For the Girls: Skinny Grapetini Cocktail

{I received a gift card to purchase samples of Crystal Light and was compensated for my time to share this post and recipe with you. All opinions are my own.}

Don’t miss the Skinny Grapetini recipe at the end of the post!

I love my family. I really, really, do. But sometimes a momma just needs a break. Living with my all-boy crew makes me appreciate time with my girls even more. Fortunately, I’ve got some great ladies in my life, and now that I’m up and about after a rough year of pregnancy and surgery, I’m actively making sure I get some down time with my friends.

Inevitably, when gal pals unite, a few things happen: We talk. A lot. And yes, sometimes about boys. We drink. Booze, preferably, but sometimes we have to select another beverage for the sake of propriety. And we moan and groan about losing weight. It’s the female plight.

Getting together with friends soon? Then you’ll want to try this Skinny Grapetini recipe I pulled together before my most recent backyard dinner party. It was the perfect blend of sweet and tart, low-calorie and boozy. (Insert smile.)
crystal light smNext time you’re at Walmart, pick up your favorite CRYSTAL LIGHT flavor. I selected Grape (it spoke to me), but choose whatever floats your boat. Make sure to keep your receipt! CRYSTAL LIGHT and Miranda Lambert are partnering to launch the Platinum Points Program to reward CRYSTAL LIGHT customers with fun Miranda gear to coincide with her Platinum Tour.

I was sure to save my receipt and collect my points.  Using the CRYSTAL LIGHT Platinum Points Program is easy! Purchase participating CRYSTAL LIGHT products at Walmart, snap a photo of your receipt with your Smartphone, and choose from a variety of Miranda Lambert rewards.  Don’t forget to use the promo code “mirandaic.”  To sign up:

• Redeem points for Miranda Lambert rewards
