21. Long Island Iced Tea — 620 calories, 77% calories from alcohol

What’s typically in it: 1.5 oz. vodka, 1.5 oz. rum, 1.5 oz. tequila, 1.5 oz. gin, 2 oz. sweet & sour mix, .5 oz. Coca-Cola

22. Margarita — 622 calories, 61% calories from alcohol

Nutrition Info: 622 calories, 54 g alcohol, 59 g sugar, 60.2 g carbs — 61% calories from alcohol.

Your lean gameplan: Most margaritas are entirely too large and made with an abundance of mix and added sugars. Rebuild it from scratch with less alcohol, no mix, and natural ingredients.

Make it with 1 shot of quality blanco tequila (1.5 oz.), fresh lime juice, a salted rim, a little agave nectar or Stevia, and muddled fruit of your choice — you’ll keep it under 200 calories, cut out more than 40 grams of sugar & carbs, and replace the artificial junk with fiber, antioxidants, and natural flavor. I like this recipe.

    Wow! Never really thought that a “drink” could actually have way more calories than a full meal. That is just crazy - thanks for the great breakdown of calories, sugar, etc. Very enlightening!

    If you get wasted at the end of the night and throw up does that cancel it out?

  • rnjbond

    Skip the pina colada entirely? That’s a defeatist attitude!

    Make it with light coconut milk, stevia, and frozen pineapple, along with rum. Blend it yourself and you have a tasty summer cocktail that won’t destroy your waistline.

      Brilliant. I suppose I’m a pragmatist and I realize that’ll NEVER happen if you’re out and about; HOWEVER, if you’re making home-made, that’s a bomb combination.

      Thanks for that, I’m going to have to test it out.
