Refreshing Libations Slenderized for a Guilt Free Indulgence

Overindulgence is the name of the game during the holiday season! Happy hours, office goodies, and family feasts can wreak havoc on anyone’s waistline. For those with a New Year’s resolution to regain their willpower, RA Sushi has created three new low-calorie skinny cocktails for a guilt free treat.
Slenderized to feature less than 200 calories each, the Lychee-teenie, Skinny Ninja and Thin Ginger are so full of flavor, the extra calories won’t even be missed. A light, fruity martini alternative, the Lychee-teenie is subtly sweet with the flavor of Asian lychee fruit, mixed with Voli Vodka and Monin Agave Nectar. A refreshing twist on a RA favorite, the Skinny Ninja includes Voli Lyte Vodka, the flavors of yuzu and pink grapefruit, plus Monin Agave Nectar and shiso, a basil-minty Japanese herb. The Thin Ginger features strawberry and ginger muddled with Voli Lemon Vodka, fresh citrus, and Monin Agave Nectar for a “berry” tasty resolution-minded libation.

Priced at $8 each, the skinny cocktails will be available from Jan. 1, 2012 to Feb. 29, 2012 at RA Sushi in South Miami (5829 SW 73rd St. in Miami, FL 33143). Visit any RA location to try a Lychee-teenie, Skinny Ninja, or Thin Ginger, or mix one up at home. For more information, visit www.RAsushi.com.
