There's nothing like an icy low calorie cocktail to cool you down, especially since typical mixed drinks can clock in at 200 to 600 calories, leaving no room for bar snacks or finger foods. Fear not, all of you buffalo chicken wing lovers of the world. The following low calorie cocktails all weigh in below 150 calories without sacrificing any flavor. Who's ready to head home to host your own happy hour? After all, it's 5 o'clock somewhere!
Watermelon and Champagne Cocktail
There are only three ingredients in this light and fresh drink — puréed watermelon, a splash of lime and your favorite bubbly. At just 100 calories, it’s a glass we’re sure you’ll be sipping on all summer long. (via That’s So Michelle)
Skinny Blueberry Spritzer
With so much sweet fruity flavor, you might be surprised that this spritzer is 117 calories. To keep the count low, make yours with all-natural blueberry juice, fresh squeezed lime juice and champagne. (via Peanut Butter and Peppers)
Celery Cilantro Cocktail
This herby drink is the kind of cocktail you'd find at the spa — if spas served cocktails, that is. The Absolut Citrón is mixed with a muddled blend of celery, cilantro and lime, which brings one glass to only 135 calories. (via Skinnytaste)
Lime Margarita
It's no secret that those bottled margarita mixers can be overly sweet, overly sugar-filled and overly heavy on calories. So this summer, skip the bottles and blend your own cocktail with only fresh lime, orange juice and tequila. It'll take your margarita from 400-plus calories down to just 93! (via Peanut Butter and Peppers)
Raspberry Pomegranate Lemonade
Thanks to flavored vodkas, like Smirnoff's Raspberry Pomegranate Sorbet, all you need to make a 93 calorie cocktail is a bottle of your favorite lemonade and a shot or two of the good stuff (that's the vodka). (via Tammilee Tips)
Raspberry Mint Mojitos
We love a cocktail that's as pretty as it is delicious. And this muddled raspberry and mint mojito is exactly that. You won't be able to have just one glass of this refreshingly fruity drink, but that's okay because it's only 117 calories! (via Eat Yourself Skinny)
Orange Crush
No matter what recipe you're following, you can't make a Crush with bottled up juices. So it goes without saying that this skinny version calls for fresh squeezed oranges. Add vodka, triple sec and seltzer for fizz, and you've got yourself one citrusy-sweet 108 calorie drink. (via Chef Savvy)
Skinnygirl Cucumber Refresher
When you use low-calorie alcohol, like the Skinnygirl Cucumber Vodka this recipe calls for, you instantly save yourself a few minutes at the gym. Pair the vodka with no-calorie soda water, fresh herbs like mint and basil, a splash of lime juice and agave nectar instead of sugar for this cool-down sipper. Calorie count: 86. (via You Beauty)
Lemon Square Martini
Martinis can be surprisingly high in calorie count, but not this version. Even though it's as tart and sweet as a lemon square dessert, the vodka-based martini only comes in at 113 calories. (via Slim Pickin's Kitchen)
