Healthy Cocktails you can Order at any Restaurant | Vesper & Vine | Cocktail Hour Essentials and Celebrations

We've all been there. You sit down at your favorite restaurant, ready to order vegan portabella fajitas when you realize you fancy a skinny cocktail to go with your meal. But what healthy cocktail to order? Beer is heavy, wine stains your teeth. You're in need of a healthy cocktail to order, but nothing comes to mind! Look no further and explore the options we've found below! Here is our list of healthy cocktails to order at any restaurant!

Tequila Paloma

Tequila Paloma | Healthy Cocktails You Can Order at any Restaurant | Vesper and Vine | Cocktail Hour Essentials

Helloooo, Paloma! Made from equal parts tequila, grapefruit juice, and club soda, a Tequila Paloma is sure to hit the spot! Some bartenders will serve it up with a salted rim, and all should be happy to oblige if you request it. The Tequila Paloma is a thirst-quenching choice for the hottest days of summer. This is one of my favorite healthy cocktails to order at any restaurant!

For a homemade version, try this recipe from Food with Feeling.

 

Rose Spritzer

Rose Spritzer | Healthy Cocktails You Can Order at any Restaurant

Next, on our list of healthy cocktails to order at any restaurant, you might have heard of the white wine spritzer, but let me introduce you to your new BFF, the Rose Spritzer. Spritzers are such a lovely treat and remind me of summertime and patois. I can almost hear the birds chirping and feel the sunrays warming me as I type. Rose spritzers are dry and refreshing, not sweet. A slice of lemon often sets it off nicely.

For a homemade version, try this recipe from Salt and Lavender.

 

Cosmopolitan

The Sexy and Classic Cosmopolitan Martini | Vesper & Vine | Celebrations and Cocktail Hour Essentials

 

Oh, the Cosmopolitan, my truest love. Somehow this almost pure alcohol drink has become known as a fruity foofoo drink. Don't underestimate the powers of this orange-flavored martini. With only alcohol and a splash of cranberry and lime juices, this cocktail is all business in the tastiest fashion.

Gin Gimlet

Gimlet | Healthy Cocktails You Can Order at Any Restaurant | Vesper & Vine Cocktail Hour Essentials

The last on our list of healthy cocktails to order when at a restaurant, the ancient gin gimlet has a thousand twists and turns it can take, but the classic is simple and delicious. Gin, lime, and a touch of simple syrup. It can benefit from adding cucumbers, fruit juices, or club soda, but the classic is delicious.

For a homemade version, try this recipe from VinePair.
