There’s nothing like the tastes of our childhood to bring back fond memories, even now that we’re adults. In fact, most of us can still get excited when we hear the sound of the ice cream truck. And, who can resist the taste of its delicious and decadent delicacies. Only now, many of us enjoy them in drink form. But, even our adult treat can be saddled with calories.

But, now it seems you can have your cocktail and drink it too with some low-cal treats that taste just like the “real think”.

How about a creamy guilt-free creamsicle martini? It’s only got 109 calories, 0g fat, 69mg sodium, 2.5g carbs, 0g fiber, 0.5g sugars, 0g protein.

1.5 oz. orange-flavored vodka (like Smirnoff Twist of Orange)

1 tbsp. Cool Whip Free
