Tequila calories: bottles, shots and cocktails

Wondering how many calories are in a bottle of tequila, a single measure, or even in popular tequila cocktails? If you’re watching your intake but still want to enjoy life’s pleasures, we’ve got you sorted. We’ll also share cocktail ideas that suit a balanced lifestyle while allowing you to savour the premium tequila experience.

How many calories does a bottle contain?

Tequilas are a low-fat alcoholic beverage but possess considerable caloric content owing to their high alcohol concentration. Standard tequilas typically contain between 190 – 220 kcal, depending upon the alcohol content, which generally ranges from 30% to 40%.

Concerning Olmeca Altos tequilas, here is the nutritional information regarding calories per 100 ml:

• Blanco Tequila Calories: 207 kcal for the 38% variant, 218 kcal for the 40% variant.
• Reposado Tequila Calories: 207 kcal for the 38% variant, 218 kcal for the 40% variant.
• Añejo Tequila Calories: 207 kcal.

As one can observe, all tequilas contain the same amount of calories. What about fat content? Well, all three tequilas contain precisely 0 grams of fat per bottle.

Calories in a shot of tequila

First and foremost, we need to clarify how much tequila is in a measure. Generally, a “measure” of tequila refers to a standard serving of 44 ml of tequila.

Therefore, if we take our Altos tequilas as reference, 44 ml of any type of Altos tequila can be either 91 kcal for the 38% variant or 95 kcal for the 40% variant.

How many calories do the most renowned tequila cocktails contain?

Finally, let’s examine how many calories several of the most celebrated cocktails that can be prepared with tequila possess.

• Paloma: It contains approximately 203 kcal, considering the Altos Paloma variant with 60 ml of Altos Plata, 60 ml of pink grapefruit juice, 30 ml of lemon juice, and 15 ml of agave syrup.
• Margarita: 60 ml Altos Plata, 30 ml of agave syrup, and 30 ml of citrus juice, making it roughly 230 calories.
• Skinny Margarita: This is a lighter version of the Margarita that contains around 130-180 calories. If you’re keen to prepare it, you simply need to combine 1 ½ ounces of Silver (Blanco) tequila (approximately 3 tablespoons), 3 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lime juice (roughly 1 large lime), 1 ½ tablespoons of freshly squeezed orange juice, 1 teaspoon of agave nectar (add 2 if you prefer it quite sweet), and salt and lime wedges for the rim and garnish.
