    1oz of light rum (barcadi) has 60 cal for an oz....is the 100 calorie drink (rum and diet) for 1 1/2 oz shot? In an 8oz glass that's a strong drink! For me anyway! :drinker:

    Long island ice teas have 5 different liquors in them plus sour mix and a few splashes of coke...vodka has about 60 calories per shot and tequila has about 90 so if you figure that the other 3 liquors will have about as much calories as vodka and then add in the sour mix and the coke there is all your calories....I read that sour mix has about 90 calories per 4 oz. Depending on how its made there could be more than one shot of each liquor in there which tacks on calories.

    Hard alcohol, vodka, rum, gin etc.. all average about 100 calories an oz its the mix that puts the majoirty of the calories into the drink so stick to diet pop, soda water, water or diet tonic.. to keep your mix drinks in check... if you are trying to lose weight remember alcohol burns before fat so anything you drink is what your body will burn first.before any fat or carbs.

    Forget liquers like kahlua etc.. those are loaded with sugar.. in the states.. there is flavored rum made with splenda and don't forget skinny girl margaritas... of course we don't have either of those options yet in Canada.

    like with anything else moderation is the key... good luck everyone... :)

    Great to have the chart listing several choices. I know my KIllian's has alot mroe calories than a light beer, but since it is so worthit, I just make sure to budget my calories for pure enjoyment. I do like other cocktails on occasion and it's nice to see where they stack up on the damage meter! :laugh:

    Holy cow. BTW - I looked up Strawberry daiquiris on here because (being from Louisiana) I love my daiquiris. Yeh... a 20 oz (which is "small" most places here) is 1123 calories! Holy cow! No wonder I need to lose weight.

    Rum and diet coke it is.

    I've also made mojitos at home with fresh limes, mint, rum and diet cherry 7Up. Very tasty.

    Yeah--I like Vodka and Diet--which is about 60-90 calories--depending on how big your drink is--!! :) hehe
    Also--I really like Mich Ultra--which has 73 cal/bottle or Bud Select 55--which is only 55 calories but seems to be watered down a tad!! :0
