welcome back to ese live like most of us
in the new year the goal is to cut
calories but does that mean you can't
have a favorite little cocktail when the
Sun goes past the yardarm today to share
some skinny sips that have all the
flavor right yes that's right you don't
have to sacrifice flavor for your
calories so this is a great alternative
to some of those sugary super-sweet
cocktails because alcohol itself does
have a fair amount of calories in it but
then it's all the stuff that you've
added to it which is just gonna make
that explode with calories true and I
mean sometimes you can have a margarita
that's up to 500 calories let's go so
we're looking at like a Big Mac
basically yeah I didn't realize oh yes
so we're going to show you how to cut
those calories without sacrificing
flavor
all right first cocktail we're making is
we're going to do a perfect Paloma so if
anybody that likes grapefruit uh-huh I
know somebody here really loves
grapefruit this is super easy you're
just gonna do an ounce and a half of
tequila okay beautiful sure why not
there we go and then if we are going
very bare with the calories we want to
do fresca but I just chose a little bit
of sprite so you just want to splash
that in there okay gives it it yep
perfect and then you want to top it off
with some mineral water so to poach eco
works great so that way if you don't
like the taste of a diet soda you're
getting a little bit of that sweetness
from the sprite but not just filling it
up with sprite so have a nice little
fuzz fuzz to it it might be fun you can
squeeze a little lime in there so get a
little lime juice first okay I'll get
this here that's why I never barked in
all right there and then a beautiful
garnish there on the side there you go
oh that is your perfect Paloma you raw
need a straw yes
and so the grapefruit tequila comes in
at only 66 calories and two point four
carbs per ounce that is nice and nice
and it's light and refreshing it's not a
heavy and there's no heavy sweetness to
it at all exactly right it's a great
pool time drink something great for the
lake especially when you want to stay in
bikini shape okay good one all right
what
okay now we're gonna do a skinny
margarita this is super easy probably
easier than the Paloma you're gonna
start off with an ounce and a half of
your lime infused tequila the great
thing about this is it's also 66
calories and 2.4 carbs per ounce okay
beautiful go ahead and top her off with
some topo Chico and that's it and that
is it I'll just stir around a little I'm
sure if you want to add more lime but
the beauty is is that this is already
lime infused okay so say you get home
and you go oh darn it I forgot to buy
the limes not a problem as long as
you've got your soda and your dulce
beatle I'm Makela okay and the nice
distinct lime flavor yeah that's very
tasty also yes okay okay now right it's
very tasty we're gonna continue on with
the lime infuse now this one is gonna be
super cool we're gonna do it in fun
glass if you like Moscow mules we're
going to do a take on its heel mule and
a Moscow Mule traditionally vodka and
ginger beer for notes with lime juice so
this is going to be our lime infused
tequila all right one and a half ounces
again and then for the healthier take
we're gonna top it off with some ginger
kombucha come so kombucha is a fermented
tea which has like the tiniest tiniest
tiniest bit of alcohol is basically
untraceable give it a little bit of a
stir and this is going to cut your
calories tremendously as well because
ginger beer is fantastic but it is very
sweet oh you're looking to go ahead and
save yourself some calories there ginger
kombucha is another great way and it
doesn't have it because sometimes a
ginger beer really has kind of a almost
a bite to it sure and this is not as as
biting as absolutely and then the last
we're gonna do is what you just did with
us Mike that's called a ranch water
slowly fill you up with some ice this
might be the easiest one of them all and
this is just the plain tequila plain
tequila all right bar organic tequila
beautiful and top her off with mineral
water
oh squeeze of lime stir stir
and garnish that's it that's your
alternative to meet vodka sodas while
people love vodka sodas now tequila
sodas the new thing again all of those
drinks are nice and light and refreshing
and dolce vita
kela you can get it anywhere at most
major liquor stores absolutely okay yeah
