What is your best option for a low cal cocktail in a social setting. Meeting friends for dinner and drinks. Dinner I can handle but no idea what is a good choice for a cocktail. Other than light beer. Thx!!

Hi Kimxoxo- I think Meg-O nailed it! Great idea on the vodka drink mixed with a splash of cranberry juice and soda water.
You could also do vodka with 1/2 soda water and 1/2 tonic water and fresh lime. This runs you about 130 calories per drink, saving you about 25-50 calories. As always, alternate between an alcoholic and non-alcoholic drink when you are out. This helps to make sure the alcohol doesn't go straight to your head AND you stay hydrated. I try to delay having a drink right when I have arrived, and thus wait for dinner before I enjoy my cocktail or glass of wine. This is another small way to reduce the total calories you take in from alcohol. Be safe and enjoy! Joanna
