Simple & Delicious Low Calorie & Sugar Free Cocktail Recipes
When enjoying cocktails, it’s easy to unknowingly ingest more sugar and calories than intended. Sweet mixers, full-calorie sodas, or sugary juices are often added to liquor to make delicious cocktail drinks, but unfortunately that also means a lot of added calories.
Looking for some ideas for low-calorie and low-sugar cocktail recipes? We have you covered! True Citrus products are the perfect healthy alternative to sugary cocktail mixes.
Trying to cut back on drinking alcohol all together? Any of these recipes can be made as mocktails simply by adding sparkling water in place of booze.
The Best Low-Calorie Fruit Infused Cocktail Recipes
Peach Sage Vodka Lemonade
True Lemon Peach Lemonade
Fresh ginger
Fresh sage
Sparkling water
Absolut Pear Vodka (or plain vodka)
In a large container, combine sliced ginger with 2-3 sage leaves. Use the back of a wooden spoon to crush the leaves and ginger together. Add 2-3 packets of True Lemon Peach Lemonade, and about 4oz of pear vodka. Fill the rest of the container with sparkling water. Mix well, and serve with a garnish of fresh sage.
Fruit Infused Raspberry Margarita

Top with ice, cover with lid, and shake well. Serve in salt-rimmed glasses, over ice and garnished with fresh raspberries. Makes 2 servings.
