VODKA SODA VS. VODKA TONIC
While Vodka Sodas and Vodka Tonics have the same cool crisp refreshing vodka taste to them, they are very different cocktails. A Vodka Tonic is basically just the vodka lover’s answer to the Gin and Tonic. Delicious vodka with tonic water (a sweet carbonated beverage), and a little lime. A Vodka Soda on the other hand, is vodka, club soda, and if you are me, two limes. The only calories you are counting in it is the actual vodka, making it a delicious cocktail with few calories.
WHAT MAKES THIS A PINA COLADA VODKA SODA
I will tell you a secret. Sometimes I add a little splash of soda to my Vodka Soda to add a little sweetness to it. Sprite or 7UP or whatever I have on hand just gives it a little sweetness, with adding minimal calories. It is the same deal with this Pina Colada Vodka Soda. I started with vodka, added some coconut sparkling water (La Croix’s version on it is my favorite), and then threw in just a splash of pineapple juice. The ounce of vodka is 69 calories, the sparkling water has none, and the pineapple juice only has 14! That brings the total on this cocktail to a whopping 83 calories!! I think that means we can make it a double ????
