Frequently Asked Questions

How many calories are in a shot of vodka?
A standard 1.5 oz shot of 80-proof vodka contains about 97 calories. All those calories come from ethanol — vodka has zero carbs, sugar, fat, or protein. Higher-proof vodka has more calories because it contains more alcohol per serving.
Is vodka the lowest calorie alcohol?
Per standard serving, vodka (97 calories per 1.5 oz shot) is lower than wine (about 125 per 5 oz glass) and beer (153 per 12 oz can). However, all 80-proof spirits — gin, rum, tequila, whiskey — have the same calorie count as vodka.
Does flavored vodka have more calories?
Most premium flavored vodkas that use natural infusions contain roughly the same calories as regular vodka. Sugar-added flavored vodkas and lower-proof options vary — always check the label.
What is the lowest calorie vodka drink?
A vodka soda with a squeeze of lime is the lowest at about 97 calories. Tonic water, juice, and cream-based mixers can add 70 to 400+ extra calories per drink.
