Would be nice if the recipe were under the photo in the slide rather than having to go to a whole bunch of links....

My favorite low-cal cocktails are whiskey and soda or gin and soda (with lime). Then all you have is the calories from the alcohol, and if you mix it at home you can make it a little weaker for fewer calories. I'm a drinking lightweight anyway, so that's really just as well. :)
