    that could be right/ I have a different infused vodka that is 55 calories/1.5 oz. Are you sure there is nothing on the bottle?

    Unfortunately, there is nowt on the bottle, which I find very odd.

    I've never seen a bottle of wine or spirit with nutritional information listed. Pretty much only beer and cider - and even then it is often only on the retail package and not the can or bottle.

    Just out of curiosity - do you plan to make mixed drinks or drink it straight?

    Edit: and I read your post as "Unfortunately there is a newt in the bottle" and I laughed.

    these infused vodkas you can drink straight. They are flavored and not as strong as straight vodka

    Hahaha :) Nowt is slang for nothing here in the UK. If there was a newt in the bottle though, I'd be running. Hate amphibians. I just drink it as it comes in the bottle.

    You can drink non-infused vodka straight as well (source: every Russian I've ever met).

    I was curious because I'm always interested in new drink ideas and I haven't had this particular infusion yet.

    Love a couple of vodkas a week. They come p as 110 calories for a double on the MFP one I always put in, Generic Vodka.

    I asked pretty much the same question when I joined this MFP.
    Funny how making a decision to go on a diet, you check out all your priorities first!
    It does add up after a few pints, LOL, just joking :)

    No no ... it's all good. I was just clarifying why I was asking. :)

    I'm swimming and I've drunk about 150ml. I'm drunk. Vodka is the only thing I've come across that does this effect to me. Glad I did not drink 350ml, I would literally be on the floor.

    That's right. Priorities. ;)

    Friday and Saturday nights I drink quite a bit of vodka mixed with water and a tad of that Mio water flavoring or some similar generic. It's my regular ritual. Gets the job done.

    About 90 to 100 calories in a shot of flavored vodka. 60 in a shot of non flavored.

    You are drinking half a bottle of vodka? You should probably look into that issue first before worrying about the calorie content.

    I agree. Why the hell are you stopping when you still have half a bottle to go?

    You should try infusing your own with vodka, diet sprite/7-Up, and some of those 0 calorie drink flavor thingies (MIO comes to mind). If it's really 15% alcohol, you could mix up your own with a couple shots and have a larger bottle that lasts you all night for less calories.

    Maybe there's a reason why I stopped drinking...
