5 Summer Low-Calorie Alcoholic Drinks

1. Beer


Having a beer is the easiest choice in a warm summer night. It says that beer is not good for the waist inches, but because it doesn't contain a lot of alcohol, a glass of beer will not affect your body measures.

2. Spritzers

Choose Spritzers this summer because they have very few calories and they are very refreshing. A spritzer consists of half glass wine and half sparkling water.

3. Vodka with soda


Votca has 94 calories per 40 gr, and soda has no calories, so it is another great alternative for a summer going out. You can add some lemon for extra taste.


4. Mimosa


This cocktail made from champagne and orange juice is not only tasteful, but also a healthy option if you want to keep in shape. The champagne is antioxidant and the orange juice contains a lot of nutrients for your body.

5. Bloody Mary


This drink contains very little or no sugar, and because it is spicy, it makes you consume more water, which helps you to keep hydrated and prevent the hangover.

Cake decorating is one of the sugar arts that uses icing or frosting, or any other edible decorative elements to make plain cakes more visually interesting. You need only to put your imagination at work.

 "Cakes are special. Every birthday, every celebration ends with something sweet, a cake, and people remember. It`s all about the memories." (Buddy Valastro)

There are some types of flowers which can be eaten, like violets, begonias, etc. Only the most tasteful and beautiful ones are used.

The classic popsicle is sorbet form with bio milk, so it is suitable for vegans as well. I really wish ice creams with flowers to be available everywhere for everyone to enjoy them.
