Refreshing Ruby Red Cocktail

Refreshingly Light Skinny Drink
Refreshing Ruby Red Cocktail
It is less than 80 calories for a 12-16 ounce Drink!
Who can't afford to watch their calorie intake? It surely cannot hurt. Right!
Well, have I got a wonderfully refreshing drink to share with you!
I generally will not drink "Skinny" or Diet drinks because of the horrible taste. I don't care how many calories I'm saving, I'd rather go without all together!  Today I made a drink that was less than 80 calories and it was absolutely so wonderfully refreshing, my husband even commented on how refreshing and superbly "non-diet" it tasted. 

This drink just happened to come about from him suggesting use up some of the big beverage bottles in the fridge. 

Here is what I used:

1 shot, Burnett's Citrus Vodka, or to taste
4 ounces or more,  Sprite Zero or Diet Squirt
8 ounces, Ruby Red Grapefruit juice, Ocean Spray Light "50 Calories", or more to taste
Rainier Cherries, 2 or 3, optional, 
1 thinly, sliced Orange Slice 
any other fruit  slices or pieces to taste for garnish
Ice Cubes 
Freezer Mug (you know the mugs with the liquid that is freezable) *optional
Reusable, Freezer Ice Cube Fish (same type as the Mug) *optional

Pour Vodka, Sprite Zero and Ruby Red Grapefruit into a glass or mug. Stir, then add ice cubes. Garnish with cherry and orange slice or preferred fruit. Serve immediately and Enjoy!

Note: 
*Make sure to use the Ocean Spray Brand if you do not like the "diet taste". Other brands tend to have a very distinct and strong "diet taste".
*Omit the alcohol and freeze to a slush and serve to all ages for a refreshing treat!
