Actually, I watch everything I consume carefully and 2 of the drinks in the DtB arsenal that are the least harmful are the Navy Grog and 151 Swizzle.

Calories are not your problem. All calories are not equal. Think carbs instead and you'll see that the Zombie is fairly low carb. The Navy Grog gets some from the honey, but I have a sugar free honey that works well.

Lime juice is maybe 2.5 carbs per ounce, but most think it is carb neutral due to its nature. I include the lime in the calculations here anyway.

By my calculations:

Drink / Carbs
Zombie / 8
Navy Grog / 4
Test Pilot / 7
2070 Swizzle / 6
Jet Pilot / 4.5
Rum Barrel / 12-13
Outrigger / 8
Jasper's Jamaican / 3
Nui Nui / 7
Black Magic / 6
151 Swizzle / 1

As a nice reward, any of these works for me.
