No matter what proof , gin, rum, vodka, and whiskey all have 0 grams of carbohydrate in a jigger . Have your drink neat, on the rocks, or with a splash of plain soda water. And it's best to pour your own rather than cracking open one of those pre-made spiked seltzers; one can deliver anywhere from 1 to 5 grams carbohydrate.
