Calories range dramatically from cocktail to cocktail! Here are a few delicious drink suggestions to keep you on the light side.
MOJITO (160 calories-15g sugar) vs. LONG ISLAND ICED TEA (700 calories-40g sugar) Skip the LIT and go for a Mojito. You’ll save 520 calories. COSMOPOLITAN (150 calories-12g sugar) VS. MARGARITA (500 calories-32g sugar) The typical Margarita is loaded with calories and sugar due to the sweet & sour mix. Try Baja Bob's Sugar Free Margarita Mix! He's getting rave reviews. Make your margarita low cal with Bob. BLOODY MARY (150 calories-10g sugar) vs. PINA COLADA (625 calories-75g sugar) Trade the sugary sweetness of the Pina Colada for the spice of the Bloody Mary and save 475 calories.

Hot and New! "Skinny Bitch"
SkinnyTinis-All the Fun for Half the Calories
Recipe Book!
This is what the author, Teresa Howes, has to say about it:
How do we maintain or lose weight without giving up small pleasures in life like a night out on the town with the girls or a stiff martini after a long day at the office? That was the question that prompted me to begin looking at alcohol differently. Instead of trying to avoid it, I'd prefer to find ways to modify recipes and habits so I can still enjoy my favorites.
Hence the advent of SkiinnyTinis! I was so proud of my concoctions and revelations that I felt compelled to share them with the rest of the social drinkers who share my struggle. The recipes in this book have been tested, and users have rated them just as tasty as their high-calorie counterparts (if not tastier). The only difference? They have less than half the calories.
