Every now and then—whether it’s after a stressful day at the office, grilling up some high-protein grub on the back patio with some of your best girls, or even after a seriously sweaty session in the gym—you need something with a bit more punch than usual. The only problem? Most of the drinks you order at the bar—especially the sweet, fruity ones that taste oh so good in the summertime—are loaded with calories. These six supremely refreshing, sparkling cocktails, on the other hand, will cool you down and take the edge off—without wrecking your diet or beach-ready six-pack abs.
