Mikeâs Classic â 12 ounce bottle has 235 calories. Not terrible for a margarita like malt beverage. Margaritas are generally a pretty high calorie cocktail. Bud Light Lime-A-Rita â 8 oz can has 220 calories. So not too much difference, but per ounce it has more calories than Mikeâs. Mikeâs Classic Margarita is about 8.99 for a 6 pack. Which is comparable to 10.99 or so for a 12 pack of small Bud Light Lime-A-Rita cans. When it comes to taste, there really isnât a whole lot of difference.
