It’s the weekend and you want to have a drink, but you feel guilty because your watching your weight and we all know liquor isn’t the best thing while dieting…. unless you know how to order. There are healthy alternatives when having a couple drinks at the club or even during a girls night in.

The healthiest drink to order when going out or making your own drinks at home would be a gin and tonic, According to Medicinenet.com. Gin & Tonic has also been referred to as “The perfect summer drink” as well as the healthiest. Add a bit of lime to your gin & tonic for vitamin C and if diet tonic is available, it would make your drink that much more healthier. Fun health fact about Gin & Tonic; The tonic is known to fight malaria. Good to know!

Sangria is known to be pretty high on the list for healthiest alcoholic beverages as well. This drink contains about 150 calories and most of them are good calories. Sangria contains Potassium, Iron, Protein, Dietary Fiber, Amino acids & Vitamin’s A, C and B6, Just to name a few. Peep here to see what other health factors Sangria has to offer.

Make your Mojito healthier by making sure its fresh mint in your drink and not flavoring. Flavoring contains way too much sugar alone. AVOID! Also, I have personally ordered sugar free mojitos which taste the same as a regular mojito which is great. Same taste, less sugar. Ask the bar tender next time if possible.

If none of these drinks tickle your fancy just remember to try and stay away from drinks with too much soda and sugar. Wine & mixed drinks with juices would be your best bet. Krystal Bee reminds you to drink responsibly
