Recipe
A Caesar cocktail is made with 1.5 ounces of vodka poured over a highball glass — typically 8 to 12 ounces — full of ice and filled with Clamato juice. Add a few dashes each of Worcestershire and Tabasco sauces and garnish the drink with a stalk of celery, the DrinksMixer website instructs.
Calories in Vodka
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Nutrient Database, 1.5 oz. of vodka, also known as a "jigger," has a varying number of calories depending on its proof. A jigger of 80-proof vodka has 97 calories, while a jigger of 100-proof vodka has 124.
Other Calories
Pour 8 fluid ounces — 1 cup — of Clamato juice into your glass, and you add 50 calories to your Caesar cocktail. The number of calories in a few dashes of Worcestershire and Tabasco is so negligible it doesn't contribute to your drink's calories total; a small stalk of raw celery adds only 3 extra calories.
Discretionary Calories
The calories in alcohol, sweets and fatty foods are known as "discretionary calories" — calories you have left over after you eat a healthy diet. Most people don't have as many discretionary calories as they think, particularly if they don't get regular exercise. On average, a physically inactive adult female aged 31 to 50 can have 195 discretionary calories, and an adult male of the same age is allotted 290, according to the USDA.
