My passion for low sugar drinking is strong. I am also beyond obsessive about being hangover-free, mainly because I tend to eat worse and not workout the next day. I have found that cutting back sugar content really helps me sleep better and feel better the next day. I wanted to share some of my favorite wines and cocktail recipes with you all, so you can feel your best too!
I love wine, but I find that even if I have 1-2 glasses, I can feel it the next day. I have heard of Scout and Cellar wines but figured they were like the other brands I have tried that claimed low sugar (FitVine, Skinnygirl, Usual). Some of these brands had a watery taste for me, and some had less alcohol by volume, and still the same headache. Recently, I was able to try Scout and Cellar at a wine tasting and was hooked!
The most exciting thing for me about Scout and Cellar wine was the sugar content. My beloved Meomi wine has about 16 grams of sugar per bottle, where Scout and Cellar reds have around 1.5 grams per bottle. And my fav, Whispering Angel, has approximately 9 grams of sugar, where the Rose' I love from Scout and Cellar has ZERO!!! #roseallday. The clean crafted wines also have no chemicals or additives, are organic, and are super low in sulfites. You can really tell by the smooth taste and how you sleep and feel the next day. To say it’s nice to have clean wine delivered straight to your doorstep is an understatement. Quote from my friend, "I drank a whole bottle of the Pinot Noir, feel great, and posted my best Peloton score. This stuff is legit." I signed up to have my own Scout and Cellar website because I was ordering it so much for myself, so please let me know if you need any recommendations- crystal.jarnigo@gmail.com.
If you want a vodka that is flavored, try and get options that are "infused" as opposed to flavored. Flavored can have more added sugar, whereas infused vodka is usually fewer calories and added sugars. My favorites are the Ketel One Botanical Infusions. These have no artificial sugar, no carbs, no sugar, and are delish. My favorites are the Cucumber Mint flavor with Lime LaCroix. I also love the Grapefruit and Rose flavor mixed with Pamplemousse La Croix.
Deep Bay spirits are still my favorite liquor in a can. Premium vodka or gin with 0 Carbs + 0 sugar + around 110 calories per can. I absolutely love these for the beach or the lake! It is hard to choose, but I think my favorite flavor is the Cranberry Pomegranate, but they are all good! You can find them at most liquor stores now.
Some more "recipes."....the only recipes I know :)
Skinny Pina Colada: Bacardi rum + La Croix Pina Colada + splash of Bai Bubbles Pineapple
Skinny Pina Colada
Skinny Lemon drop: Citrus Infused Vodka + Limoncello La Croix + Lemon or splash of light Lemonade
Skinny Watermelon Crawl: Watermelon Infused Vodka + the NEW Watermelon La Croix + piece of or muddled watermelon
I hope you enjoy all these yummy drinks!
Cheers,
Crystal
