Going out for drinks


Quote  |  Reply

Halloween night, Friday, I am going out with my BF for some drinks to celebrate our anniversary. (Weird night, I know!) Anyway, I will be changing my eating habits that day to accomidate 2 or 3 drinks that evening. I was wondering what are the best drinks to order? I will be excercising that day and keeping my calorie count below normal so I can splurge a little bit, because I don't want to stop at one drink! What do all of you suggest? Diet and Vanilla VOdka? Wine? Cranberry and Vodka? Lets get some tips rolling!!!

clear liquors have the least calories. and obviously diet sodas have fewer calories than reguar, although there is a lot of evidence to suggest diet soda is pretty darn bad for you. vanilla vodka will have quite a few more calories than regular but it might be worth it to you. it's only one night-- i say eat, drink, and be merry. congrats!

I like to alternate alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks to keep my calories down.  I usually use soda water with a lime and a splash of cranberry juice as my non-alcoholic choice.  It's more festive than plain water.  I usually drink the same thing, but with vodka in it, as my alcoholic drink of choice.  It has a lot less juice than just cranberry and vodka, so it's lower in sugar.  

Greygoose Orange with a SPLASH of cranberry.  It's super strong but will last you quite a while.  It has a fraction of the calories of a regular cran-vodka.  Obviously you can sub this with any vodka you prefer.

When I went out last weekend I drank club soda and vanilla vodka all night.  I liked it.

a nice glass of vino (red also has tons of health benefits) is under 100 cals

My fav drink is Captain Morgan's Spiced rum and diet coke.  The rum is only 60 cals per ounce. :)

Skinny Margarita!

 

Silver Tequila, Coointreu, and fresh lime juice... DELISHHH!!!!! Had 1 last night!

Try either vodka water and lime juice or vodka club soda and lime juice.  Both taste great and then your only using about 200 calories for 4...WOW!!!

blueberry vodka and club soda is my current favorite.

Vodka and soda with 3 limes squeezed in.

It's my boyfriend and I's anniversary on friday too! (well...of the day we met, so it counts, right?) We met over straight shots of jack daniels...um yeah.

Anyway, this is what I usually order, I'm fresh out of college (so be warned) therefore I can handle just about anything on my taste buds at this point in my life.  but I love Vodka with water..(yup, plain water) it sounds horrible I know, but if you squeeze at least 2 (the more the better) lime wedges into it you wont taste the vodka at all, I SWEAR!

and this will also help since it's so strong you wont have to drink so many to get ya goin!

I'm a whiskey girl, so I either drink it straight or with diet coke! Vodka and soda w/lemon or lime is excellent and refreshing as well!  Sometimes I'll have vodka with half cranberry juice half soda water, and of course, a lime!  Have a great anniversary/Halloween!!

Vodka and water (fire water) does not taste as bad is it sounds! It tastes more like water! It keeps you hydrated and is only about 63 cals per drink!

I really like bacardi flavors with  club soda. My favorite is bacardi grand melon with soda, but razz, coco and apple are all good to. The only one i really wasn't impressed with was O, which surprised me. 68 calories per drink!!! Definitely my favorite way to go!!!
