How we count
Estimated for one drink made to its recipe at typical strengths, with the water the ice adds. Alcohol at 7 calories a gram, sugars at 4. Our method
Drinks topped with sparkling or still wine, and short, dry stirred drinks, need the fewest calories. Fewer calories doesn’t mean less alcohol: most of a dry drink’s calories are the alcohol itself.
