I love Crystal Light-you can have pretty much any flavor drink for only 5 calories plus the liquor (around 80 calories per ounce of either rum, tequila or vodka)-the mojito & marguarita kinds are great-I just wish they were sold all the time! The lemonade & raspberry lemonade taste great too

I LOVE Coconut rum and club soda. I think that Malibu has about 60 cals/oz and Club soda has no Calories or very little. It is super refreshing and a nice light drink.

I couldn’t agree more with Shelley & Bri!! If “Thor” is against NEVER drinking while dieting why is he on this site looking for low calorie cocktails? All work and no play can burn a person out and that will definitely “tax your system” and “fight the progress”. People that get burned out on dieting and exercising quit and that’s a fact.

I’m not in a weight-loss program myself, but I am planning a surprise birthday party for my best friend who is on Weight-Watchers. I stumbled across this while searching for lower-calorie drinks to serve. I have heard from several personal trainers that vodka (plain, of course) has, on average, fewer calories than other spirits (rye/gin/tequila/etc). If that’s the case, you should try my regular beverage: plain vodka (I prefer Stoli or Grey Goose) and Sprite Zero. Light, refreshing, fizzy. For fun, you can add a splash of OJ (pure, not the sugary stuff) or drop in a frew frozen berries for colour.

No offence, but for those people who keep saying ‘never drink’, that isn’t really the purpose of this webpage haha! Looks like drinking less will be a start though, sadly! Mind you, with all that extra energy you can burn off the extra calories through climbing buildings, defacing Conservative (UK) bilboards, and chasing squirrels etc.

I enjoy Gin and Diet Tonic (less calories than wine)

1 or 1/2 jigger of gin “Gordons” or your favorite
1 whole lime – juiced
fill glass with ice
then top with ‘diet’ tonic

Delicious and Refreshing.

This article is great. I know my comment may never be read but I feel like I must voice my opinion…I find nothing more irritating than when someone says “if you are losing weight you shouldnt drink, you shouldnt do this or that”. These people are clearly aware that careless consumption of ANY beverage is detrimental to their diet so they are being proactive, planning ahead and trying to find the best option with out completely cheating themselves of something they want, regardless of what it is.

My point: Answer the question and please do not harp on people who are trying to lose weight, and please do not lecture them on how to do it. They are aware that what they are doing is not beneficial to their weight-loss regimen however they are just simply trying to limit the effects by choosing drinks that are the lesser of the two evils. Please…cut them some slack.

I’ve been on Weight Watchers now for 4 months and have lost 20 lbs. I love my vodka and tonic so I have started using diet tonic with the vodka. I now found a low calorie vodka called Voli, suppose to have less the calories in regular vodka and it’s good.
