HOW MANY CALORIES ARE IN GIN

Gin contains relatively few calories compared to other alcoholic (and some soft) drinks:

Single measure of gin (25ml) with diet mixer = 54 calories

Single measure of gin with mixer or fruit juice = 108 calories

Medium glass (175ml) wine = 159 calories

Small bottle (330ml) beer = 142 calories

Pint of cider = 216 calories

Single glass champagne (125ml) = 89 calories

The evidence speaks for itself: so long as you make sure you are not accidentally doubling up on measures or going crazy on the sugary mixers*, a gin and tonic is a waistline-friendly option when you’re trying to stay trim!

*This is where the quality of the product comes into play. A high-quality craft gin won’t need lots of fake added flavours, as the botanicals in the gin will create all the taste you need!

Thank goodness for the quality gins that are selected for the Gin Box. This is music to gin lovers the world over. I’ll cheers to that.
