If you’re watching your calories, a drink or two could spell dietary disaster at tonight’s party. Consider the calorie counts on these:
Margarita, 6 oz., 407 calories
Rum and Coke, 12 oz. 369 calories
Pina Colada, 8 oz. 312 calories
Mai Tai, 5 oz., 306 calories
Mudslide, 12 oz., 820 calories
Instead, pick these drinks that total under 300 calories each:
Bloody Mary, 5 oz.
Gin Gimlet. 2.5 oz.
Mimosa, 6 oz.
Scotch and club soda on the rocks, 1.5 oz.
Whiskey Sour, 3 oz.
Sangria, 4 oz.
Cheers and happy new year!
