It probably depends on what's in it. There are all different types of daquiris. That might be just the standard. I assumed there'd be more calories as well.

Yep

Normally it is made with Kahlua, cream and vodka. However, I sometimes make myself a 'mock' white russian using only the Kahlua and skim milk. Not as good, but still tasty and way fewer calories. I use skim milk instead of cream and omit the vodka.

I'm impressed with the calories in a cosmopolitan, my favourite cocktail. I usually have a gin and slimline tonic when I'm out, just the one, it comes in pretty cheaply at about 50 calories. In our neck of the woods (a tiny industrial town in Northern England) no one would have any idea what a cosmopolitan is!!!

Wow, I HAVE to try the white russian! (I think I might use cream over skim/milk) I almost never have alcoholic beverages, but this would be my treat!

Mine too!!!

I am not a heavy drinker but these taste soooo good. I use to make them at home but since I found out the calorie content I havn't had one in a few months.
