Gin And Tonic Calories

When it comes to enjoying a refreshing cocktail, the classic gin and tonic is a popular choice. But if you’re watching your calorie intake, you might wonder: how many calories are in a gin and tonic?

A standard gin and tonic typically contains around 120-150 calories, depending on the serving size and the type of tonic water used. The calorie count largely comes from the tonic water, as gin itself contains about 97 calories per 1.5-ounce shot (with zero carbs, protein, or fat). Regular tonic water can add 80-100 calories per serving, thanks to its added sugar. Opting for a diet or sugar-free tonic water can slash those extra calories, bringing the drink’s total to under 100 calories.

For those aiming to enjoy a healthier happy hour, smaller portions, low-calorie mixers, or even crafting a "skinny" gin and tonic by diluting tonic water with soda water are great options.
