They say summer bodies are made in the winter. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t enjoy yourself, it is nearly Christmas!

Here are our top 5 ‘skinny cocktails’ – all tasty and well under 200 calories:

#1. Mojito

The classic mojito recipe has been tainted with a heavy reliance on too much sugar or high calorie pre made mixes.

The original recipe consists of  rum, mint, soda water, lime, and just a tiny touch of sugar. Any trusted bartender will make you a ‘skinny’ mojito (be sure to ask for just a touch of sugar) resulting in a tasty drink that fall well under 150 calories.

#2. Margarita
A margarita is always a low-cal and refreshing cocktail. The classic margarita recipe consists of tequila, lime juice, and a tiny bit of agave syrup or Cointreau. If you’re worried that the bartender may create a sugary mix, don’t be afraid to ask them to use fresh lime juice and a splash of simple syrup instead.

#3. Cosmopolitan
The Sex and the City girls definitely knew what they were doing ordering cosmopolitans. Made from lime juice, vodka, and a splash of cranberry juice, a cosmopolitan barely reaches the 150-calorie mark.

#4. Old Fashioned
One of the earliest recorded cocktails, this 200-year-old bourbon drink is now a classic, and for good reason — there aren’t a lot of ingredients getting in the way. A low-calorie drink to ensure to you enjoy your night, whilst also sticking to your summer body diet!

#5. Gimlet
Whether you choose vodka, gin, or tequila, a gimlet is a simple and straightforward choice for those wishing to reduce calories. The basic recipe is gin, mixed with lime juice, served up in a martini glass. Spice up your choice by ordering a cucumber or basil gimlet.
