How Many Calories Are In Casamigos Tequila? | Pour Facts

Here’s the bottom line in practical terms. A single jigger (1.5 ounces) of 40% ABV tequila lands right around 97 calories. That’s the standard U.S. pour, and it applies to unflavored tequila poured neat, on the rocks, or mixed—before any syrups or juices get involved. The number comes from ethanol itself and not from carbs or sugar.

Casamigos Tequila Calories By Pour Size

Casamigos labels its core tequilas at 40% alcohol by volume (80 proof), the same strength used to define a U.S. standard drink. That’s why the calorie math tracks closely from one expression to another when you keep the pour size the same.

Calories For Common Pours (40% ABV, Unflavored)

Pour Size	Calories (Approx.)	Notes
1.0 oz	65	Small sip; bar tasting
1.25 oz	81	Short pour
1.5 oz	97	Standard shot (U.S.)
2.0 oz	129	Double in many bars
2.5 oz	162	Large rocks pour
3.0 oz	194	Stirred sipper

“Standard” matters because it pegs alcohol content to a fixed serving. In the U.S., that’s 14 grams of pure alcohol per drink, which equals a 1.5-ounce shot at 40% ABV. You’ll see this definition on public health pages from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. Ethanol itself contributes the calories—about 7 kcal per gram—while unflavored tequila has no carbs, fat, or protein. For a quick sense check, many medical nutrition pages list 97 calories for a 1.5-ounce pour of 80-proof spirits, matching tequila at this strength.

Snacks and drinks fit better once you set your daily calorie needs. That way, a neat pour can land in your total without guesswork or surprise overages from mixers.

Why Blanco, Reposado, Añejo, And Cristalino Sit Near The Same Number

Casamigos publishes 40% Alc/Vol across its core range, including Blanco, Reposado, Añejo, and Cristalino, and even its Mezcal Joven is bottled at 40% Alc/Vol. When the ABV is the same, the calories per ounce are the same. Aging changes flavor, color, and aroma—not the ethanol amount in your glass at a given pour size. (See the brand’s product pages that show “40% Alc/Vol.”)

Proof And Calories: The Simple Formula

Here’s a tidy rule that works across brands:

• Standard pour (1.5 oz) at 40% ABV ≈ 97 kcal.
• Per-ounce estimate ≈ 65 kcal. Multiply by your pour size.
• Higher proof = more calories. At 45% ABV, a 1.5-oz pour pushes closer to ~109 kcal.

Casamigos Tequila In Mixed Drinks

The spirit alone is predictable; the mixer swings the total. Fresh citrus adds a handful of calories. Sweetened mixers and syrups add the bulk. Use these ranges as a planning tool at home or when scanning a menu.

Calories With Popular Tequila Serves (Using 1.5 oz Spirit)

Drink	Typical Calories	What Drives It
Neat / On The Rocks	~97	Alcohol only
Highball With Soda	~100–110	Club soda is 0 kcal; citrus splash
Ranch Water	~100–120	Sparkling water + lime; salt rim
Tequila & Tonic	~170–190	Regular tonic adds ~70–90 kcal
Paloma (Grapefruit Soda)	~180–220	Soda sweetness is the swing
Classic Margarita	~200–250	Triple sec + simple syrup
Frozen Margarita	~250–350+	Mixers and larger volume

How To Build A Lighter Casamigos Cocktail

Use fresh lime, switch to club soda, and keep any sweetener measured. Agave syrup gives great texture; a half-ounce can be enough if you balance it with extra citrus. Salted rims boost flavor without adding calories.

Label Facts, ABV, And Where The Calories Come From

All the energy in straight tequila comes from ethanol. Each gram of alcohol carries about seven calories. That’s why the math scales with proof and pour size. Public health pages also define the standard drink as 14 grams of alcohol, which aligns with a 1.5-ounce pour at 40% ABV.

Does Tequila Have Sugar Or Carbs?

Unflavored tequila is distilled, so residual sugars from agave don’t make it to the bottle. That’s why neat pours show 0 g carbs and 0 g sugar. Flavored products or cream liqueurs are a different story, but Casamigos’ core tequila line is unflavored.

How Bars Pour Versus Home Pours

Many bars pour 1.5 ounces for a shot and 2 ounces for stirred or rocks cocktails. If your local spot uses a heavier hand, calories rise in step. At home, measuring with a jigger keeps the count predictable.

Casamigos Expressions And ABV Snapshot

Casamigos publishes the same strength for its staples. You’ll see “40% Alc/Vol” on product pages for Blanco, Reposado, Añejo, Cristalino, and its Mezcal Joven. That consistent ABV keeps your calorie math simple across the lineup.

Quick Math You Can Use Anywhere

If you know the proof and the pour, you’re set. A handy estimate:

• Per ounce at 40% ABV ≈ 65 kcal.
• Per ounce at 45% ABV ≈ 73 kcal.
• Per ounce at 50% ABV ≈ 81 kcal.

Multiply by the ounces in your glass. That’s it.

Smart Orders That Keep Flavor High And Calories Low

At A Bar

• Order a rocks pour with a lime wedge.
• Choose club soda over sugary sodas.
• Ask for simple syrup on the side to control sweetness.

At Home

• Batch a light highball: tequila, soda water, fresh lime.
• When making margaritas, lean on citrus and salt; keep liqueur modest.
• Use a jigger for accuracy.

Common Myths, Cleared

“Aged Tequila Has More Calories.”

Color from barrel aging doesn’t add calories. If the ABV is the same, the calories are the same for an equal pour.

“Agave Spirits Have Sugar.”

Straight tequila is distilled from fermented agave juice. Distillation leaves sugar behind, so the neat spirit is carb-free.

“Margaritas Are Always Heavy.”

They don’t have to be. Swap soda for syrup and let citrus do the work. A measured sweetener keeps the drink bright and lighter.

How This Guide Was Built

Calorie values are based on standard drink definitions and widely cited nutrition references. A standard drink equals 14 grams of pure alcohol, which maps to a 1.5-oz pour at 40% ABV. Health resources list ~97 kcal for that serving of 80-proof spirits, aligning with tequila at the same strength. Where brand specifics matter, Casamigos shows 40% Alc/Vol on its product pages for the core lineup.
