    Club soda is zero calories! Get a vodka soda with a splash of cranberry juice or lemonade! That would be so good!

    Tonic is like full sugar soda.
    I recommend a rum and diet coke.

    http://www.the-alcoholism-guide.org/alcohol-calorie-chart.html#axzz1ZIXyKIuU <---chart of cals in shots/wine/beer!

    Some good choices:
    Vodka lime and soda (single = 76 cal)
    Bacardi and diet coke (single = 65 cal)
    Jack Daniels & diet coke (single = 64 cal)

    Alternatively, take shots with NO CHASER (or water as chaser). Shots are usually 50-70 cals...plus you get a buzz faster and cheaper than mixed drinks, with no extra empty calories from mixer!

    According to the database on here, 1oz of Grey Goose vodka is 69 calories, 1oz of Tanqueray gin is 75. They're pretty close.

    Club soda is my go-to mixer of choice (I love a good vodka and soda), but diet soda is also good, especially with vodka, whiskey, or rum (coke or cherry coke are my faves for any of these). Gin & diet tonic is great, but bars pretty much never have diet tonic.

    Diet coke (no cals) and Jack Daniel's - each 1oz of plain whiskey has 65 cals, the lowest I'm aware of.

    JD honey whiskey
    Red Stag
    Tequila
    Vodka
    = 69 cals for 1 oz.

    I usually go with Captain and diet. I use the generic version and it is only 50 calories per shot. Not sure if Captain is 50 or higher!

    Also, Svedka and Smirnoff make some flavored vodkas that are low cal/carb that are tasty in diet Sprite! Love the cherry!
