Okay, so not quite a cocktail but that’s what they’re calling it in town. A vodka, sparkling mineral water and fresh lime.
It contains only 65 calories (assuming a 1 ounce shot) and vitamin C from the lime. It’s always a good idea to boost your Vitamin C whilst drinking as alcohol depletes this essential vitamin.
The sparkling mineral water also provides hydration. Alcohol dehydrates so drinking water alongside or indeed, within your drink is a smart move. This drink contains next to zero sugar, just 1g from the wedge of lime which is great news if you’re trying to maintain or achieve a lean physique and manage your blood sugar level.
So there you have it. Who said you have to give up your social life whilst following a healthy lifestyle? As with all things, moderation is key though. If you choose to drink alcohol, always drink in moderation.
