Recipe: Cocktail time

If you're a regular follower, you know I tend to splurge from time to time on an alcoholic beverage. With the holidays just around the corner, I decided to experiment and came up with two low-cal, yet tasty, cocktails. Both make use of one of my new favorite ingredients Torani sugar-free syrup. I use it in coffee all the time. Just a half a teaspoon is enough.

Cocktail No. 1
1 oz. spiced rum
1/2 tsp. Torani sugar-free almond roca syrup (caramel or chocolate would probably be good, too)
1/4 fresh orange
Club soda
Ice

Cocktail No. 2
1 oz. vodka
1/2 tsp. Torani sugar-free raspberry syrup (any fruit flavor would be good)
1/4 fresh orange
Club soda
Ice

Mix the rum and syrup in a glass. (I used a martini glass, but anything that holds 6 to 8 ounces would work.) Squeeze in the juice from the orange section. Fill about 1/3 of the way with ice. Fill with club soda.
