-to low calorie drinks when I am trying to stay away from sugar and don’t want to be consuming excessive amounts of calories through drinks.

If I’m not drinking one of these three options then I am treating myself to an Espresso martini or definitely have a glass of wine or champagne in my hand.
