What are some low calorie liquor beverages I can drink when I'm at the bar with friends?

Question

I don't really like beer. But I'm trying to eat healthy and lose some weight. I was just wondering what drinks I can drink at a bar that taste good and are low calorie. I know that I could just not go to the bar, but a bunch of my friends birthdays are this weekend.

I usually drink sweeter cocktails... Any ideas?

Answer 1

Stick with Cape cods (cranberry and vodka).

Answer 2

bacardi rum and diet coke or diet sprite with a lime wedge is very good

Answer 3

Drinks such as Gin with slimline tonic only have about 50 calories in them. If you choose a single shot liquor with a slimline mixer, there shouldn't be any more than 100 calories. Whiskeys tend to have more calories than e.g. vodka or gin.

Answer 4

Light beers, but they still have a fair amount of calories

Mike's Hard light or Smirnoff lights are still fairly high too.

your best bet is sodas & cocktails that use diet sodas and vodka/gin/rum, since they have been distilled, they have VERY little calories, and of course the diet sodas have none.

check with the bar tender, he might have suggestions or specific drinks he can make.   I know there are a few companies now making mixes and syrups that are low or no-calorie, some bars are starting to stock them.

I am personally trying to find a way of making a sugar-free margarita... but other than the premixxed Baja Bob's stuff that isn't available locally, i think i will be stuck with some sort of sugar-free lime drink, ice & tequila, but that might not taste too good.

Answer 5

Most clear liquors have a very little amount of calories…

- diet sprite, vodka or gin

- diet coke, clear rum

All beers have lots of carbs which turn into lots of calories.

Answer 6

All booze is high in calories, period.  If you're drinking to get drunk rest assured you're taking on over a meal's worth of calories no matter how you slice it.

Drink whatever tickles your fancy, if you're concerned about staying fit just don't drink regularly.
