Niccole Trzaska, head mixologist at Stone
Rose in New York and one of the New York Post’s “25
Sexiest New Yorkers,” has created two cocktails that will keep that calorie count in check. She
also offers this adv ice:
-
 Always try to use a diet mixer. “I always
try to add something with a bit of fizz—a great way to add
texture without adding calories.”
-
Always use fresh juice. “The fresher the
better for you. I absolutely hate the sugary pre-packaged
juices. They drive me crazy!”
-
Keep cocktails simple. “The fewer mixers
the better. Adding additional spirits and mixers into a complex
cocktail adds a lot of unnecessary calories.”
-
Don’t be afraid of champagne. “An ultra
brut has only 65 calories. You can look sexy and sophisticated
without a sugary, fancy cocktail.”
