[Guest SSGLuceyGirl]

Does anyone happen to have any? Hubby is due home from deployment and we have a lot of making up to do? LOL! So I would love to find some good recipes especially when we have get togethers, friends overs, and/or football season!

 

Thanks in advance .. Hugs to everyone - Mel :bcbsalute

I love the Bacardi Light Line. My favorite is the Berry Rum. I mix 2 oz. with diet sprite. Yummy. One point too. You cant go wrong

Has anyone tried the hungrygirl.com 100 calorie margarita recipe? I had them last weekend, and I was very impressed!

 

 

HG's Magical 100-Calorie Margarita

 

Ingredients:

6 oz. Sierra Mist Free (or Sprite Zero, or your other fave no-cal lemon-lime soda)

*1 shot of tequila (1.5 oz.)

1 packet **Crystal Light on the Go Lemonade (you may use 1/2 of the packet if you don't want your drink as intensely sweet)

2 tbsp. lime juice from concentrate (or fresh-squeezed lime juice)

 

Directions:

Mix all ingredients together. Pour over 1 cup of crushed ice. Enjoy.

 

*You can also make your margarita alcohol-free. This recipe, without tequila, contains just 10 calories (5 calories if you use only half of the Crystal Light packet).

 

**1 tsp. Crystal Light Lemonade drink mix may be substituted.

How much is one shot?

 

Just get a regular shot glass out, fill it and pour it in the Diet Dr. Pepper?

 

It sounds really good. I like wine but wine has loads of points in it!

Im a rum drinker. The rum I drink is two points for a shot. Where do you find this Bacardi Light Line? Is it with the regular Bacardi or the flavored rums?

 

Do they make Vanilla? I love vanilla flavored rum (I use the Cruzan brand) mixed with Diet cherry vanilla Dr. Pepper. I'd love to find a "lite" rum!

[Guest j621d]

The HG 100 calorie Margarita is pretty even if you make some dumb errors in making it:

 

 

I used Vodka, 'cause I didn't have tequila

Used the wrong Crystal light (lemon flavored tea - it looked like lemonade!)

 

I crushed ice in my blender and followed the directions with my blunders. It tasted pretty good! Or it proves I will drink any old thing.

Does anyone know of a wine that is low in calories and in points? I'm a wine drinker and it's really hard to eat and drink too! I would be a happy camper if I could find a wine that is low in points. Also would be interested in some more low point alcoholic recipes!

[Guest TweetyCrazy]

Anymore SLUSH recipes to share?

[newone 10]

Hmm..I thought a 4 oz glass of wine is 2 pts. Am I incorrect with this? That may be why I gained weight before Thanksgiving. I had wine that previous weekend. I was counting 1 glass as 8 ounces; therefore, 4 points. Clarificiation please!!

[LittleKline 10]

Heres a great site that lists the point values of alcohol:

 

http://www.recipecircus.com/recipes/awsum34/TIDBITS---You-Need-To-Know/Beer.html

 

A whole bottle of wine is typically 10 pts...so might as well drink it all, right?

[Guest suzy-loozy]

Wine........4 oz is 2 pts.....however, here is why I like to drink wine (besides the fact that I just like wine....LOL)

 

When I have a beer or mixed drink with ice I tend to drink it faster than wine.....and buzz wise (if your not driving) ....wine is higher in alcohol content than beer....not sure about a shot of liquor......

 

I can sip a glass of wine for a while....and so it seems to be the wise choice for me.....

 

Cheers!

White wine diet sprite or 7up with ice. It comes out to be only 1pt per glass , I think because you not getting a full glass of wine when you add the soda and the ice. It's refreshing to me and I guess you would call it a spritzer.

[DDawnC 10]

Yes, wine is 2 pts for 4 oz- a pts bargain, in my book!

 

Beck's Premier Light (think that's the right name) beer is only 1 pt per bottle, which is an even bigger points bargain, but I think it tastes like crap. Michelob Ultra is 2 pts/bottle but tastes better.

[Guest DaydreamBeliever]

My hubby and I are going to split a bottle of pinot noir tonite (normal size bottle) over a movie...how many point for 1/2 a bottle of wine?

[Guest pocketcatchers]

Smirnoff ice Ultra 2 points and you don't need to mix it. It comes in a single serving size. Enjoy

[Duchess Talks Too Much 0]

Mike's Light Hard Lemonade. One is 2 points. Two is 3 points. Totally worth it, IMO.

[icinglady1 10]

This is an excellent drink:

 

2 oz coconut rum

2 oz light cranberry juice

2 oz pineapple juice

Thanks a bunch

I second this question! Where do you find the light Bacardi? I looked at their website and it looks great, but I KNOW I've never seen it at the liquor store near my apartment!
