PRODUCT: Pineapple Coconut Smirnoff Vodka For A Low-Cal Piña Colada
|
|
The Smirnoff Sorbet Light vodka line is targeted to women who enjoy a regular cocktail, and would like to shave a few calories from each drink. The reduced calories are achieved by lowering the proof of the alcohol: The Sorbet Light line is 60 proof/30% ABV* while original Smirnoff (and most vodka) is 80 proof/40% ABV. We like a good flavored vodka: It’s like a cocktail without the extra calories. When we tasted new Sorbet Light Pineapple Coconut, it reminded us of one of our favorite drinks—the Piña Colada—without the extra calories of pineapple juice and coconut cream. Through the miracle of noncaloric flavor infusions, a shot of the vodka has all the satisfaction of fresh juicy pineapple combined with the luscious coconut. It’s not creamy, but to us, that doesn’t matter. It’s the pineapple-coconut flavor we crave. *ABV is Alcohol By Volume. Double the ABV to get the proof of any alcoholic beverage. If you want to “stretch out” the calories, add coconut water like Zico—60 calories for 11 ounces, 30 calories for half of that in your cocktail. You can mix up any number of cocktails. Here are some from Smirnoff. All of the recipes are under 150 calories. RECIPE #1: PIÑA COCO SPRITZER Ingredients Per Drink 1. FILL a highball glass with ice; add remaining ingredients. 2.
