Mmmm, I love cocktails...and champagne!
1The thought of a gin and tonic...
2Champagne for me.
3=D
Champagne to ring in the New Year!!!!
4Good, most of my favorite cocktails are lower in calories and carbs!
5I've been thinking about moving away from the heavy cocktails and drinking wine instead, so this info is definitely helpful. Pass me some champagne!
6woo hoo- my beloved white wine is low on the list!
7The calorie intake on these seems a little low....
8It depends on the size on some of those. Some margaritas (the big ones) can have up to 500 calories if you aren't careful. I usually stick with a vodka/diet soda mixer. It's pretty good and it's not too high in calories or carbs.
Light beer is also a pretty good option...most of them are 100ish calories per can/bottle.
9MY favorite cocktail ever is the LOWEST in calories? Yay!!
10Vodka tonics are my go-to drinks when I am dieting. Lower in calorie, but it only takes 1 or 2 until I am feeling, ahem, happy - it takes several beers to get me there.
