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 cocktails!
How do club soda and sparkling water differ?
Typically, drinks sold as “sparkling water” consist of water that is naturally carbonated mineral water that comes from springs or wells.
Club soda is very similar to sparkling water, but the carbonation and minerals are added by the manufacturer rather than occurring naturally.
They function in essentially the same ways and can be use interchangeably, though some people notice difference in taste from brand to brand due to different balances of minerals. Some people also find that club soda has a slightly salty taste.
What is the lowest calorie cocktail?
This Skinny Bitch Cocktail has approximately 100 calories, and it doesn’t get much lower than that when it comes to skinny vodka drink recipes. No need to worry while you’re enjoying these body conscious diet cocktails!
What makes a cocktail skinny?
Under 100 calories and so very refreshing, make this Skinny Bitch recipe for happy hour.
In general, you’ll want to keep a couple of 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 as opposed to processed juices that may have added sugars or other ingredients. Use zero-calorie flavored seltzer or plain sparkling water or club soda for a refreshing and fizzy mixer that won’t add on too many calories.
Popular Variations and Substitutions
- Flavored vodka is one easy ingredient that can change the overall taste of your cocktail. 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 cocktail!
- Likewise, using a flavored club soda is a great way to add some extra flavor and really make this cocktail your own.
- Use a flavor that matches with your vodka or try to mix and match to see what flavor combinations you can create making your own skinny vodka cocktails!
