Mojito vs gin and tonic
A mojito has about 200 kcal, a single gin and tonic about 158. The G&T wins by 42 kcal.
The difference
42 kcal
Both get most of their calories from the sugar, not the spirit: sugar syrup in the mojito, tonic in the G&T.
Ask for light tonic and a single G&T is about 92 kcal. A double with normal tonic is about 246, more than the mojito.
On a summer evening, the second and third round make more difference than which one you order.
