    You'd want to be cutting a fair bit off the rest of your diet to be worrying about the calories in a drink.

    Either that or planning on drinking a lot of it.

    I presume you mean the orginal spiced one, in which case it has less calories than many gins per shot, or very close to it. Morgans is only 35% and most gins are 40%+ I think 37.5% would be the lowest you would get here.

    Per unit alcohol morgans will have a just a bit more calories as it must have a little sugar added which is the carbs value above, which is very low for the original.

    It is usually quite difficult to find info you can trust on drinks, because of the bizarre exemption of alcohol drinks from nutritional information labelling requirements. Always try searching the manufacturers website, and for your country as recipes, % and quoted shot sizes can change around the world.

    How is that not like gin? Gin like a lot of other spirits is in that range of calories per shot.

    The mixer is a bigger source of cals so sugar free options make a bigger difference than what spirit you choose
