Low Calorie Cocktails

Low calorie cocktails are mostly made with gin, vodka and tequila, however you have to be carefull about what you mix the above mentioned spirits with. Best would be Martinis, gin or vodka or you can go for Vespa which is three parts gin one part vodka with lemon twist. Cosmopolitan can also be low in calories if it’s mixed with white cranberry juice instead of red.

Here are a few other suggestions:
