                                A standard 1.5 oz shot of pure, unflavored gin contains zero carbohydrates and around 97-110 calories, a figure that is comparable to other clear spirits like vodka and tequila. This low-carb, relatively low-calorie base has led many to believe that gin is a less fattening choice compared to other alcoholic beverages.
