Although cocktails are really delicious and fun, they carry a lot of empty calories. Some drinks are worse than others, but if you’re trying to lose weight, it’s good to know what drinks to steer away from. Here is a list of the best and worst drinks you can get out at a bar.
Long Island Iced Tea

There are about three shots of alcohol in this drink, which is bad enough, but then sour mix and Coca-Cola is added in too. With all that in mind, there is no use having a drink that is as calorie heavy as a meal.
White Russian
The Big Lebowski was called ‘big’ for a reason. Oftentimes bars will make this drink with heavy cream or at least whole milk, which is really fattening and calorie dense.

A cosmo is actually one of the drinks that is lower in calories! Because it uses only lime juice and some cranberry juice, chances are the calories will stay fairly low across the board.
Mojito

Mojitos are also low in calories because they use fresh lime juice and club soda, which have no calories. Although they can be a bit sugary, calorically you are still in the clear.
