Happy Thursday pretty friends! Who is ready for a refreshing drink to kick off the weekend? Me! Me! Me! Today we will continue with my nutrition on the go Thursday series with this super easy, quick Grapefruit Spritzer. Now we all know alcohol is the furthest thing from being nutritious but we can make it a little less, well, bad for us. Often the worst part about a cocktail is how high in calories and processed sugars it contains. For example, your average Piña Colada contains has more calories than a Big Mac! Ouch!
This crisp drink uses Bai Sparkling Antioxidant Infusion Gimbi Pink Grapefruit. It only contains 5 calories, 11g sugar and 15 mg vitamin C. All you have to do is use 1 can of any Bai Sparkling Infusion, add your favorite alcohol {I went with rośe} and bam- you have yourself a delicious spritzer! Both vodka and rośe contain 60-70 calories {vodka shot vs. 8 ounce glass of rose} so you are looking at less than 100 calorie drink. And of course there is always the option of making this spritzer alcohol free which would make it a 5 calorie drink!
Don’t have time to make this pretty drink? Just grab a Bai Sparkling Antioxidant Infusion next time you want some soda! It’s a much healthier choice and the carbonation will satisfy your soda craving.
Ingredients
- 1/2 large grapefruit, sliced
- 3 ounces (6 Tbsp) vodka or rośe
- 1/2 cup Bai Sparkling Antioxidant Infusion Gimbi Pink Grapefruit
- 6-8 ice cubes
Instructions
- Add Bai Grapefruit Sparkling Infusion, vodka or rośe and 6-8 ice cubes to large glass and mix with spoon.
- Pour the cocktail mixture evenly into the two glasses. Top off with fresh slices of grapefruit. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
