Skinny No-Hangover Cocktail
It’s the Tuesday after the 3-day weekend. Let’s have a drink!
My 13 year old BMW is falling apart. I got in it this morning and it was low on gas, the check engine light was lit up, and some other light came on that looked like a battery with a squiggly line in it. Ugh! One of my windows is completely broken so I can’t roll it up or down, but it keeps sliding half way down and letting in freezing cold air as I drive to work each morning. Which means before I get in it I have to open the door, palm each side of the window, and use all my strength to shove it back up. Then drive as softly as I can to not hit any bumps on the road and cause the window to slide back down. It’s getting ridiculous.
So rather than think about all my car issues, I’m going to do what any smart adult would do. Pour myself a cocktail and watch Real Housewives.
I love a fancy cocktail, but what I don’t love is the horrendous hangover you suffer thru the day after. You would think the hangover is from the alcohol, but really you get a hangover from all of the sugar that is in the juice and mixers. Plus, your body gets dehydrated because you’re usually not drinking enough water. This drink is the anti-hangover cocktail.
Even better? It’s only 120 teeny, tiny calories. Compare that to 550 calories in just 1 margarita. I could have 5 of these drinks instead. Don’t worry, I wouldn’t, my car problems aren’t that bad. I’m just saying that I could. But I won’t!
It is my go to drink to make at home or order when we go out. You must make the switch. You’ll thank me in the morning.

Until you can fix the window, get a rubber door jam. Place window (or palm it!) in closed position. Wedge the door stopper in.
Voila!!
No more “creep” as you drive. Worked for me until I could go run to get the motor replaced.
That is *such* a good idea! Thanks Clifford! For real going to pick up a door stop at the hardware store today. You’re a genius : )
Subtract the vodka and add tequila (100% blue agave) = my go to, guilt free drink. ;)
I’ve done that before too Ammie! I call it my skinny margarita. And it has to be silver tequila, never gold. Great minds think alike : )
Sometimes people say lol just to have something to say…but I seriously just belly laughed imagining you palming both sides of your window. HA!!
I’m the same way when I read your stuff Karen. “I’m not just saying this, I actually think everything you’re saying is so funny!” And I definitely palmed both sides of my window to lift it up, in the rain, this morning. I’m a classy kind of gal.
