I drink vodka with soda and lime if I am counting calories.

This is nice.

Dark and stormy-- Ginger beer, lime and dark run is also a good summer drink.

Tequila and grapefruit soda is easy too.

That's a salty dog!

Do you drink diet tonic? That could help the G & T. Or just have some Scotch with a splash of soda or water.

Triple sec is nasty. Use Cointreau or grand mariner instead, or citronage if money is a problem.

I just do vodka tonic w/lime.

I also like the cranberry + vodka over ice already mentioned.

Greyhound - vodka with grapefruit juice.
White wine spritzer - white wine + seltzer.

Love both for hot weather.

Soda, lime & bitters. Usually a vodka drink, but not strong--mix vodka, rose's lime juice & bitters in a lemonade glass; top up with soda water.

Any good ideas for low calorie and simple cocktail recipes? I've discovered mixing a bit of brandy with some diet ginger beer and a splash of seltzer and a squeeze of lemon or lime is quite tasty. I find g&t too sweet and drinks with vodka too strong.
