All three recipes have less than 160 calories each! I love making cocktails low-cal. :) For all of these recipes, I used Ocean Spray Diet Cran-Pomegranate™ Cranberry Pomegranate Juice Drink and Trop50 No Pulp orange juice. Nutrition info is based on using these low-cal mixers. You can use regular cranberry and orange juice if you prefer, but it'll add calories, and I promise that the low-cal versions are super tasty!
