The answer mike is quite simple, there are approximately 69-100 calories in a single shot of Vodka and basic Soda water contains zero calories so its pretty much the calories from vodka.

This series covers the calories in alcohol, such as wine, beer and looks at low calorie alcoholic drinks. I have also included a post that covers the recipes of ten low calorie cocktails that you can get when you do go out. These articles are primarily for those who go out and either want to or have to socialize in environments that include alcohol. Consider these posts a work-in-progress as I will be adding and updating them as time goes by, with new recipes, more accurate calories figures and much much more.
