Pineapple and Coconut Champagne Cocktail (70 calories) Drink this one while youâre on the beach â or just wishing you were. Pineapple sends some energizing vitamin B coursing through your system, while the coconut flakes add a bit of delicious texture â plus, coconut is rich in fiber, too.
But when it comes to alcoholic drinks, sometimes the calories don't register, even though a single chocolate martini has more calories than a McDonald's grilled chicken sandwich. In fact, 1 gram of alcohol has 7 calories, compared to only 4 calories for a gram of carbohydrates or protein. And calories add up even more quickly for mixed drinks than for beer and wine. The standard 1.5 ounce serving of 80-proof alcohol has 96 calories even before you add any mixers. A 6-ounce serving of orange juice has 84 calories, but add a shot of alcohol to make it a screwdriver, and the calories more than double.
