I have already made the switch from white to red wine, which wipes out about 5 extra calories per ounce. For those who need a bit more, instead of a lemon drop or apple martini, go ahead and order (or serve) the Pomegranate Martini! A 5oz mix is around 140 calories. I take those extra 40 calories and remind myself that this drink is packed with antioxidants and nutrients. I always use POM juice, because it contains no sugar, no preservatives, gluten-free and kosher and it just tastes amazing!
POM-tini
If you're making them one at a time or serving up a big batch as your signature drink, you can't go wrong!
1 part Vodka
4 parts POM Pomegranate juice
Squeeze of lemon juice
Pomegranate Seeds (for presentation)
Some other vodka drinks that can be guilt-free are:
Vodka and Sugar Free Red Bull - 85 Calories
- I try and only have one or two of these, then move onto a Vodka Soda or Vodka Water
Vodka Soda - 80 Calories
and perhaps the healthiest vodka drink ever created:
Vodka Water - 65 Calories (I use about half a lime in this one)
Love it! and wow, those things are just so pretty. Not easy to get hold of around here sadly. A. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I think they are out of season now, but you should be able to by pomegranate juice at any grocery store! POM brand also makes seeds you can buy :)
