If Dry January Feels Impossible, Try These 14 Low-Calorie Alcoholic Beverages Instead

Calorie count: Less than 200

“A margarita can contain anywhere from 160 to 400 calories depending on if it's made with fresh juice or a pre-made syrup—most of the margarita mixes are rich in sugars and calories,” says Yasi Ansari, M.S., R.D.N., a dietitian based in Los Angeles, California.

For a lower-calorie take on the Mexican-inspired cocktail, Ansari recommends drinking tequila with a squeeze of fresh lime juice (the lowest calorie option) or a Paloma. “It blends in juice rather than a syrup, keeping calories under 200,” she says.Aim to reach for 100% agave tequila, which means it's fermented from just the agave plant and doesn't contain additional sweet sources that may up the sugar content.
