Tag: Mezcal calories

A 1.5-ounce serving of mezcal contains approximately 97 calories and zero carbohydrates, making it a lower-calorie option than many alcoholic drinks. But is mezcal healthy for weight loss, or is its reputation as a 'healthy' spirit overblown?

A standard 1.5-ounce shot of 80-proof mezcal contains approximately 97 to 100 calories, with zero carbs and zero sugar. This makes the smoky agave spirit a relatively low-calorie choice compared to many other alcoholic beverages and sweetened cocktails. The calorie content, like all distilled spirits, primarily comes from the alcohol itself rather than from sugars or carbohydrates.
