IMHO I don't drink fruit juice becuase I would rather use the calories on real fruit but it's not that bad.
I think it is more the alcohol is where you're going to get in trouble becuase it has no nutritional value. However I personally believe that it is ok to drink in very limited moderation. Normally I save it for a special occasions and plan it into my day so I don't go over my calorie limit (I'll have a lighter other meal or skip a snack).
I plugged the information into fit day for a sex on the beach and it is 200 calories. (The recipe I used was 1.5 oz vodka, .5 oz peach schnapps, 2 oz cranberry juice, and 2 oz orange juice). I might be a little off because peach schnapps isn't an item on fitday so I just used "Alcoholic beverage, distilled, all (gin, rum, vodka, whiskey) 86 proof" for it.
