It’s really no secret that cocktails often come with a high calorie content and lots of sugar. With all the cream in a piña colada, two cocktails can easily make a complete meal. But that doesn’t mean you have to give up delicious and refreshing drinks while keeping an eye on the calories. We have three for you almost healthy cocktails with few calorieswho don’t hit the hip like that.
Bloody Mary: The hearty vitamin boost with vodka
In general, of course, everyone should know: alcohol consumption is not healthy per se, it always depends on the amount that you consume.
A Bloody Mary is a real classic among healthy cocktails. Made with a blend of vodka and fresh tomato juice, it’s not only low in calories but also high in vitamins and minerals. Tomato juice provides valuable vitamin C, potassium and antioxidants that are good for your immune system. Which cocktail can say that about itself?
But that’s not all: the tangy note of the cocktail is achieved through the addition of fresh lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco and spices. This combination not only stimulates your sense of taste, but can also promote your digestion and boost your metabolism. Garnish the Bloody Mary with a stick of celery and a lemon slice for an extra freshness kick!

Gin & Tonic with cucumber: The refreshing thirst quencher
Gin & Tonic is a timeless classic that, with a simple twist, becomes a refreshing and low-calorie drink. Replace the lime slice in the drink with some thin cucumber slices and you will be surprised at how refreshing and delicious this drink can be. Cucumber contains a lot of water, which will keep you well hydrated. It also contains important nutrients such as vitamin K and potassium.
The tart note of the gin in combination with the refreshing cucumber makes this cocktail a perfect thirst quencher for warm days. Make sure to choose a quality gin and low-calorie tonic water to keep your calorie balance low.

Vodka Soda with citrus fruits: The sparkling power pack
Vodka soda is an easy, low-calorie choice for those who like it refreshing and light. Pimp this cocktail by adding fresh citrus! Squeeze the juice from the limes, lemons, and oranges and add to the vodka and soda. The citrus fruits are rich in vitamin C and contain many antioxidants that strengthen your immune system. They also give the drink a pleasant acidity and a fruity aroma. Use only a small amount of vodka and keep the soda to citrus ratio high to keep calories low. Garnish the cocktail with a lemon or lime wedge for the finishing touch.
Small reminder: As healthy as a Bloody Mary may seem to you, alcohol in large quantities is not good for you even with this selection!
