80-proof vodka (40% ABV) is marginally less at 100 calories per 1.5oz (standard shot size). Generally speaking, a 90-proof vodka (45% ABV) ranks in at 110 calories per 1.5oz. If you’re still reading this, then you probably do care about your calorific intake so be wary of mixing your vodka with cola (even diet variations, but less so), fruit juices (they contain high amounts of sugar usually) or other non zero-calorie mixers regardless of how much better they might taste! Mixing vodka with diet cola usually adds one calorie per 8 fluid ounces.

On average, one can expect a typical shot to hold around 100 calories – if you mix the vodka with a diet tonic water (specifically chosen as it’s calorie free), you’ll find yourself at the lower end of the potential calorific intake from a night out, which is marvellous if you’re trying to lose weight or maintain. Sadly, there’s no ‘one-size-fits-all’ answer for this as each brand differs slightly depending on a variety of factors including base grain, flavourings and additives. I’m going to guess you’ve heard the term ‘beer belly’ at least ten times in your life, but have you ever heard the term ‘vodka belly’? Well no, neither have I and that’s probably because the calories in vodka are fairly low compared to other alcohols, which is yet another fantastic reason to make it your drink of choice. It’s a known fact that alcohol leads to weight gain, which is why I’m never surprised when someone asks me about calories in vodka, so I thought it right to shed a little bit of light on this subject (mainly so I can point them to this post and save some time in the future, these drinks aren’t going to drink themselves!) “How many calories are in vodka?”, “Will drinking this make me fat?”, “Can I drink vodka if I’m on a diet?” – these are questions I’ve been asked countless times in the last year alone by my friends, both male and female.
