Low-Cal Mixology

Aug 11, 2009 by Tina Ruggiero

6a01053531eb10970c0120a53c746f970cIf you’re like me, you enjoy entertaining – and a few cocktails – but not at the expense of your waistline.  That said, I created a sensational drink that’s big on flavor and skinny on calories.

For more drink ideas and recipes, just [lightbox href=”http://youtu.be/sGXTuHIkEnM”]Click Here[/lightbox] to see my latest appearance on WFLA where I mix and blend some yummy, low-cal drinks.  Salute!

Makes 1 Cocktail
130 Calories

6a01053531eb10970c0120a53c75df970cIngredients:

½ oz. tequila
½ oz. citron vodka
3 oz. diet lemon-lime soda
1 ½ t. agave syrup

Directions:

Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker filled with ice and shake for 10 seconds.
Strain cocktail into a chilled, five-ounce martini glass.

Note:  To enhance drink presentation, rim the glass with sugar. To rim a glass, run a lemon wedge around the rim. Next, invert the glass and dip it into a plate of superfine sugar. This will only add about 16 calories to the cocktail.
