The cocktail that has more calories than a cheeseburger

Drink responsibly. - by Laura Barry

The cocktail that has more calories than a cheeseburger

We’re all well aware that fast food and junk food is bad for us, thanks to the high calorie content and low nutritional content, but did you know that your Friday afternoon drinks and cheeky weekend frothies could be just as high in calories?

UK-based diet Guru Terri-Ann Nunns told The Sun that there is one cocktail in particular that really packs in the calories – Long Island Iced Tea.

This boozy beverage usually contains somewhere around 400 calories thanks to the vodka, gin, rum, triple sec, tequila and cola used to make it.

In fact, according to the McDonalds website, a cheeseburger usually comes in at around 300 calories per serve – that’s 100 calories less than one cocktail. 

Low-calorie alcoholic beverages

  • Vodka
  • Dry white wine with a low alcohol content
  • prosecco
  • Beer
  • Mojito
  • Gin and zero-sugar tonic
