From our go-to happy hour sip to our favorite comfort nightcap, we all have our cocktails of choice when we’re partaking in some 21 and up fun. The problem? Most classic cocktails pack as many calories in a single glass as a drive-thru kids' meal. But it gets worse—besides the nutrient alcohol itself, most mixed drinks are chock full of sugar, syrup, and similar ingredients to the ones you’d find on the label of some gummy worms.

Don’t fret, our little mixed drink maniacs—we’re here to shake up your standard alcoholic sip by giving these classics a low-cal spin! Whether you’re a spicy marg maven or a sucker for an Aperol spritz, we’re sharing a low-cal version of four cocktail classics. So round up your drinking buddies and grab a glass—it’s time to go la vida low-cal!
