Low Calorie Gin and Tonic Recipe
To make this cocktail low calorie, I swapped out traditional tonic water for light or low calorie tonic water. Now I am not a fan of “diet” tonic as it is filled with fake sugars that can cause weight gain and basically take out the benefit of using the zero calorie option.
But thanks to the clean eating movement, we now have a few options of zero calorie all-natural tonic water. I have supplied you with my favorite below. I can find it in both glass bottles, and mini cans at the local grocery store.
