Sparkling Mango gives off the Peach Bellini cocktail feel with its champagne flute and fruit flavor. The real appeal lies within its ease of creation. Pop open a bottle of chilled Naked fruit smoothie juice and club soda and this cocktail practically makes itself. Best of all; no guilt in the calories. Naked Mighty Mango comes in at just 37.5 calories per 2 ounce serving. That’s all it takes for this cocktail. Club soda is a calorie freebie. Perfect on flavor. Fabulous for watching the curvy figure.
