20 Fat-Burning Secrets of The Grill

#19: Forego the mixers

Believe it or not, the grill is a great place to start prepping your next round of cocktails. For a smoky twist on a classic margarita, slice up some limes and toss them on the grill until they develop nice grill marks. Once they’ve cooled, juice them, and voilà: you have a smoky, flavor-packed drink base with only 30 calories and half a teaspoon of sugar. Add tequila and triple sec for a tasty margarita. (For comparison, the Master of Mixes margarita pictured here packs in 140 calories and more sugar than a Snicker's bar in every 4 ounce serving.)
