What is a nice low calorie alcoholic drink? No beer?
Answers:
vodka and a diet mixer
1 gram of alcohol has 7 calories
1 gram of fat has 9 calories
1 cram of carbs has 5 calories
here you can see that alcohol contains a lot of calories.
it is the alcohol in the drink that has the most calories so you wont get a really low calorie alcoholic drink until you reduce the amount of alcohol in it.
Rum & Diet Coke ~ ZERO CALORIES
You can't beat a vodka tonic with ice.
Pour a shot of Absolute Vodka over crushed ice
Squeeze in the juice and pulp from half a lime
Top up with diet Tonic Water
Add lime slice to garnish if desired
Enjoy!
Any spirit with a low cal mixer i.e Gin and low cal tonic
White wine spritzer (made with soda or diet lemonade.)
Beer
Try a nice Sake; Japanese rice wine. You can get it in flavors that are almost as varied as traditional wine. When looking for Sake I find that it is best not to over-spend. Some Saki comes from California and is about $6 a bottle, and this matches the quality of those from Japan that cost several times as much. The reason is the cost of importation. But realy, try Oseki. I believe its abround 75 cal a serving. I'm not big into dieting, so I can't say if you would consider that a lot or not. If you looking for sweeter tasting try a non-filter Saki. Probably higher in cals but worth it for the experience!
Everclear?
Diet Coke and Tequila
A glass of red wine
White wine and soda poured over ice!!!
VODKA SLIMLINE TONIC ice and lemon slice!
Gin and slimline tonic slice of lemon and lime! Very nice on a hot day like today.
Drink, Drink, Drink, I am sure there are many other spirits you can drink with a slimline tonic or soda without to much guilt.
The weight gaining effect of alcohol is not in the calories. Alcohol slows your metabolism down, so regardless of the calories, you will gain more weight as a drinker than as a non-drinker.
Vodka and water on ice with a lime.
Bacardi Light and Diet with lime. Not sure the calories, but we have it at the bar I work at. Bacardi is one of the best diet drinks anyway, so I'm sure the light would be even better!
definitely gin with slimline tonic a slice of lime and plenty of ice.
