Cocktails and summer go hand-in-hand, but the calories take out all of the fun. Empty calories at that, you’re sipping on something that contributes nothing nutritionally but demands more of you at the gym. It’s practically a lose-lose. Except that there are ways to make “skinnier” cocktails, those with lower calories thanks to fresh ingredients rather than mixers.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“Some of these calories can end up being 600 calories, like a pina colada\u2026 rum and coke, all this crap is way way up there,” said Jillian Michaels<\/a><\/strong> about the calorie counts in popular cocktails<\/a><\/strong>. “But when you use little teeny bits of splashes of flavor, or fresh juices, soda water, and healthier things\u2026the damage isn’t so bad.”<\/p>\n

“Nameless” Low-Calorie Summer Cocktail<\/a><\/strong> with vodka, cointreau, lemon, and mint. 120 calories<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sex on a Boat<\/a><\/strong> with silver tequila, grapefruit juice, lime juice, and muddled fresh jalapenos. 120 calories<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Grassy Day<\/a><\/strong> with grass-flavored vodka, grapefruit juice, rosay, and club soda. 130 calories<\/strong><\/p>\n

As Jillian mentioned, the calorie-cutting keys to these cocktails are fresh ingredients, like citrus juice, mint, and peppers. Pre-made mixers from the grocery store are loaded with calories from sugar, artificial sweeteners, as well as food dyes and artificial colors.
