How Much Is In Tonic Water?

Ok, so far in the above we have found out that club soda and seltzer are sugar-free. But how about that other popular mixer – tonic water?

How much sugar is in tonic water?

Well, I have already written a whole post on the sugar content of tonic water (What is the Sugar Content of Tonic Water) establishing the following:

• *Most tonic waters contain 7.4g-13.5g of sugar per 150ml serving. For example, Canada Dry Tonic Water contains 13.5g of total sugar per 150ml servings.

• *Most diet or light tonic waters contain 0g-4g of sugar per 150ml servings. For example, a 150ml serving of Fever Tree Light Tonic Water contains 4g of total sugar and Q Light Tonic Water contains 2.7g in a 150ml serving.

Unlike seltzer and club soda, both regular and light tonic waters contain sugar. But you guys are clearly here because you want a sugar-free version. So, does diet sugar-free tonic water exist?

Most grocery stores carry their own brand of diet tonic water. This is in addition to the big mixer brands that also make diet tonic water.  For example, I have listed three diet tonic waters from 3 big brands below.
