I enjoy a good cocktail or two on the weekends. The problem with these cocktails is the amount of calories and sugar typically involved. What's a girl to do? Thankfully there are more options coming out for women looking for low-cal, low-carb options when drinking. I am a HUGE fan of SkinnyGirl Cucumber Vodka. I pair it with sprite (or diet sprite, if you like) or club soda and lime. You could also muddle some cucumber in there, too. I'm usually too lazy to do this.
I'm a vodka fan, which, in terms of alcohol, isn't a bad choice. I don't drink beer because...gross. I am becoming more of a fan of wine, but only the sweeter kinds like riesling and moscato. However, the added sugar in these varieties goes against the point of low-cal, low-carb.
Here's an article from Weight Watchers to help you make your next bar selection: http://www.weightwatchers.com/util/art/index_art.aspx?tabnum=1&art_id=56111. Let's hope I can remember this "good" vs. "bad" list on next weekend's trip to Vegas!
