SUGAR FREE Tippler’s Diary
Most cocktails have a lot of sugar, so don’t work well for those who are watching their carbohydrate intake. Here are the most common components of cocktails and how to cut the carbs in each.
Gin, vodka, tequila, whiskey and rum are distilled spirits that by definition have no carbohydrate.
Carbonated mixers are either naturally carb-free (club soda, sparkling water, plain water) or come in diet versions (tonic water, ginger ale, cola and lemon-lime soda). Tonic water contains sugar unless it is a diet-type.
Bitters are often used in cocktails, but usually in very small amounts of much less than a teaspoon. A tablespoon of bitters usually contains five to seven grams of carbs.
