| The celebration continues! Happy Friday! |
1 shot (1 oz.) Smirnoff Lime Vodka (64 cal/zero carbs)
1/2 shot Gin (32 cal/zero carbs)
1/4 shot Sour Apple Liqueur (18 cal/1.9 carbs)
2 shots Santa Cruz Organic Strawberry-Lemonade (sweetened with evaporated cane juice: 10 times less processed than refined sugar!) (22.5 calories/5.75 carbs)
2 shots Simply Grapefruit Juice (100% real juice! No added sugars.)(22.5 cal/5.2 carbs)
1 shot Water (optional)
Sour Apple Liqueur has 72 calories per one ounce shot! Wow.
And most cocktails require a full ounce. But, here, with only 1/4 oz. we will
reduce that to only 18 calories without sacrificing flavor. Carbs = 7.5 per oz. so ¼ oz. = only 1.9 carbs.
Our totals:
Liquor = 114 calories
Mixers = 45 calories...... Total Calories = 159
Carbohydrates:
Liquor = 1.9 carbs
Mixers = 10.95............. Total Carbs = 12.85
So it's not really a super duper low carb cocktail. But when compared to the original Fuzzy Navel with, on average 275 - 300 calories per serving; and 37 to 50 carbs on average... well, it's a pretty good savings. Especially if you have more than one. And who can have just one? Again, I ask you, who can have just one?
Happy Weekend Everybody!
