Ingredients

• Vodka—I used Grey Goose vodka for my drinks, but you can use whatever you prefer. A premium brand of vodka is key to ensuring the best flavor. 
• Club Soda – plain sparkling soda water works excellent and gives these skinny cocktail drinks a refreshing fizzy lift.
• Lime Slices – add some color and a little zing of citrus flavor. I love using a lime wheel for garnish or orange slices to brighten the drink. 
• Ice Cubes—This drink is best-enjoyed ice cold, so serve it over many ice cubes in a tall glass!

How to Make Skinny Bitch Cocktails

1. Chill a glass, then fill with ice cubes. You can use a highball glass or do like we did and serve it in a mason jar glass.
2. Pour in your vodka. 
   

   Feel free to use as much or as little vodka as you like to adjust the strength of this drink.

3. Cut a slice of lime and squeeze the juice into glass.
4. Top with club soda and stir.
5. Add another slice of lime for garnish. A garnish of mint leaf works well too. Cheers!

If you prefer, you can mix this Skinny Bitch drink in a cocktail shaker. Here’s a beautiful Lefonte Cocktail Shaker made of glass and stainless steel – this will look gorgeous on your bar. You could also use it to make festive Christmas Mimosas or this tasty Whiskey Champagne Cocktail.

And pair your drink with a bowl of Dark Chocolate Peppermint Popcorn for a tasty snack on the side!

Skinny Bitch Drink FAQs

Can I use bottled lime juice in this skinny b drink?

Use fresh lime juice, if you possibly can. Freshly squeezed lime juice is so much more flavorful than bottled lime juice.

Sure, you can use bottled in a pinch, but always try the real thing when making these easy refreshing drinks!

How do club soda and sparkling water differ?

Typically, drinks sold as “sparkling water” consist of naturally carbonated mineral water from springs or wells.

Club soda is very similar to sparkling water, but the manufacturer adds the carbonation and minerals rather than allowing them to occur naturally.

They function in essentially the same ways and can be used interchangeably, though some people notice differences in taste from brand to brand due to different mineral balances.

Some people also find that the soda has a slightly salty taste.

What is the lowest calorie cocktail?

This Skinny Bitch has a calorie count of approximately 100 calories per serving, and it doesn’t get much lower than that when it comes to skinny vodka drink recipes.

There’s no need to worry while you’re enjoying these body-conscious diet drinks! If you’re like me, they will become your favorite low-calorie cocktail because they’re refreshing and so easy to make. It may even become your go-to choice for casual gatherings.

What makes a cocktail skinny?

 

In general, you’ll want to keep some things in mind. For one, fewer ingredients typically means fewer calories. Drinks that are simple and subtle will typically be the “skinniest.”

For skinny mixers, opt for fresh fruit juices rather than processed juices that may have added sugars or other ingredients.

Use zero-calorie flavored seltzer or plain sparkling water for a refreshing and fizzy mixer that is calorie-free.

Popular Variations and Substitutions

Here are a few ways to change up this vodka soda. You can keep it as the recipe showcases, or you can change it up with one or more of these easy variations. 

• Flavored vodka is one easy ingredient that can change the overall taste of your drink. Use something citrus-y like lemon, lime, or grapefruit to go along with the lime, or try something like peach or raspberry to add some sweetness.
• You could even go with something like cucumber for a refreshing twist on this skinny concoction!
• Use a flavor that matches your vodka, or try mixing and matching to see what flavor combinations you can create when making your own skinny vodka cocktails!
• Take a piece of lime peel for an even more sophisticated presentation and give it a nice twist. Then rub it around the rim of your glass, squeeze it over the drink to express the oils, and pop it into the drink!
• For garnishing in this recipe, you can use fresh grapefruit, lemon wedge, slice of lemon, or other citrus fruit. I tend to do a lime wedge or lime wheel, but you can change it up. 
• These mason jar glasses are great for a summer afternoon libation, but if you want to up the sophistication level, serve your Skinny B drinks in these classy Godinger glasses!
• Add herbs for garnish, like a mint leaf.
• Add a splash of lemon juice.
• Flavored syrups of your choosing could be added for additional flavor.
