105 calorie tropical Mai Tai. This is the tastiest low cal cocktail I’ve ever made. So good! 1/3 the calories of a regular mai tai.

You’ll be surprised by my grenadine substitute: 0 cal Mio Fruit punch. Sounds a little low brow, but trust me it is really good.
Also, this is my first time using Almond orgeat syrup. It’s so tasty!! You can use it in lattes too.

edit: I was just informed in another subreddit that the correct name for this cocktail is a “rum Sex on the Beach” ha ha. Please don’t call it a Mai Tai. I’m learning 🙂

Ingredients:

* 1 oz of rum
* 1 T Monin sugar free triple sec
* 1 tsp lemon juice
* 80 ml V8 sparkling orange pineapple drink
* 1 T concentrated orange juice
* 1 T Monin sugar free orgeat almond syrup (optional, but tasty!)
* “grenadine”: Finish with a squirt of Mio fruit punch on top to give it that Mai Tai look. You might have to stir it a little.

Fill glass half full with ice. Mix the first six ingredients and then top with the mio “grenadine.” Garnish if you like.

Note, you can also use a low calorie orange juice like Trop50 + pineapple juice instead of the V8+OJ concentrate. There are many Mai Tai variations, so feel free to experiment.

I plan on making a mojito tonight. Will post this week if it’s successful. Feel free to follow me for updates (I’ll follow back).

Omg thank you for sharing! Do you have any other cocktail recipes?

I love what you’ve done here, thanks for the recipe, looking forward to your mojito as well!

Looks delicious, do you have any recipe for non-alcoholic cocktails?
