✦ Highest ABV mainstream drink: 40% ✦ 1 unit per 25ml standard measure ✦ ~55 kcal per measure ✦ No nutritional value

Distilled spirits at 40% ABV (whisky, vodka, gin, rum, brandy, etc.) are the most concentrated mainstream alcoholic beverages. A standard UK pub measure of 25ml contains 1 unit and around 55 kcal; a 35ml measure (Scotland) contains 1.4 units. They provide no meaningful nutrients beyond the alcohol itself. Mixers significantly increase calorie content; diet mixers keep calories minimal.

Preparation note

Measures matter: a generous home pour of spirits can easily be 50-75ml (2-3 units). Use a measure or jigger at home. Diet mixers keep calories low; full-sugar mixers can double the calorie count.

* % Daily Value is the proportion of an adult EU Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) supplied by 100g of this food. NRVs are the labelling standard — the same basis as the “%RI” figures printed on food packaging — so these percentages are directly comparable with a shop label. They are a single adult figure and do not vary by age or sex, which is why they sometimes differ from UK dietary reference values: the NRV for vitamin C is 80mg where the UK RNI is 40mg. When Nutriofia assesses your own intake in the reports and trackers, it uses the age- and sex-specific UK values instead.

Fibre is shown without a percentage. Our fibre values use the UK Englyst NSP method, while the published 30g daily goal is an AOAC figure — the two are measured differently and a single percentage would mislead. How we source and normalise our data →
