When you’re paying attention to what goes in your glass, sugar is one of the first things to watch. Spirits like rum and liqueurs are known for being sweet, but what about gin? Is it sugar-free? Let’s clear things up and show you how gin stacks up — especially when you’re drinking something crafted like The Old G.
Straight gin — especially dry styles like London Dry Gin — contains no added sugar. That’s part of what makes it so clean. It’s distilled from grain or another neutral spirit, then infused with botanicals like juniper, citrus peel, and spices. No sweeteners, no syrups, no additives.
Gin isn’t sweet by design — it’s aromatic, herbal, and sharp.
Some gins, especially fruit-flavored or pink gins, may have sugar added after distillation. These aren’t traditional London Dry Gins. Always check the label — if it’s labeled as a compound gin or includes a flavor like raspberry or vanilla, it might contain sweeteners.
The Old G keeps things classic and clean — no added sugars, no artificial flavors, just premium ingredients.
Gin has roughly 97 calories per 1.5 oz shot — and zero carbs or sugar. That means you’re not getting a sugar spike or crash when you drink it. It’s a great choice if you’re watching your macros or cutting back on sugar but still want a good pour.
Your gin might be sugar-free, but your mixer might not be. Tonic water, for example, can have over 15g of sugar per serving. To keep your drink clean:
We use organic botanicals, oxygen-infused distillation, and no sweeteners. That gives you a smooth, layered flavor without needing syrup or sugar to make it taste good. Whether you sip it neat or mix it light, The Old G delivers clean flavor without compromise.
Gin is one of the best spirits for keeping it sugar-free — as long as you’re choosing the right bottle and mixers. With The Old G, you’re getting everything you want in a good drink: bold flavor, no additives, and zero sugar. That’s what clean drinking really looks like.
The Old G Gin is unlike any other. It’s smooth, with no burn, no bite, and none of the bitterness that defines traditional gin. Its bold flavor profile stands out, whether sipped neat or mixed into a cocktail.
