there's nothing like a cooling cocktail
on a hot summer evening but those liquid
calories can wreak havoc on your
waistline it could be really noticeable
during swimsuit season so Jodie is here
to give summer cocktails a makeover and
you have slashed the caloric intake
big-time how I'm very proud of myself
here I took cocktail right yeah but none
of these cocktails I'm going to show you
four different drinks they're 65
calories or under okay and so the reason
that the calories are gone is because
all of the mixers everything that's
added in we're not adding calories to
the drinks you can still get that
sweetness in that flavor so I've done
four different drinks they are sweeter
okay but like if you don't like sweet
drinks do you like sweet drinks no okay
all right so you don't have to sample
them today if you don't want to Walter
oh he's gonna get in there so the first
one that I've made and I made a little
recipe cheat sheet here but is the
famous mimosa everybody loves them a
mosa at brunch that's over here yes so
if you use Prosecco even for 4 ounces of
Prosecco is only around 70 calories so
we're gonna use 2 ounces and that's that
first drink there so feel free to taste
it we've got two ounces of Prosecco and
then instead of orange juice I've used
buy orange is that Valencia orange
flavor what do you think of the
sweetness well it's a nice refreshing
drink that you could have it brunch
won't be my first choice on the menu but
50 calories so you do have 4 of those
for about the same calories that you
would get in a normal one and then also
if you like it really sweet you can put
in stevia drops if you look at those
little drops right in the front it's
very concentrated sweetness so all the
sweeteners here are either monk fruit or
stevia which are not artificial comes
from natural plants okay so there's your
mimosa this and then the second will get
you know I made it so fancy so the
second drink is at the Pina Colada
that's what we're here yep so that's the
Pina Colada now this one typically
served frozen can clock in around 700
calories it's devastating if you drink
you know the frozen slushy pina colada
so instead of that what I've done here
is just some ice in a glass two to three
if you like it really sweet you're gonna
want to add the stevia coconut
and then we use coconut rum which is
really good because it adds a little bit
of that coconut infusion 3 ounces of the
buy pineapple coconut this one to me is
very sweet so a heads-up warning but
pina coladas are super sweet so what do
you think about that like if you have a
sweet words of my own lovely lady she
said oh it's you if you like I don't
like being a carnist but that was tasty
yeah not bad okay so the next one is a
vanilla vodka with ginger ale this one's
super easy you just go buy some vanilla
vodka one thing I want to point out is
we're using an ounce you go ahead and
taste that one this says ginger root
beer it's ginger root beer buys FeO
which is my favorite zero calorie soda
nothing artificial in it but make sure
you measure okay I have my Jodie shot
glass that I know right up to the J is
one ounce okay so that's what you want
to put in there one ounce Boop and then
you can add as much mixer as you want
because there's no calories in that
about forty seconds left what did you
think of the vanilla I liked it I mean
none of this is standing out to me like
okay so we're gonna quickly make a
mojito
why don't you muddle the mint I've got a
mortar and pestle you don't have to but
when you crush up the mint it releases
the flavor and with this one we're gonna
use straight-up regular rum and whenever
you feel like the mints ready you can go
ahead and pour it in there and depending
on how sweet you like it we're gonna put
some coconut stevia drops in here again
no calories so maybe we add two or three
and then we'll top it off with the
Lacroix Lacroix lime no they say that
it's look what you do okay and then
fresh lime so we want to get a nice nice
big squeeze you got to get the fresh
lime going in there there it is so now
you've got a mojito without any sugar
any sweetener how many calories is that
bad boy 65 calories that's it where can
