5 Low-Cal Fall Cocktails
It’s five o’clock somewhere, amirite?
Somedays after 12 hours of workouts, managing my inbox, planning content, and packaging SIS goodies for shipment, I am spent! And all I want to do is go downstairs to our bar and enjoy a refreshing cocktail. BUT so many cocktails are full of sugary, syrupy additives (beers just aren’t my jam) that I my stomach gets filled up with just a half a glass. Are you the same? That’s why this week I’m sharing some of my favorite low-cal cocktail recipes that you can make at home to wind down at night or host an evening of friends and family!
One of my favorites from this list is the caramel apple mule. I love how light and refreshing it is while incorporating seasonal spices and fruits that taste like fall in a cup. I have a collection of copper mugs that are as functional as they are cute bar decor, so I love getting them out in the fall for this evening treat!
