Lemoncello

This super sweet concoction wouldn’t be the first choice on the health drinks list, but this little treat is surprisingly good for you. Lemon juice contains ascorbic acid, otherwise known as Vitamin C, which is essential for collagen growth in muscles, cartilage and bones. Vitamin C antioxidants also aid the immune system, which is why we take it to fight colds. A one-counce serving of lemoncello has about 103 calories and zero grams of fat (though the spirit does contain 10-11 grams of sugar). However, the Lemoncello served at Marco’s Coal-fired Pizzeria is made with a lighter version of simple syrup, which not only lowers the calories, it's also more refreshing. La dolce vita.
