It’s the age old problem; how does one diet and lose weight yet still be able to enjoy some beverages for those who are over 21? The definition of “some beverages” may vary greatly for some people. I digress. While the Skinny Girl Margarita have gained a lot of fans, I never really caught on. First, tequila turns some of us into the Exorcist. For those of you who need a reminder click here..... As far as the Skinny Girl wine, it makes a bathroom with the door closed for days complete with a kitty litter box, in the summer, with no A/C seem more appealing. So here are some alternatives to keep you sane while dieting:
The Wannabe Creamsicle-
Whipped cream vodka (Pinnacle vodka usually does the trick)
Diet Orange Canadian Dry (if you can’t find this you can go with diet orange soda or diet crush)
Add Ice and go.
*Caution these taste unreal, you’ll drink them fast!
Desperate for Chocolate Martini -
Chocolate flavored vodka (I've only tried UV chocolate vodka)
Skim Milk
Just a touch of Hershey's chocolate syrup
Shake well and serve.
As an alternative you can drink the chocolate vodka on the rocks, add water to increase volume. It tastes like you're drinking Godiva liqueur.
*Caution these are also really taste and you’ll drink them as fast as you'd eat a piece of chocolate cake!
The "Ugh I Have to Get In a Bathing Suit" -
Malibu rum
Fresca
A splash of pineapple juice
Add an orange on the top of the glass and serve. Don't forget the umbrella.
*Caution not only will these go down fast, but you might actually think you're on vacation from your diet.
The Lululemonade -
Cake vodka (ThreeOlives, Pinnacle or UV have all worked in the past)
Crystal Light pink lemonade mix
Add ice and serve at your favorate BBQ
*Caution limit yourself to 2.
These are the best I've heard of and discovered as of yet. I'm hopeful with all the new flavored vodkas there will be more recipes to share.
