Calories or cocktails ?

We are nearly halfway through January how are the new year diets and exercise regimes going ??
This picture of a cocktail on a beach spurs me on I must admit!!
Have you ever stopped though to look at exactly how many calories are in your favourite tipple ? All the hard work you have done to shred those pounds could be damaged by a few drinks

What’s your favourite cocktail ? Mine is probably a strawberry daiquiri although I do like to sample the menu !!
You may change your mind though when I tell you calorie content ….

Mai Tai – as much as 620 calories!

Frozen Margarita – anything from 500-700 calories!

Piña colada close to 600 calories

Mud Slide 556 calories!

Long Island Iced Tea – 430 calories at least! My husband’s favourite

Bahama Mama – 350 calories!

Sex on the Beach – 330 calories!

If you think of what our recommended calorie daily intake is ,just 4 cocktails and we are done !!

There are options though so if you don’t want to blow all your hard work then why not try an alternative with less calories ?

Mojito is only around 200 calories

If you still wanted a chocolate fix then try a chocolate martini coming in 100 calories less than the mudslide at 438

If you still fancy something creamy then try a White Russian 257 calories

Cosmopolitan comes in at only 213 calories

The winner goes to ” Tequila Sunrise ” only 170 calories !!!

I knew that cocktails wasn’t fat free but I am shocked about exactly how many calories are in them !

How about you are you shocked ? Would it make you swap your favourite cocktail ? Or do you think stuff it I’m on my holidays?
