While greasy burgers and
sugar-filled ice cream treats are obvious summer diet-busters, hidden calories
in fruity and frozen drinks are a silent enemy. Luckily, for bar and poolside
lounging in Sin City, MGM Resorts International has guests covered with
delicious and refreshing skinny cocktails. At less than 150 calories per
cocktail, they are sure to keep the party going minus the diet sins.
· MGM Grand’s pool is serving up four figure-friendly sips:
Berry Skinny combines TY KU
Citrus Liqueur and Cîroc Red Berry with sugar-free syrup for a sweet and tangy
combo “punch.”
The Coconut Mojito is simple
and refreshing with Cîroc Coconut, simple syrup and muddled mint leaves,
providing an herbaceous sweetness at each sip.
Order a Drunken Palmer for
low-cal-plus-alcohol twist on the golf course classic – featuring Seagram’s
Sweet Tea Vodka mixed with light lemonade.
Get the party started with
Pool Paloma, an intoxicating concoction of Herradura Blanco Tequila and
grapefruit juice over ice.
Bellagio’s renowned
Petrossian Lounge created the Cosmopolitan “Flaca” to calorie-conscious guests’
delight. Combining Absolut Citron, Solerno Blood Orange Liqueur, white
cranberry juice, and a splash of lime, this delicious and fruity mix is a
perfect summertime libation.
Nicer than its quirky name suggests,
the Skinny Beach can easily be made at home, with just three simple
ingredients. Combine TY KU liquor, lime juice or sour mix and club soda for a
low-cal refreshing sip. Available at two of the city’s hottest pool bars, Beach
Bar & Grill at Mandalay Bay Beach and Boathouse Bar at New York-New York,
this cocktail is not only delicious but impressive with less than 100 calories
per serving.
Japonais at The Mirage serves
up the perfect remedy for hours in the desert sun – and it even contains a
serving of fruit. Cucumber Passion mixes Hangar One Kafir Lime Vodka, passion
fruit juice and house cucumber water mix, garnished with cool, sliced
cucumbers.
The pool at Monte Carlo follows suit with the Skinny Cherry – an
energy-boosting libation. Cherry vodka is mixed with Sugar-Free Redbull, topped
with a float of cranberry juice and garnished with a cherry.
