A few years ago, when I started this blog, one of my first posts was about frou-frou summertime drinks, and how to make fancy margaritas. The recipe was simple: get a fancy-schmancy flavor of kids drink mix like Kool-Aid, make the recipe to your level of sweetness, and add tequila and ice. (Or rum and ice if you want a daiquiri.)
Yum. And simple. (Just don’t let the kids drink the wrong Kool-Aid.)
So this year, I’m sharing another summah-time cooler recipe that I’ve come to rely on–and the best part is that it’s low-cal. Very low cal.
I take a shot or two of flavored vodka (my preference is Absolut’s Ruby Red Grapefruit), then I add no- or low-calorie sweetner (I like SunCrystals) to taste, ice, sparkling water, and a smidge of tonic water (diet). Very light, very fresh, very low-cal.
Do you have a favorite simple summertime drink? Share the recipe!
