Use strong-flavored garnishes that add a lot of flavor for little to no calories. A wedge of lemon, lime or orange and fresh mint leaves add bursts of flavor without adding tons of calories.
Opt for margaritas and other summer drinks without sugar on the rim. Although the sugar makes the drink look pretty, it adds extra calories unnecessarily.
Seltzer water (sparkling water) is a great base for low-calorie drinks because it provides fun bubbles but is calorie-free. Other low-calorie bases include diet sodas (fruity sodas provide amazing flavor) or light lemonades or fruit-flavored mixes (like those by Crystal Light, Minute Maid Light or similar brands).
Additionally, consider blending your beverages with ice to give them more volume, which will not only fill you up faster, but will trick your eyes into thinking you're eating a lot more.
To make enjoying a low-calorie cocktail even easier, consider purchasing pre-made light cocktail mixes.
