Coffee liqueur calories come to 175 for a 1.5 fl oz shot (52 g) and 336 per 100 g. Look at the sugar line first: one shot carries 19.9 g of sugars and almost no protein, fat or fiber. Each extra pour adds the same amount again, so the number of shots sets your total.

One shot is 175 calories, three are 524
The standard pour here is a 1.5 fl oz shot weighing 52 g, and it lands at 175 calories. That is 9% of a 2,000-calorie daily value before you add a mixer, cream or anything to eat. One shot on its own is a modest number. The trouble is that liqueur rarely stops at one.
Double the pour and you reach 349 calories. Three shots, a common count over a long dinner or a round of mixed drinks, come to 524. Five shots total 874 calories, which is more than many full meals, and none of it brings protein or fiber along. The scale is close to linear, so you can estimate any evening by counting glasses.
Per 100 g the figure is 336 calories, or 17% of the daily value. That weight is roughly two shots, and it is a handy reference if you pour into a measuring glass instead of a jigger. If you free-pour, assume your shot is bigger than 52 g, not smaller.
Carbs make up 98% of the macro calories
The calorie split is lopsided. Carbohydrate accounts for 98% of the calories that come from macronutrients, fat covers 1%, and protein rounds to 0%. Per 100 g you get 46.8 g of carbs, 0.3 g of fat and 0.1 g of protein. The rest of the energy comes from the alcohol itself, since this version is 53 proof.
Most of those carbs are sugar. Of the 46.8 g of carbohydrate per 100 g, 38.3 g are sugars and fiber is 0. In plain terms, coffee liqueur is sweetened spirit with coffee flavor, and its nutrition panel reads like a syrup more than a coffee.
That has a practical upshot. A shot will not fill you up, because there is no protein, fat or fiber to slow it down. If you are counting calories, treat it like dessert in a glass and budget for it the same way.
Sugar is the row to watch, sodium is not
A single 1.5 fl oz shot holds 19.9 g of sugars, and 100 g holds 38.3 g. Two or three shots stack that quickly, and sugary mixers push it higher. If you track added sugar, this is the number that will move your day, not the calories alone.
Sodium, by contrast, barely registers. One shot has 4 mg, which shows as 0% of the 2,300 mg daily value, and even five shots reach only 21 mg. Saturated fat is 0.1 g per 100 g and cholesterol is 0. Potassium is 30 mg per 100 g, too little to matter.
So the panel is simple to read. Almost everything outside the calorie and sugar lines is close to zero. If you watch sodium or fat, coffee liqueur on its own is not your problem. If you watch sugar, it is.
Cream swaps some sugar for fat
The card also lists coffee liqueur with cream, a 47 g serving at 154 calories. That is 8% of the daily value, a little under the 175 for a straight shot, partly because the serving is lighter and partly because cream dilutes the liqueur. The profile shifts noticeably.
Carbs drop to 9.8 g and sugars to 9.3 g, roughly half of what a straight shot carries. Fat climbs to 7.4 g, protein rises to 1.3 g, which is 3% of the daily value, and sodium reaches 43 mg, or 2%. You trade sugar for fat, and the drink feels richer and more filling.
For a night out, the creamy version is the easier one to stop at. Sipping a single drink slowly with food beats a string of quick shots, whichever style you choose. If you want a record without measuring, BodyPal can log the glass from a photo.
How does coffee liqueur compare?
Here is how coffee liqueur stacks up against orange liqueur, Tito's vodka and scotch, per 100 g and per usual shot.
Verdict: For the lowest count, pick vodka or scotch: 97 calories a shot and 0 g carbs, against 175 for coffee liqueur. If you want something sweet, orange liqueur is the lighter liqueur at 126 calories a shot and 279 per 100 g.
