When it comes to choosing a “healthier” liquor, gin and vodka are two of the cleanest options out there. They’re both low in calories, have no carbs or sugar, and mix easily. But which one is actually better for you? We break it down so you can sip with confidence.
Both spirits go easy on the calories. A 1.5 oz shot of either gin or vodka comes in around 97 calories, with zero sugar and zero carbs. But here’s the thing — gin gets its flavor from natural botanicals, which means you don’t need sugary mixers to enjoy it. That’s a real edge if you’re trying to keep things light without losing taste.
The botanicals in gin — like juniper, citrus peel, cardamom, and coriander — aren’t just about taste. Some have been linked to digestion support and anti-inflammatory properties. While gin isn’t a health tonic, these natural additions give it a cleaner flavor and more versatility than vodka’s neutral profile.
Gin is typically mixed with soda or dry tonic, which tend to be lighter than the juice-based or syrupy mixers vodka is often paired with. That makes gin easier to digest for many people and less likely to cause bloating or sugar crashes.
The Old G is distilled nine times, infused with organic botanicals, and free from added sugar or artificial ingredients. Our oxygen-infused process makes it smoother to sip — so you can enjoy it straight, over ice, or with just a splash of soda. That makes it not only clean on paper, but clean in your glass.
If we’re just looking at numbers, they’re pretty even. But if you care about flavor without extra calories, clean ingredients, and how your body feels the next day — gin gets the edge. And if you’re reaching for a bottle that respects your standards, The Old G is the one to pour.
