The Low Cal Buzz

As anyone knows, college is a cesspool of unhealthiness. There’s the lack of sleep, the surplus of late-night eating and, of course, the dreaded alcohol.

Fortunately, for all you weight watchers out there, there are some simple and tasty low-cal cocktails that everyone can love without fearing the love handles.

Cherry Pom-arita — A measly 105 calories!

Ingredients:

1.5 oz. tequila

4 oz. Diet 7UP (or another diet lemon-lime soda)

1 tbsp. fresh lime juice

1/2 packet Crystal Light On The Go Immunity Cherry Pomegranate drink mix

ice cubes (for serving)

Directions:

Place tequila, soda and lime juice in a glass. Empty half of the flavor packet into glass, and stir well to combine. Pour over ice and enjoy! (Note: If you don’t like the Pom flavor, try any Crystal Light powder. They are all super delicious.)

Razzle-Tini — 75 Calories

Ingredients:

4 oz. 7-Up Plus Soda

1 oz. Sugar Free Raspberry Torani Syrup

1 oz. vodka

Directions:

Shake with ice. Pour into cute martini glass. Down it.

Or simply go with an old favorite:

The Mojito — Only 132 calories!

Ingredients:

1.5 oz. rum

1/2 oz. lime juice

2 tsp. sugar (you can cut even more calories by using Splenda!)

Crushed mint

Ice

Directions:

Mash the mint, add the rum, lime juice and sugar, shake and pour over ice. Mmmm mmm.

If all else fails, there is always Bacardi and Diet (90 calories) or light beer (Amstel Light only has 90 calories!). Or, take some shots. Only 120 calories each.

Happy drinking!
