A rum and Coke is a common cocktail. When made with Bacardi and diet cola instead of regular cola, this mixed drink allows you to consume fewer calories and preserve your low-calorie eating plan.

Bacardi Rum Calories

A rum and cola calls for a 1.5-oz. portion of rum. This serving size of Bacardi rum contains 96 calories. One hundred percent of the calories come from alcohol.

Diet Cola Calories

A 5.5-oz. serving of diet cola is added to the rum. This portion adds just 3 calories to the drink compared to 60 calories for regular cola. Diet cola in this amount also provides you with 0.5 g of carbohydrates and 0.2 g of protein.

Lime Calories

A Bacardi and diet cola is often garnished with a lime wedge. You generally do not eat the lime wedge, but you may squeeze the juice from the lime into your cocktail. This adds 2 calories as well as 0.5 g of carbohydrates.
