Oh and a lot of bars do have the flavored vodkas!

My favorite summer drink is any flavored vodka with Fresca or a personal favorite is Raspberry or Peach Vodka with Iced Tea! Delightful! Great article! Thanks!

I have been trying to find drinks that are low cal for awhile. One of my favorites that I just came up with myself is vodka or rum with Diet Rite Black Cherry or Raspberry Soda. It fruity with a fizz. Not sure how many calories are in a shot of rum or vodka but this has to be less than most other drinks. Only bad thing is you don’t find this option at any bar or bar/restraunt that I know of.

You are absolutely right and BTW, a margarita is tequila, triple sec and lime juice. It’s only when you use margarita mix that you get a high number of calories. Kind of like if you slice a potato and bake the slices in the oven with olive oil, you have potato chips with little fat and calories. But, buy potato chips in a bag and you get fat and calories. My guess is every drink is high in calories if you make it with store mix.

We found a yummy alternative: Try tequila with lime juice instead of margerita mix. Add a splash of club soda if you want a little fizz.. We use the frozen concentrate but I did find a store recently that had it next to the fresh orange juice. Cheers!
