Your last social engagement before Christmas is tonight -- thank goodness. Order up a couple of Glamour magazine's 5 Best Low-Calorie Cocktails and you'll transform that fattening 1,000-calorie buzz into a 200-calorie slim 'n trim evening:
Nice
Here's the gross-factor behind those naughty cocktails -- a Long Island Ice Tea, Mai Tai or Margarita all have more calories than a Big Mac (540 calories). Gulp.
Nice
- Bubbly -- four ounces of champagne -- not the champagne tower -- has only 85 calories, less than a beer or that four-ounce glass of red wine you'll probably spill on your host's white carpet. If you've got light carpet, Wine Away works wonders.
- Sour Apple Martini -- sour mix shaken with vodka and sour apple liqueur for only 160 calories.
- Vodka 'n Diet Lime Soda -- pour in a fancy glass with a wedge of lime to spice up this under 100-calorie beauty.
- A Small Mudslide -- this super-sweet 184 calorie dream is a much better choice than a white Russian (338 calories).
- Gin and Tonic -- refreshingly sexy, any host can mix up this 103 calorie-combo. Diet tonic means even less cals.
Here's the gross-factor behind those naughty cocktails -- a Long Island Ice Tea, Mai Tai or Margarita all have more calories than a Big Mac (540 calories). Gulp.
