Figure Friendly drinks at MGM's Pools! Refreshing and Low Cal!

Japanois Cucumber Passion

 While greasy burgers and sugar-filled ice cream treats are obvious summer diet-busters, hidden calories in fruity and frozen drinks are a silent enemy. Luckily, for bar and poolside lounging in Sin City, MGM Resorts International has guests covered with delicious and refreshing skinny cocktails. At less than 150 calories per cocktail, they are sure to keep the party going minus the diet sins.

·         MGM Grand’s pool is serving up four figure-friendly sips:

Berry Skinny combines TY KU Citrus Liqueur and Cîroc Red Berry with sugar-free syrup for a sweet and tangy combo “punch.”

The Coconut Mojito is simple and refreshing with Cîroc Coconut, simple syrup and muddled mint leaves, providing an herbaceous sweetness at each sip.

Order a Drunken Palmer for low-cal-plus-alcohol twist on the golf course classic – featuring Seagram’s Sweet Tea Vodka mixed with light lemonade.

Get the party started with Pool Paloma, an intoxicating concoction of Herradura Blanco Tequila and grapefruit juice over ice.

Bellagio’s renowned Petrossian Lounge created the Cosmopolitan “Flaca” to calorie-conscious guests’ delight. Combining Absolut Citron, Solerno Blood Orange Liqueur, white cranberry juice, and a splash of lime, this delicious and fruity mix is a perfect summertime libation. 

Nicer than its quirky name suggests, the Skinny Beach can easily be made at home, with just three simple ingredients. Combine TY KU liquor, lime juice or sour mix and club soda for a low-cal refreshing sip. Available at two of the city’s hottest pool bars, Beach Bar & Grill at Mandalay Bay Beach and Boathouse Bar at New York-New York, this cocktail is not only delicious but impressive with less than 100 calories per serving.

Japonais at The Mirage serves up the perfect remedy for hours in the desert sun – and it even contains a serving of fruit. Cucumber Passion mixes Hangar One Kafir Lime Vodka, passion fruit juice and house cucumber water mix, garnished with cool, sliced cucumbers.

The pool at Monte Carlo follows suit with the Skinny Cherry – an energy-boosting libation. Cherry vodka is mixed with Sugar-Free Redbull, topped with a float of cranberry juice and garnished with a cherry.
