Blended Raspberry Cocktail

Let ice be your ally this summer. By blending drinks with fruity flavors you ultimately consume fewer calories, says Giancoli. Another sip tip: Using tall glasses (10 ounces and above) means you'll refill -- and fill up on calories -- less often.

1/2 cup ice or several ice cubes
8 ounces Minute Maid Light Raspberry Passion
1 1/2 ounces vodka

Combine ingredients in a blender. Garnish with several fresh raspberries.

Soju is a korean liquor made from rice. There is no set alcohol percentage but I'm not sure if they have more strict laws regarding that in the U.S. (I lived in South Korea for a year) So in the U.S. you can find it at Korean stores, usually in a green bottle. It tastes like diluted vodka (easier to drink) but still pretty potent.
