Why should those searching for low calorie options have to skip out on the fun of cocktails? As it turns out, a low calorie soda can help you mix up concoctions that leave you feeling refreshed rather than bloated. For this Low Calorie Honey Whiskey Cocktail, we relish in the delicate and sweet flavor of Green Bee Ginger Buzz Honey Soda. This mixer uses honey to naturally sweeten the soda and packs a slight bite from the ginger. When you combine it with Dubliner Honeycomb Irish Whiskey and a bit of lime juice, you get a complex but delicious flavor profile.
What Makes a Cocktail Low Calorie?
While low calorie goals can vary depending on your weight, diet, and lifestyle, it is often thought that low calorie means less than 200. You may think that would be impossible when ordering a drink or mixing one at home. But, with a little caution, you can relax and indulge in something enjoyable without the stress of unhealthy consequences. Low calorie cocktails can also come in handy when you’re enjoying a huge Thanksgiving or Christmas meal. This way you can save your calories for the dinner ahead rather than using them up on one glassful.
