Living Grand & Teenie: Low Calorie Cocktail & Drink Recipes
Low calorie living doesn’t mean giving up pleasure, taste or cocktail hour. What it does mean is better planning and thinking a little outside the box. In some cases fresh fruit rather than liqueur makes all the difference in the world regarding sugar content and it ups the flavor tremendously – win/win for you! Changing drinking patterns such as opting for low calorie champagne rather than the trendy calorie packed Cosmopolitan or Margarita is not only more glamorous in the glass, but lighter on the lips and hips. Take a little time to cruise through the listing of cocktails below to find a few new favorite recipes in a variety of spirit bases. This listing will be updated frequently, so check back from time to time.
Teenie-Eclipse – adapted by The Intoxicologist
Origination: Signature cocktail of Eclipse Bars – England
Original recipe for Eclipse found in Difford’s Guide 7
5 Fresh Raspberries
1/2 ounce DaVinci Raspberry Sugar Free Syrup
1 ounce Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey
1 ounce Ocean Spray Light Cranberry Juice
1/4 ounce Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice
Muddle raspberries and raspberry sugar free syrup together in bottom of mixing glass. Add Jack Daniel’s Whisky, cranberry, fresh lime juice and ice. Shake to blend and chill. Strain into a rocks glass with crushed ice. Garnish with bruised mint leaves and raspberry. Total calories: 86 Total Carbohydrates 3.15
This one really knocked my knickers off with its fabulous taste even ‘teenied’. Sure there is a little of the sugar free taste buried within, but the fruit flavor really kicks in and creates quite the tasty treat. At 86 calories and barely there carb count, I might bump up the Jack Daniels to 1-1/2 ounces and add on the extra 34.5 calories. That would give it just a fraction more whiskey flavor and still weigh in at just 120.5 calories.
