Summer is well underway and if you’re like most of us, you want to looking and feeling your best.  Of course, it’s hard to look and feel your best after having two bottles of wine and a margarita for dinner the night previous.  So how do you still enjoy summer, those late nights on the patio, and the company of friends without having to swear off adult beverages?  Easy.  We’ve taken a look at a ton of different cocktail recipes and have broken down the absolute best and healthiest cocktails you might want to consider if drinking down 2,000+ calories in a single sitting isn’t your idea of summer fun.
Of course, when it comes to alcohol, healthy is a bit subjective.  Anything regarding alcohol needs to be done in moderation, no matter how “healthy” it may be.  So keep that in mind, and look at these cocktails as simply as more nutritious, less calorie substitutes to some of the high-cal, sugary sweet concoctions you’ve been drowning yourself with all summer long.
