Skinny Strawberry Gin Cocktail Recipe

While I don't drink alcohol, many of my readers have asked for some lower point cocktail recipes. Since my good friend Derrick from This Worthey Life is always sharing great ones, I asked him to whip up this Strawberry Gin Cocktail Recipe for you guys to test out. He has used some great combinations of flavors to really add a punch to a cocktail that would normally be much higher in points.

As I mentioned, I'm not an alcohol drinker, so I have to trust my friends to tell me this is a tasty treat. Yes, at 5 SmartPoints per serving, it can add up fast. That said, it is much lower in points than the alternatives that tend to have 12-15 points per serving. If you aren't a wine drinker but prefer cocktails with hard liquor, this will do the trick. Plus, it's super fast and easy to make at home!

Note: As always, remember to drink responsibly and never drink and drive!

As you can see, this focuses on using stevia sweetened homemade syrup, and a light sparkling water that is flavored and easy to find in stores. Most stores carry various brands of sparkling water, or you can use plain sparkling water if not available. The simple syrup adds tons of sweetness and flavor to compliment the gin.
