Does vodka have sugar?

If you’re diabetic or are on the Ketogenic or Atkins diet, sugar and carbohydrates are a huge no-no. But that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a few treats now and then—including cocktails with friends. Many alcoholic beverages have low or even zero sugar content, including vodka. If you’re trying to watch your caloric and sugar intake, you may wonder: Does vodka have sugar? Vodka doesn’t have sugar—in fact, it doesn’t have anything. It has no sugar, carbohydrates, cholesterol, or sodium. While it’s made of fermented grains or vegetables like potatoes, all its nutritional content is lost during the distillation process. So, the only thing you’ll find in a pure shot of vodka is ethanol and water. This makes vodka a more diet-friendly choice than other high-carb alcoholic beverages, including beer (12 grams of carbohydrates), margaritas (13 grams), sangria (27 grams), and pina coladas (32 grams).
