Calories in Vodka

Sources show one ounce or shot of Vodka has 64 calories. Favored vodkas have around 69 calories per ounce adding 5 calories per ounce of vodka. Most drinks start with a jigger of distilled spirits. Distilled spirits include vodka, gin, rum, tequila, scotch, whiskey and more. A jigger measures 1.5 ounces and has around 96 calories as 1 gram of alcohol has 7 calories.

Since the calories in your drink come from amount of alcohol in the drink, the mixer you choose and the size of the drink how you make your vodka cocktail really matters.

When you mix drinks and add a sugary liqueur you can easily double the calories in your vodka drink before adding any other mixer. If you are making a simple vodka cocktail like a screwdriver adding 6 ounces of orange juice can add 84 calories or if you fan of cranberry juice 8 ounces can add 140 calories, 35g or carbohydrates and a whopping 35g of sugars. So the calories in a Cosmopolitan recipe can add up to almost 300 calories per cocktail.
