We prefer to waste most of our calories on food rather than drinks, but we also don’t want to skimp when it comes to consuming yummy cocktails.
With these guilt-free cocktail recipes, you can have your cocktails and eat all your food too! Here are nine recipes for delicious DIY guilt-free cocktails.
Sugar-Free Piña Coladas
Piña coladas are known for being jam-packed with sugar and calories, but not with this recipe. Pour 3 oz. of rum and combine it with some unsweetened coconut milk and sugar-free pineapple syrup to taste. Blend with ice to complete your recipe.
You’ll like this piña colada more than you like getting caught in the rain.
Mounds Bar Martini
This cocktail has only 112 calories and tastes like you’re eating a candy bar. Mix a packet of diet hot cocoa mix with 2 oz. of hot water. Then add in 2 oz. of cold water and pour this into a shaker that is halfway filled with crushed ice. Next, add in 3 oz. of vodka, 2 oz. of sugar-free coconut syrup, and two tablespoons of fat-free whip cream. Shake, strain and serve.
Whiskey Sour
Sour mix is packed with sugar, which means it’s also packed with calories. This alternative recipe uses one jigger each of water, lemon juice and bourbon. Top it with some artificial sweetener, pour over ice and you got yourself a whiskey sour.
Chocolate Mint Martini
The chocolate mint martini is truly divine and even more so at 145 calories. Get a tall glass to mix one packet of zero-calorie sweetener, one pack of hot cocoa mix, and 1/4 cup of hot water. Then add two tablespoons of fat-free whip cream and one tablespoon of light chocolate syrup.
Once that is mixed up well, you’ll want to throw in a jigger of vodka, two drops of peppermint extract, and 1/4 cup of cold water. Toss it in a shaker and strain into a glass. This recipe makes two drinks and tastes like your drinking a Girl Scout cookie.
Strawberry Daiquiri
Fruit naturally has sugar in it, so why add more with store-bought mixes? You can make your own daiquiris at home by cutting up strawberries, mixing it with a tablespoon of lime juice, 3 oz. of rum and blending it with ice.
Grape Pineapple Mint Fizz
Just the name of this drink makes you want to drink it, and it’s as good as it sounds! This recipe uses a can of pineapple juice mixed with two cups of club soda, a jigger of rum, and one cup of unsweetened grape juice. Top it off with some fresh mint leaves and you’re done.
Coconut Cream Pie Cocktail
Where else can you get a slice of pie for 145 calories? Probably only in this cocktail recipe. Mix 1 1/2 oz. of unsweetened coconut milk with 1/2 oz. of coconut rum, one drop of coconut extract, and 2 oz. of water until it is smooth.
Fill a shaker with ice and pour your mixture in. Strain it into a glass and top with some whip cream and coconut flakes if you want to get fancy.
