Ketel One Botanical Cocktails – Refreshing and Low Cal

November 10, 2018 – As great as this time of year is, sometimes there’s an overload of pumpkin/spice/sugar flavored everything, including cocktails. Ready for something clean and refreshing? Ketel One Botanical to the rescue.

We love these Botanicals, all three of them. The flavors are so fresh and clean and that’s because they are real, not synthetic. There are no artificial flavors, sugars or artificial sweeteners added, so served over ice or with club soda there are only 73 calories in 1.5 ounces. The Botanicals are 30% abv so they are less alcoholic than vodka and other spirits, all good in a season of heavy partying.

These recipes are easy to make and sure to be crowd pleasers at any Thanksgiving celebration. Or gather your friends for a Girls’ Night In.
