Warm summer evenings make us crave delicious and refreshing drinks. Regardless of whether the drink is alcoholic or non-alcoholic, there are usually quite a few calories hidden in it. For comparison, a margarita cocktail has 530 calories and a summer piña colada has 420 calories.
So what kind of drink should I choose to calm down? we don't saturate ourselves with sugar and unnecessary calories, but that we still have the real feeling of summer?
Lemonade with different flavors
Lemonade is not only refreshing, but also beneficial for our health. The basic version, lemon and water, can be prepared very easily at home. One glass of such a drink has 42 calories. In recent years, versions made from different fruits and also lemonade with a twist have been popular. No matter what kind of fruit is used in combination with water, ice and a minimum amount of sugar (if you really can't do without it), the drink will be refreshing, and it is also suitable for all occasions.
A mojito
When we talk about summer cocktails, many people immediately think of the mojito. It is prepared with white rum, lemon or lime juice, a spoonful of sugar, mineral water and mint. This makes it very refreshing and is the ideal drink for anyone who otherwise swears by margaritas. A full glass of mojito, depending on the amount of sugar, has around 150 calories.
Frosé
A drink that not only cools, but is also very photogenic (read: instagram-worthy), is definitely frosé, which is most simply described as a frozen version of rosé wine. This drink is easy to make with rosé, ice and a little lemon juice, and one glass, without sugar, has less than 90 calories.
A glass of dark wine
If you prefer to enjoy wine in a classic way, you can always go for a normal, chilled red wine. One glass of good quality red wine has around 88 calories.
