Between office goodies, holiday parties and family feasts, it’s easy to overindulge during the holiday season. For the person who’s trying to maintain willpower or for those who need a little help with their New Year’s resolutions, RA Sushi is offering low-calorie “skinny” cocktails for a limited time.
Three classic cocktails, the Cosmopolitan, Mojito and Cucumber Margarita have been slenderized to feature less than 200 calories each. The Cosmo-teeny, Thin Mint Mojito, and Cucumber Slenderita feature TY KU Soju, TY KU Liqueur and sugar-free sweetener. The skinny cocktails will be available for $7 each, from Dec. 15, 2010 to Jan. 31, 2011 at both Orange County RA Sushi locations. www.RAsushi.com
