Setting The Bar

When you set out for bar hang out, your diet can be derailed or can change your mood if you're going to down cocktails.
One helpful tip;-take a glass of water when you arrive so you don't end up taking your first cocktail drink because you're thirsty.
Then, you may consider these low-calorie favorite pointers for those who are concern about their diets:

  • Order diet Sprite with tequila and a wedge of lime instead of Margarita. An alcohol shot is somewhere around 100 calories.

  • Order vanilla vodka with diet Coke instead of rum and Coke. Flavored vodkas offer lot of flavor without the additional calories.

  • Order orange vodka with club soda and a splash of cranberry, or a blueberry vodka with club soda and a splash of pineapple instead of cosmopolitan.

  • Order vodka with diet tonic if it's available instead of vodka tonic. Tonic actually has many calories as regular soda.

  • Order one fruit-flavored Crystal Light packet with tequila or vodka and club soda instead of any sugary cocktail such as mojito or a flavored martini.

  • Order 1 tablespoon of amaretto or whiskey in your coffee instead of an after-dinner drink like Bailey's or Kahlua and cream.
