So if you know me at all, you know that I love to entertain and I love to do so with cocktails. I don’t drink daily or weekly, so don’t worry, I don’t need that 12 step program. Remember, my addiction is food.
But if you are modifying your lifestyle like me, you also know that the dreaded cocktail can add on tons of empty calories that aren’t friendly to your waist line. And let’s be real, vodka sodas make me sad.
Well let me introduce you to be MIXED! Jen and Cristina created be MIXED out of a love for spending time with friends and a love for indulging in the good stuff. Jen is a Type 1 diabetic so she needed some better low calorie options for creating cocktails sans the vodka and soda option.
Be MIXED is all natural, zero calorie cocktail mixers that really add a pizazz to your rum punch. They currently offer three flavors: cucumber mint, ginger lime, and margarita. The really cool thing is that that they have a ton of recipes using all types of liquor as an option, so the “Skyy” really is not the limit. Options exist such as cucumber watermelon cooler, kiwi margarita, spiked blackberry lemonade, pineapple smash, lavender lemonade, and peach basil smash to name a few. Goodbye vodka soda!
For those of you on the Weight Watchers journey, most of these drinks can be made for 3 points each. (Just the points for the alcohol). Compare that to an Italian Margarita at Olive Garden (14 points)! You can thank me later!
Where to buy you ask? Online is the best option except for some locations. They have a store finder on their website. Good news, you can get it on Amazon Prime and with any luck they could add it to their Prime Now menu. I highly recommend trying all three flavors to see what you like best. Use the online recipe tool, choose your liquor of choice and your bartending expertise and Voila!
Cheers!
