Gin Smart Picks Snapshot
Neat-pour-first decision paths for gin, plus a tonic-water carb checkGin is one of the cleanest base spirits on this site: every one of the 57 tracked gins sits at 0g carbs on its standard 1.5oz pour, averaging about 108 calories. Score and strength do the differentiating instead - Plymouth Navy Strength leads at 97.6 with 57% ABV, while most London Dry styles cluster in the mid-90s closer to 40-49% ABV. The carbs show up once tonic enters the picture: canned Gin & Tonics in this catalog range from Vapor's 3g carbs and 110 calories on the lightest end up to Social Hour's 15g carbs and 200 calories on the heaviest, with most landing around 8g to 11g. Pick the gin on score, then treat the tonic as its own decision.
