Cherry Sparkle Cocktail Recipe

This week I made my Sweet’N Low Cherry Sparkler Valentine’s Day drink recipe as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars #SweetNLowStars

I’m not always a big fan of Valentine’s Day – although I do love me some love. :) But, I had quite a few Valentine’s Days ruined by silly boys, in my early 20’s…. One went on a road trip with friends to Seattle, stayed a few days longer than he was supposed to, and called me on Valentine’s Day from- wait for it….. Hooters. That was nice. Another boyfriend, a few years later, bought me PJ’s, which I’d mentioned I was wanting…. But bought them for me in a mens size XXL. And I’m not that big. Sheesh. Even if was, how rude, lol. But even with some unfortunate Valentine’s Days behind me, I still get excited to celebrate. And with a 4 year old, and few options for babysitting, we have a lot of date nights at home. So, I came up with a fun little drink to make the evening more festive. Hope you enjoy it too.

How to Make Jingle Juice Punch

This week I made my Sweet’N Low Cran-Pink Grapefruit Punch Recipe as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars. #SweetNLowStars You guys know I love to party. I’ve told ya many a time. Which is why I love coming up with fun new party drinks for all of our events! We have a super huge, super awesome, super, super festive Christmas party coming up next weekend, so I created a new drink especially for that. I wanted something low-cal, diabetic-friendly, and waist-line appropriate :) I think you’ll love this Cranberry and Pink Grapefruit Juice Punch Recipe. I call it Jingle Juice. Check it, yo:

So, this is seriously easy to make. First, you start with some basic ingredients – All stuff you can find super easily in any local grocery store.

You’ll need some diet cranberry juice, only 5 calories per serving, which rocks. Some SkinnyGirl Pink Grapfruit juice, which is also low cal. Sprite Cranberry. And some assorted fresh fruits like sliced lemon, orange, lime, and cranberries. Whatever – as my new favorite phrase goes, “tickles your fancy.”

And since we’re making this drink super low-cal and low-sugar, we want to sweeten it up just a bit, in a healthy way, by adding some Sweet ‘N Low. One pack per drink is a perfect addition!

To make your drink, you just use equal parts of the cranberry juice, Sprite, and pink grapefruit juice. Pour them all over ice. Add a packet of Sweet ‘N Low, and your delish fruit slices. Stir again. And enjoy! You can also make a big batch in a punch bowl for parties, if you want to. And if you want to create more a cocktail drink, add a splash of your favorite vodka on top. Enjoy responsibly!

Caramel Apple Sangria Recipe

This week I made my Sweet’N Low Caramel Apple Sangria Recipe as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars #SweetNLowStars…. Hope you love it as much as I did!

So…. I’m sure you’ve heard it a few times already, but… It’s fall, ya’all! :) Which is honestly my favorite time of year. Here in Central Washington, the leaves are changing, the weather is getting crisp, and it’s fabulous. So, I was inspired together a seasonal cocktail that fit the weather and the mood – but made it a little healthier by substituting out the sugar. Ready for it?

The Elsa Cocktail – Disney’s Frozen Inspired Sangria Recipe

This week I made my Sweet’N Low Sangria recipe, inspired by the Disney movie Frozen, as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars. #SweetNLowStars.

Hi. My name is Meagan. And I like to party. {Anyone else seen Hot Rod? One of the funniest-cheesiest movies ever? :)} Anyway – I do like to party. Whether it’s a great dinner party with friends and family, a girl’s night with my besties, or a playdate party with my favorite-ist little lady – any reason to celebrate life makes me happy. And, since my little girl, like every other girl ages 1-100 in the world, is in love with the movie Frozen, I decided to have a fun Frozen themed night for her and a couple of our friends. Today I’ll share the drinks I made – Sangria for the adults, and a couple of non-alcoholic options for the kiddos. Over the next week I’ll share some treats, foods, and party ideas too. So be sure to subscribe via email to stay updated!

How fun is this, right? I call it “The Elsa.” It’s icy blue colored. It has frozen fruit and fun frozen ice cubes – even star-shaped {the closest I could get to a snowflake :)} frozen pineapple slices. It’s also low-cal. Because it’s made with SkinnyGirl wine, and Sweet’N Low instead of sugar in the simple syrup. A delish drink that’s guilt-free, and super fun? That’s a win in my book :) So – here’s how to create your own at home… [Read more…]

Skinny Blueberry Mojito Recipe

Super excited to share my Sweet’N Low Blueberry Mojito Recipe as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars. #SweetNLowStars. Because you know, I love sharing cool stuff with you guys. :)

A few of my favorite things…. Summertime. Drinks with friends. Swimming in the pool. Fresh fruit. Relaxing – which I get waaaay to little of. So, taking some time to create a seriously yumm-tastic new low-cal drink recipe fits perfectly into my summer. {Because, time by the pool involves a swimsuit. So, low-cal, you know? :)}

This Skinny Blueberry Mojito is made with delicious fresh blueberries, Sweet’N Low, my fave rum, fresh mint, is low-calorie like I mentioned, and is even diabetic friendly. Perfect for summer entertaining.
