Is It Worth the Splurge? Cut Down Cocktail Calories
Nix the High-Calorie Mixers
Nix the High-Calorie Mixers

An easy way to cut down on your drink calories is to use low-calorie or zero-calorie mixers. Using Diet Coke instead of Classic in your rum and Coke will save you 61 calories. Don't forget to ask for diet tonic or soda water. Regular tonic has as many calories as a can of Coca-Cola. If you like fruit juice, order your drink with soda water and a splash of your favorite juice to save 50 or 60 calories.
