How Many Calories Are In A Shot Of Casamigos? | Fast Facts

Why A Casamigos Pour Lands Around 97 Calories

Tequila calories come from one place: ethanol. Ethanol supplies 7 calories per gram, so the number in your glass depends on alcohol strength and pour size. Casamigos core expressions list 40% alc/vol on their product pages, which aligns with the standard 80-proof baseline.

In U.S. bars, a 1.5-ounce jigger of 40% ABV spirits equals one “standard drink,” defined by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism as 14 grams of pure alcohol. That amount delivers roughly 97 calories when poured straight—no sugar and no carbs in the liquid itself. You’ll see the same figure across most 80-proof distilled spirits when served neat.

Casamigos Types, Pour Sizes, And Typical Calories

The brand’s styles—Blanco, Reposado, Añejo, and Mezcal—sit at similar strength for straight pours, so the math doesn’t swing wildly from one to the next. The main swing comes from how much you’re poured.

Casamigos Expression	Serving Size	Est. Calories
Blanco (40% ABV)	1 oz	≈65
Blanco (40% ABV)	1.5 oz	≈97
Blanco (40% ABV)	2 oz	≈130
Reposado (40% ABV)	1 oz	≈65
Reposado (40% ABV)	1.5 oz	≈97
Reposado (40% ABV)	2 oz	≈130
Añejo (40% ABV)	1 oz	≈65
Añejo (40% ABV)	1.5 oz	≈97
Añejo (40% ABV)	2 oz	≈130
Mezcal (40% ABV)	1 oz	≈65
Mezcal (40% ABV)	1.5 oz	≈97
Mezcal (40% ABV)	2 oz	≈130

Once you set your daily calorie needs, it’s easier to fit a neat pour into the day without guesswork. Straight tequila brings ethanol calories only; the rest of the total comes from what you add around it.

How The Number Is Calculated

There’s a simple way to see where 97 comes from. A 1.5-ounce pour is 44 mL. Multiply by ethanol’s density (about 0.789 g/mL) and the 40% alcohol by volume to get grams of pure ethanol. Then multiply by 7 calories per gram. That lands right near the mid-90s. The same math scales up or down with bigger or smaller pours.

If a bar stocks a limited release at slightly higher proof, the number ticks up a bit; if you ask for a one-ounce taste, it drops. The spirit’s age (Blanco vs. Reposado vs. Añejo) doesn’t add carbs or sugar when sipped neat.

Pour Size, Proof, And What Changes The Count

Standard Jigger Versus A Heavy Hand

Most cocktail bars measure. At home, a free-pour often creeps toward two ounces, which jumps the math from ~97 to ~130 calories. For a slow sip on a big ice cube, some drinkers prefer just a one-ounce pour to keep calories in check while enjoying the flavor.

When The Label Reads 40% ABV

Casamigos lists 40% alc/vol on its core pages, the same strength used for U.S. “standard drink” charts. That’s why the calorie figures here mirror what you see for other 80-proof spirits.

Do Mixers Add Calories?

Plain tequila doesn’t carry sugar, but mixers swing totals fast. Citrus juice, sweet liqueurs, simple syrup, or bottled sodas push the count well beyond the number in the straight spirit. Soda water and a squeeze of lime keep the total near the base spirit’s calories. Tonic, even the classic kind, adds more than people expect.

For reference, a 1.5-ounce shot of 80-proof spirits sits near 97 calories on the MedlinePlus calories chart, and the NIAAA standard drink is set at 14 grams of ethanol. Those two facts explain the range you see in the tables here.

Smart Orders That Keep Flavor And Trim Calories

Neat Or On The Rocks

Ask for a one-ounce pour if you’re pacing. You’ll still taste the agave, oak touches in Reposado or Añejo, and the minerality in Mezcal—without doubling the energy for the glass.

Highballs With Balance

A tall glass with 1.5 oz tequila, soda water, and a squeeze of lime lands close to the base number. Skip syrups and premade mixers if your goal is a lighter total. Classic tonic adds calories; diet tonic keeps it near zero.

Classic Sours, Smarter Specs

At home, build a skinny sour with 1.5 oz tequila, fresh lime, and a modest drizzle of agave. Measure the sweetener; a single ounce of syrup can add 60–80 calories by itself.

Mixer Impact: What Common Add-Ins Contribute

Mixer (Typical Amount)	Added Calories	Notes
Soda Water, 4 oz	0	Effervescence, no sugar
Diet Tonic, 4 oz	0	Sweetened with non-nutritive sweeteners
Classic Tonic, 4 oz	~40	Regular sugar adds up fast
Fresh Lime Juice, 1 oz	~8	All from natural sugars
Orange Juice, 4 oz	~56	About 14 cal/oz on average
Simple Syrup, 1 oz	~60	Equal parts sugar and water
Agave Syrup, 1 oz	~60–80	Varies by brand density

Blanco, Reposado, Añejo, Or Mezcal—Does Style Change Calories?

Not when you drink them straight at the same proof and volume. Aging shifts aroma and flavor, not ethanol content. That’s why a neat ounce of Añejo matches a neat ounce of Blanco for calories. Some specialty bottles may run a touch higher proof; if the label shows a bump, expect a slightly higher number for the same pour size.

Carbs, Sugar, And Gluten Questions

Distilled tequila contains no carbohydrates and no protein. Calories come only from alcohol. If you choose flavored products, cream liqueurs, or pre-mixed cans, check labels—those add ingredients change the math. Traditional straight tequila is naturally gluten-free due to distillation; the same is true for most unflavored spirits at 80 proof and above.

Portion Tips For Bars And Home

What To Ask For At A Bar

When you want to keep totals steady, ask for a measured 1 oz or a classic 1.5 oz. If you like long drinks, pair tequila with soda water and fresh citrus instead of bottled mixers.

How To Measure At Home

Use a jigger with clear marks. The narrow side is often 1 oz; the wider side is 1.5 oz. If you don’t have one, measure with a tablespoon: three tablespoons equals about 1.5 oz.

When You’re Tracking Daily Intake

Logging helps. If your daily target is tight, pick the one-ounce neat pour, or keep mixed drinks simple and low-sugar. That approach keeps the total from creeping while you enjoy the flavor.

Safety And Sensible Serving

Stick to moderate patterns. One to two drinks spaced out with water keeps pace manageable. If you plan to drive, skip the alcohol. When you want the flavor without the alcohol, reach for a zero-proof mixer or ready-to-drink NA option.

Bottom-Line Math You Can Use Tonight

Set your pour first. A single ounce is ~65 calories, the standard jigger near 97, and a generous two-ounce pour about 130. Keep mixers simple if you want the total to stay close to the base number.
