If you are monitoring your weight or trying to find a lower calorie alternative to beer or sugary cocktails, then you can make your own alcoholic drinks. Vodka is a good choice for use in low-calorie alcoholic cocktails. A shot of vodka contains only 56 calories and is completely free of fats or carbohydrates, making it a favorite ingredient for those looking to lose weight. Although vodka itself is low in calories, some cocktails based on it can be quite high in calories. It all depends on what you mix the vodka with. In this article, you will find some great low-calorie shake options.

Steps

Method 1 of 4: How to Make a Vodka, Soda, and Mio Cocktail

The calorie content of this cocktail is determined exclusively by the vodka itself, since the Mio drink contains no calories at all. A common mistake among vodka drinkers is ordering it with a tonic, as while tonic has a refreshing effect, some types contain 124 calories, 32.2 grams of carbohydrates and 44 milligrams of sodium per 340 ml of drink. Diet tonic can contain 0 calories, and some premium tonics contain less sugar. Mio, on the other hand, is just sparkling water with some extra minerals. It contains no calories or carbohydrates or sodium, yet it has a clean, refreshing tonic flavor.

1. 1 Pour one shot of vodka into a 225ml glass filled with ice.
2. 2Pour soda water into a glass (it is recommended to use a freshly opened soda bottle so that there are more gas bubbles in it)
3. 3 Add your favorite type of Mio to the glass to your liking, depending on your preference. If you are not a big connoisseur of the Mio drink and do not know the assortment, then first try grape, mango or peach flavors. They go well with vodka and perfectly set off its taste.
4. 4 Stir well and garnish with a fresh slice of lemon, lime, or a sprig of fresh mint.

Method 2 of 4: Vodka Shake with Crystal Light Drink and Lime

Crystal Light is a low-calorie drink, although it contains 5 calories and 10 milligrams of sodium. Therefore, using Crystal Light in combination with vodka, you can get a wonderful low-calorie cocktail. Because Crystal Light offers a wide range of different flavors, you have the opportunity to create a variety of cocktails by experimenting and tasting them, and you will be able to please the tastes of even the most fastidious guests at your party. According to connoisseurs, the unconditional and reliable favorites are the orange, strawberry and lemon aromas of Crystal Light, as well as the aroma called raspberry ice.

1. 1 Mix your favorite type of Crystal Light in a jug by adding cold water according to package directions and refrigerate for a few hours.
2. 2 Pour one glass of vodka (you can replace regular flavored vodka, after checking its calorie content) into a 225 ml glass with ice.
3. 3 Add chilled Crystal Light and stir.
4. 4 Cut the lime into several large wedges and squeeze the juice into your drink. Stir and savor the subtle, exquisite taste of the cocktail.

Method 3 of 4: Vodka, Mango, and Martini Shake

A standard mango-flavored martini contains 110 to 180 calories. Since most of the calorie content of the drink comes from the mango juice contained in it, then you can use pure martini and choose the lowest calorie mango juice or its concentrate.

1. 1Pour 110ml Fruit 20 Essentials Peach Mango (or other low calorie and low sugar mango juice) into a chilled martini shaker
2. 2 Add 45 ml of vodka, followed by some pineapple juice, orange juice and lime juice.
3. 3 Place a slice of peeled cucumber in a shaker and shake it.
4. 4 Shake the martini shaker well, then strain and pour into chilled glasses with ice.

Method 4 of 4: Alternative Cocktail Vodka with Cranberries

Many health enthusiasts who love to indulge in cocktails from time to time choose to pair vodka with healthy juices that contain antioxidants, the most famous of which is cranberry juice. And although cranberries are known for their beneficial effects on the human body, cranberry juice contains a lot of sugar (which means it has a high calorie content and a fairly high carbohydrate content). Fortunately, there is now a low-calorie version of cranberry juice on the market that contains less sugar, so you can make a fairly calorie-friendly cocktail with vodka and cranberry juice for just 100 calories instead of 170.

1. 1 Place a bottle of sugar-free cranberry juice in the refrigerator for a few hours.
2. 2 Pour 43 grams of vodka into a 225 ml glass filled with ice.
3. 3 Add chilled cranberry juice and garnish with a wedge of lime.
4. 4 You can diversify your cocktail by adding soda instead of half of the juice, the bubbles of which will activate and revitalize the drink.

Tips

• It is recommended that you eat a well-balanced, healthy diet before drinking cocktails.
• The more alcohol you add to the drink, the higher the calorie content. The lowest calorie content is possessed by 40-degree vodka (47 and 50-degree versions are higher in calories). Mix only one shot per cocktail serving.
• The lemon-flavored Crystal Light with a glass of tequila produces a wonderful 105 calorie Margarita.
• Drink a glass of water between two shakes to stay hydrated and not too drunk.
• On a hot summer day, there is nothing better than vodka with a dietary tonic. Fill a large glass with ice cubes, add a shot of vodka, fill with diet tonic, and garnish with a slice of lime.
• It is recommended to eat cocktails with low-calorie foods that absorb alcohol and do not allow you to get very drunk.For example, you can use raw, chopped vegetables, pita bread, hummus, or roasted almonds as a snack.

Warnings

• Alcohol and diet are incompatible concepts. In the book "How not to gain weight" Jan Marber recommends abstaining from alcohol during a diet, since the low calorie content of some alcoholic beverages, unfortunately, is compensated by an increase in appetite and an ineradicable desire to satisfy hunger with high-carbohydrate, salty and fatty foods, and also causes the need for caffeinated drinks. In addition, alcohol causes decreased sleep quality, fatigue and therefore can impair your overall ability to adhere to a weight loss program.
• This is quite obvious, but still worth reminding - never drive after drinking alcohol.
