贝瑟妮·弗兰克尔最近推出了四款新的瘦女孩口味:莫吉托、甜蛋西柚玛格丽塔、莫斯卡托和白樱桃伏特加。虽然它们听起来都有点可疑,但我尤其怀疑“天然”口味的伏特加。As I wrote inSkinnygirl Wine Exposed, the Skinnygirl wine’s low-calorie positioning is nothing more than marketing and promotional bluster (low calorie is the result of less alcohol). I would not be surprised if the “natural” flavored vodkas are far from naturally flavored.
White Cherry is just the most recent flavor addition to the Skinnygirl line of “low-carb, low-calorie” vodkas and it joins “natural flavors” tangerine, coconut, cucumber, and “bare naked” (which, curiously is also labeled as having “natural flavors”).
According tofatsecret.com, There are75 caloriesin a 1.5 fl oz serving of Skinnygirl Vodka (the Skinnygirl site says 75.6 calories) Mostvodka? Commonly, 1 serving (1 jigger) of vodka equals 1.5 fluid ounces of 90 proof alcohol and this has about 100 calories. So, how exactly does Skinnygirl make low-calorie vodka?
The simplest way to make a low-calorie drink is to lower the percentage of alcohol. As mentioned previously … Skinnygirl vodka is only 60 proof, so of course it has fewer calories. And no surprise, it actually hasmorecalories than the equivalent amount of common vodka that would yield a 60 proof drink.
To be fair, Skinnygirl is not alone. According to an article inBeverageMedia.com, calling low-alcohol beverages low-calorie is a full-blown trend. However, none are as big or as bold as Skinnygirl. And none are positioned as “natural”
So, what about those natural flavor claims? So far no response from Skinnygirl.

Actually, the standard jigger of vodka is 80 proof at 97-100 calories. 90 proof vodka would be a bit higher on the calories and is not a common proof of vodka.
