As most legal-aged women know, alcohol is a diet killer. It's fine in moderation, however, that seems to be a lesson learned after one has gained the dreaded "Freshman Fifteen". When seeking a balance of both health and fun times, low-calorie ingredients are used as cocktail mixers. Vodka-diet soda. Vodka-water. Bleh. Let's be honest, water
hardly masks a liquor's flavor. So when Bethenny Frankel debuted her line of
Skinnygirl Cocktails in 2009, it began an instant craze.
I have taste-tested the product several times, especially the original margarita. The bitter flavor took some getting used to at first, but now I have come to expect it. In my opinion, it's still better than Vodka-water or similar concoctions. Plus the pre-made beverage is convenient, the bottle is aesthetically pleasing, and it comes with a promise that you can be a
skinny girl. Today the product line has expanded to include decadent flavors of Pina Colada, White Peach Margarita, White Cranberry Cosmopolitan, and more.
