Remember the good old days, when you could eat and drink anything you wanted and party all night and you wouldn’t gain a pound? I don’t but I’m sure a lot of you do. But these days you have to pick your poison and you don’t want to drink your calories. The homie Pitbull of all people has something to help you with the battle of the boozing bulge. He’s a partner in a low calorie flavored spirits company called Voli Vodka that has been putting in serious work to get you buzzed without the belly.
After years of testing, consulting with various mixologists and premium spirits producers, Voli has delivered a line of flavored light vodka that are 25-40 percent lower in calories than the leading brands. All that is well and good but does it taste good? Voli Light Vodka comes in six flavors Raspberry Cocoa, Espresso Vanilla, Orange Vanilla, Lemon, Mango Coconut and Light (original) electrolyte. Here are a few cocktail ideas for your next party. If you’re on the East Coast, your Halloween party ideas are probably gone with the wind, but if you’re anywhere else, these numbers may set your party off right.
