How Many Calories are present in a Shot of Vodka?

Hi folks,

I’m keeping track of my calorie intake and am curious about the calorie content of a standard shot of vodka. I know that different types of alcohol can vary in calories, so I’m looking for accurate information specifically for vodka.

Can anyone provide details on how many calories are typically in a 1.5-ounce shot of vodka? Any tips on how to make lower-calorie choices or how vodka compares to other spirits in terms of calories would also be helpful.

Thanks in advance,

One ounce of vodka is estimated to contain 67 calories in a shot. Given that a typical shot weighs 1.5 ounces, each one contains roughly 100 calories.

A standard 1.5-ounce shot of vodka usually packs around 97 calories. I’ve tracked this myself, and vodka is pretty lean compared to other spirits. If you’re looking to cut calories, maybe try mixing it with a splash of soda water and a lime instead of sugary mixers.

A 1.5-ounce shot of plain, 80-proof (40 percent) vodka contains approximately 96 calories.
