So I decided to try making my own skinny lychee cocktail. Brian usually makes my cocktails for me, he's such a good bartender. He can think of any drink right on the spot. I just tell him what I'm in the mood for and he'll think up something very unique. I love it!
Well that night he was on an overnight shift (for those who don't know, Brian is an ER resident so his schedule is always very wacky) and decided I wanted a skinny cocktail. I read on a different blog that to help cut calories in a drink you could use water or soda water as a filler. I had heard of using soda water before but never water. So I decided to give it a try.
I thought the drink turned out great! The water helped dilute the alcohol taste a bit and I felt good knowing that I wasn't taking so many calories from adding too much juice, because we all know juice = liquid calories!
Try it out for yourself, let me know what you think!
Recipe:
1 1/2 shot vodka
1 shot water
3 generous splashes of lychee juice ( I used Ceres Lychee Juice for World Market. It's 100% natural pure fruit juice with no added cane sugar, colorants or preservatives.
Shake in a cocktail shaker
Pour into a chilled glass
Squeeze a lemon wedge in for added flavor and garnish your glass with one to make it look pretty.

P.S. The drink isn't actually green, it's just the glass.
