Hungry Girl: Cocktail Party

By: Lisa "Hungry Girl" Lillien

Who can resist a cocktail every now and then? And more importantly, who wants to? I've found new low-calorie, low-carb recipes and mixes, as well as advice for how to enjoy mixed drinks without packing on the pounds.

Baja Bob's Martini Mixes

Baja Bob is famous for his low-carb, sugar-free, low-cal cocktail mixes. I'm a big fan of his Martini Mix line. These 10-calories-per-serving mixers come in four flavors ‑- Cranberry Cosmo, Lemon Drop, Blue Raspberry and Sour Apple. The best of the bunch is the Blue Raspberry. Aside from tasting great, it's absolutely mesmerizing to look at! Find them on the Web at BajaBob.com.

Minute Maid Light Drinks

Mixing vodka and rum with juice can make them sickeningly sweet and annoyingly fattening. When mixing guilt-free cocktails, stick with low-cal fruity drinks, like Minute Maid Light's offerings. The Lemonade, Mango Tropical, Raspberry Passion and Guava Citrus flavors are all fantastic. And they make it possible to add taste to your cocktails without adding carbs or calories. Find them on the Web at MinuteMaid.com.

Torani Sugar-Free Syrups

Just a small amount of flavored syrup can add hundreds of calories to your cocktail. Sweetened with Splenda, Torani's sugar-free line is completely calorie free. My personal favorite flavors to use in mixed drinks are Peach, Black Cherry, Raspberry and Mango. Find them on the Web at Torani.com.
