Calories in Gin: Does Brand Make Any Difference?

June 15th, 2010  |  Posted by The Efficient Drinker

Unlike vodka, which is typically 80 proof, though sometimes 100 proof, gin brands vary in strength between those two numbers. So, yes, brand absolutely matters. And like distilled spirits, gin has zero carbs, juniper berry flavoring.

calories in gin martiniGin Calories and Proof by Brand

Brand Calories per Shot Proof
Beefeater Dry 114 94
Bombay Dry 104 86
Bombay Sapphire 114 94.4
Booth’s 109 90
Burnett’s 97 80
Gordon’s 97 80
Hendrick’s 107 88
Seagram’s 97 80
Tanqueray 115 94.6

How Many Calories are in a Gin and Tonic?

Obviously, that’s a loaded question since all gin and tonics are not made equally. If we use a breakdown of 6 ounces tonic and 2 ounces of 94 proof gin (a 3:1 ratio poured into a highball glass), its yields 194 calories. But, you could use more gin, weaker gin, less tonic, substitute club soda, and any other number of variables, so go ahead and take your best guess and put that into the virtual mixologist.

How Many Calories are in a Martini?

Another tough question. But again, we’re going to play around with some common numbers and throw those into the calculator app.

  • Dirty Martini: 135 calories (1.5 oz Bombay Sapphire, .25 oz extra dry vermouth .25 oz. olive juice, 3 olives)
  • Dry Martini: 132 calories (1.5 oz Bombay Sapphire, .5 oz. extra dry vermouth, 1 olive)

So, what’s the conclusion here? That I used too many rhetorical questions in this post. And that that the brand makes some difference due to strength. For the calorie conscious, it’s more important how much gin you’re drinking and what you’re mixing it with.

    This is an amazing case study. A couple of things I wanted to point out.1. The virality achieved was amazing, but still wasn’t the “hockey stick” style that people seem to expect… no matter how unrealistic the expectation is. Having 77 of the leads come from sharing though… is great. It’s probably because:2. The lowest level goals felt achievable. Getting 5 people to do something for a reward feels very plausible for most people. Having the stepped goals gave everyone something they could look forward to, but still provided fuel for:3. The influencers at the high end feeling like their efforts were worthwhile. It provided something for them to look forward to.Because they weren’t getting > 1 people signed up for every single signup they still had to do a LOT of work to market their idea and get the word out.They were willing to give away a lot. Some people don’t make the awards worthwhile. Giving away product to 3,000 people is not cheap… but probably cheaper than if they’d had to replace all the referrals with purchased traffic.[Moderator: link removed]Thanks,Josh Ledgard[Moderator: link removed]LikeLike
