Being healthy doesn’t necessarily mean you have to give up your social life. If you are trying to lose a lot of weight, or shed those last few pounds, it can feel like the only way you can survive is to lock yourself away from the temptations you face at cocktail hour. We all know alcohol is just empty calories but some lifestyle choices should be non-negotiable! If you think happy hour is sacred, we’ve got just the thing for you!
There is a trend currently hitting the bar scene that sees bartenders making cocktails using low-proof liquor like Sherry, Lillet, or vermouth. This means two amazing things for you!
