Written by Kamila, Joana & Ilka | Mar 9, 2020 7:07:24 PM

Fitness-minded people have a tendency to be a bit obsessive—I say that with great affection, as a little gym freak myself. We take a lot of care to optimise our workouts and diets down to the last second. It’s part of the fun.

Gym goers always think they must give up on all 'bad' calories including alcohol. While drinking certainly isn’t the absolute healthiest choice, especially if you’re on a strict training regimen and can't afford a hangover, everyone deserves a little treat every now and then.

We create for you a list of these healthy cocktails that will keep the calorie count to a minimum, while still tasting absolutely fabulous.

1. Vodka Soda - 100 calories

The vodka soda is a very simple, low calories option popular especially amongst people who love going out to nightclubs and lazy bartenders. Two ingredients: vodka (as you'd imagine) and soda water with an optional lemon wedge make a great, refreshing combo. You can't go wrong!

 

2. Old-Fashioned - 142 calories

The Old-Fashioned cocktail is probably one of the most known whiskey based cocktails. It is a very simple drink made of rye whiskey, sugar or syrup. Topped up with an orange twist and angostura bitters.

 

3. Gin & tonic - 103 calories

Gin & Tonic sounds, looks, smells and tastes irresistible plus everyone sounds classy ordering a gin & tonic. It's perfect for any occasion or time of the day. Just be careful with the choice of the tonic water brand as some of them are loaded with sugar!

 

4. Mulled wine - 115 calories

Mulled wine, also known asspiced wine, is a drink usually made with red wine along with various mulling spices and sometimes raisins. Fancy, huh? It is perfect for a cold winter day. Warm up and say fit!

 

5. Pomegranate martini - 111 calories

Pomegranate Martinis are the new black. The drink made up from pomegranate juice, citrus vodka and lime has become one of my favourite cocktails. This cocktail will impress at any type of party, from a low-key hangout to a classy formal. I love the brightness of pomegranate mixed with just a hint of orange.
