I
know
what
you’re
thinking—”
It’s
the
holidays,
why
worry
about
calories?”
Trust
me,
I
hear
you!
But
if
you’re
like
me,
after
a
few
too
many
rich
meals
and
sweet
treats,
you
might
start
feeling
a
bit
sluggish.
I’ve
found
that
making
my
cocktails
a
little
lighter
allows
me
to
indulge
without
feeling
weighed
down.
It’s
an
easy
way
to
sneak
in
a
healthier
option
without
anyone
even
noticing.
