Cocktail Friday: Skinny Orange Rum Escape
Just because you're drinking a "Skinny" Cocktail, doesn't mean it can't be delicious! Our Skinny Orange Rum Escape is a fruity way to let yourself enjoy a tropical treat without the guilt!
I love a good skinny rum cocktail (see Skinny Pina Colada). Not because I’m on a diet or trying to lose weight, but because cocktails loaded with sugar are the guaranteed way to feel miserable the next morning. Ain’t nobody got time for that! Right?!? Keep your drinks made with natural ingredients and smart mixers and you will thank me for it tomorrow!
And drink water… lots of water! Just sayin’!
We combine Bacardi Oakheart Spiced Rum with 18.21 Bitters Coconut Lemongrass Bitters (Orange Bitters is a good substitute), Organic Pineapple Juice, and Izze Clementine Soda (which is just 70% pure fruit juice and a splash of sparkling water). Simply mix in a glass, then pour it over a fresh orange slice laying on a bed of crushed ice. It’s a cocktail and a show! With all these natural flavors and juices used, our Skinny Orange Rum Escape is the ideal skinny rum cocktail that you can sip all night and still feel great!
BTW… I love these Silver Footed Martini Glasses we found at HomeGoods, Don’t You?
