Classic Martini with the perfect pour of an ounce and a half with lemon twist - photo property of The IntoxicologistLower calorie cocktails do not have to be difficult to make or find. Often a simple variation of classic drink recipes you know and love are as easy as simple syrup modification or thinking outside the box for cocktail ingredients when visiting your grocer. The last thing one wants to think of when enjoying a cocktail is ‘diet’ so don’t! Enjoy a few classic cocktails while keeping in line with low calorie adaptation and the entire figure friendly drink recipe notion will be a breeze. 
 
Many cocktails call for simple syrup (also referred to as bar syrup). There are varieties on the commercial market that make buying simple syrup a breeze, but most are not sugar free. The photo drink recipe slide show references Splenda Simple Syrup and DaVinci Sugar-Free syrups. DaVinci Sugar-Free Syrups may be found on the coffee aisle at your local grocer’s store or at DaVanci online. There are other brands that sell sugar-free syrups as well, so do have a look around to find what is locally available to you. The recipe for the easy to make Splenda Simple Syrup is contained within the photo drink recipe slideshow along with nine more classic cocktail recipes that have been adapted to lower calorie living.
