CLEVER COCKTAIL SWAPS

WOMAN'S OWN

Christmas is just around the corner, which for many of us means a drink or two to celebrate.

CLEVER COCKTAIL SWAPS

Worried about getting carried away? You’re not alone – roughly 60%* of Brits over-indulge on booze during the festive period.

And a sore head isn’t the only possible side effect. Those sugar-laden cocktails can ramp up your calorie intake and dehydrate your skin – bad news for your figure and complexion. But with a few simple swaps, here’s how to enjoy a drink while taking care of your health.

Yes, you can still enjoy a festive tipple without sabotaging your health or waistline

SLIMMING SPIRIT

SWAP

Cosmopolitan (212 calls)

FOR Vodka and diet cranberry juice (70 cals) You’ll get that sweetand-sour kick, but with less than half the calories. Garnish with real cranberries for a festive flair and to help boost your heart health.

SWAP

A glass of champagne (111 calls)

FOR Buck’s Fizz (95 cals) Can’t say no to festive bubbles? Top up your glass with orange juice for an immune-boosting dose of vitamin C.
