The 10 Highest & Lowest Calorie Drinks to Watch Out for Over Spring Break - Part 2 - Women Campus
Serving size: 7 oz..
Calories: up to 525
Ingredients: 6 oz.. vanilla vodka, ½ oz.. Godiva white chocolate liqueur, ½ oz.. green crème de menthe
If you ever thought you overdid it with Girl Scout Thin Mints, you've probably never met this drink. The Grasshopper Martini is a white-chocolate flavored Thin Mint blended with vodka. If that sounds good to you (and you don't mind the rather hefty calorie count), then proceed by all means!
7. Chocotini
Serving size: 6 oz..
Calories: up to 438
Ingredients: 2 oz.. vodka, 2 oz.. chocolate liqueur, 2 oz.. cream, ½ oz.. dark crème de cacao, melted chocolate confectionary coating
The Chocolate martini, or the "Chocotini," is the king of martini spin-offs after the Key Lime Pie Martini. With almost half the calorie content of the first drink on our list (but the same amount of deliciousness), this cocktail might be a nice compromise—even though it's still pretty extravagant.
8. White Russian
Serving size: 5 oz..
Calories: up to 425
Ingredients: 2 oz.. vodka, 1.5 oz.. coffee liqueur, 1.5 heavy cream
The main character in the Coen brothers' movie, The Big Lebowski, is a huge slacker—probably because he can't tear himself away from this cocktail. Drinking a White Russian is like drinking an ice cold glass of very, very whole milk. Which is just like Mom used to make it, right?
9. Brandy eggnog on the rocks
Serving size: 7 oz..
Calories: up to 422
Ingredients: 1.5 oz.. brandy, ¼ oz.. sugar syrup, ¼ oz.. tawny port, 3.5 oz.. milk, ¾ oz. cream, 1 egg yolk, ice cubes, nutmeg
To the uninitiated, eggnog is strictly a seasonal drink that's only good as long as the holiday cups at Starbucks last. But actually, eggnog is also served when the temperature rises—think of it as a booz.y milkshake that contains just as much dairy and more cream.
10. Key Lime Pie Martini
Serving size: ~5 oz..
Calories: 323
Ingredients: 1.5 oz.. key lime liqueur, 1.5 oz.. Absolut vanilla vodka, .3 oz.. lime juice, .3 oz.. freshly squeezed lime juice, 1½ oz. half-and-half
This drink presents the perfect opportunity to eat your dessert and have your cocktail too. Line the rim of your glass with graham cracker crumbs, and you'll find yourself in key lime pie heaven. Just don't try to count it as a serving of fruit.
10 Lowest-Calorie Drinks
1. Rum & Diet Coke
Serving size: 6 oz..
Calories: 65
Ingredients: 1 oz.. rum, 5 oz.. Diet Coke
This may seem too good to be true, and to some degree, it is. Even the stingiest bartender will probably give you more than one fluid oz.. of alcohol, since just one shot is 1.5 oz... But if you feel like taking it easy and enjoying the springtime weather without going in too hard, this mix should work for you.
