Living in the Gaslamp district in downtown San Diego - Cocktails are always on the menu! With a bachelors degree in nutrition and 10 years of experience in the weight loss industry - I've always known alcohol was high in calories. It wasn't until I turned 30 that the predicament became a real problem. But with every great dilemma comes a stellar solution…hence SkinnyTinis! Delicious, fun, intoxicating cocktails – all with 50% fewer calories – horary! The SkinnyTinis mission is to teach social drinkers how to create balance between their lifestyle and their weight management goals. SkinnyTinis truly is ALL THE FUN FOR HALF THE CALORIES!

October 23, 2009 4 O’clock Friday SkinnyTini Recipe

Here is the third and final Spooky SkinnyTini! What’s hilarious is that it’s not Halloween this weekend. He he. So next Friday you’ll be fully equipped with all three recipes AND an excellent tip to survive the weekend! Cheers!

Purple Passion Potion
1½ oz Vodka
½ oz Blue Curacao
2 oz Light Cranberry Juice
1 oz Diet Ginger Ale
150 Calories

Directions: Add juice and liquor to shaker with ice and shake for 5 - 10 seconds to chill and mix. Strain into a 5 oz martini glass, top off with ginger ale for a fizzy, fun affect and serve!

Added Info – yes, Blue Curacao is NOT a skinny liquor! It actually has 95 calories per ounce and is only 35% liquor. But it’s such a fun, fruity liquor that when balanced with the ultra low calorie cranberry and diet ginger ale, it still fits into the SkinnyTini parameter. You could substitute blue Gatorade and have a similar aesthetic affect, but the flavor will be slightly different, however your total calorie count would be only 105 calories! You might have to play with the proportions a bit to get the color right, but it is a great lower calorie alternative.

Happy Pre-Halloween Weekend everybody!

Enjoy and be safe!!
