About Carbonated beverage, tonic water
Tonic water is a carbonated beverage flavored with quinine, which gives it a distinctive bitter edge, then sweetened to balance that bitterness. It is most familiar as a mixer, classically with gin, but it is important to know it is not the same as plain club soda or seltzer.
Per 100 grams it provides about 34 calories and 8.8 grams of carbohydrate, essentially all added sugar, with about 12 milligrams of sodium and no caffeine. A 12-ounce serving comes to roughly 125 calories and 32 grams of sugar — close to a regular soda, despite tonic water's clear, fizzy-water appearance.
The common mistake is treating tonic water like calorie-free sparkling water; in fact its sugar and calories are similar to a soft drink. For the fizz without the sugar, club soda, seltzer or a diet tonic are the swaps. Regular tonic water is best counted as a sweetened drink, not a zero-calorie mixer.
