How many calories in a gin and tonic

Calories in a Gin and Tonic

The average number of calories in gin and tonic is around 97, according to most reasonable estimates.

But several factors can affect the question: How many calories in a gin? Here are some of the most important.

1. Amount: Is it a single or double gin? Quantity of tonic? Are you going for half and half or three-quarters tonic to gin?
2. Strength: Higher alcohol content in your gin results in more calories consumed.
3. Mixer: ⁠Regular tonic versus low or zero-calorie options. Tonic water can be pretty calorific - especially the ‘full-fat’ varieties!

Some tips to consider:

• We've struggled to find good zero-calorie tonics due to issues with artificial sweeteners. Diet tonics may be an option.
• For fewer calories, try gin and soda water instead of tonic. Soda water has no calories - and you can really taste the gin!
• Choose tonics like Fever-Tree Refreshingly Light with lower sugar content..

Drink responsibly: Excessive alcohol consumption can have negative health effects. Our motto is: 'Don't drink more; drink better'.
