It's FRIDAY, I need Cocktail Suggestions

Ok…I need help!!!

I am going out to dinner and drinks…the eating out at a restaurant isn’t a problem, it’s the drinks!!!

I want to enjoy some cocktails…but I know for sure I don’t want to drink away my calories!

I really don’t like beer…nor do I like fruity tutti girly drinks….so I was curious if anyone has any suggestions of low cal concoctions…one I already got is diet coke and Bacardi, but anyone have anymore ideas???

Also, my fav drink is tequila so does anyone know the calorie content of patron tequila….I actually like this drink that is just tequila on the rocks, with a splash of triple sec liquor (its orangey flavored) and a spritz of lime juice!!

Thanks!!  and HAPPY FRIDAY

 

DrinksMixer.com has caloric content and recipes for plenty of drinks.  The most low-calorie one seems to be vodka and diet soda. 

i doubt a lot of restaurant have this, but if you're at home...

tequila and fresca is a great drink.  top w/ a squeeze of line (or maybe the orange liqueur you mentioned). 

Gimlet. It's just your favorite clear liquor on the rocks with Roses' Lime drizzled in and a slice of lime. Sounds similar to your favorite.

I like to get Absolute Citron gimlets.

Or Tanqueray 10 Gimlets.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

And it only takes on to get me drunk!

Hi, I'm a bartender! I also like Patron and used to make myself "diet margaritas." It'll definitely not taste as sugary as a regular margarita (and hence maybe not as good to the average person) but if you're on a diet, you'll probably appreciate it. I take a cocktail glass and fill it with ice, add a 1 1/2 shots of tequila and a splash of fresh lime juice (or ask for lime wedges) and a splash of OJ  and then fill the rest of the glass with club soda.

BTW, if I were you, I'd avoid triple sec and Rose's lime because they contain high fructose corn syrup which aren't really good for you. One ounce of triple sec has 100 calories. But if you just want a little bit once in a while, it probably wouldn't kill you. 

I also like flavored Stoli with club soda or unsweetened iced tea. If they have pomegranate vodka, it's really delicious with a few lemon slices and club soda. When it's cold outside, I like whiskey or bourbon on the rocks with a splash of water.

Wine is usually only about 100 calories per glass and some beers like Amstel Light and Miller Light are about 95 calories.

Have fun!
