Question
What is the carbohydrate content of 360 Vodka? There is no label on the bottle and I am trying to figure out the sugar/carb content of their flavored vodkas. Thanks so much!

Answer
Hi Shay

Vodkas are distilled products, so unless they are sweetened and flavored AFTER distillation, they have no carbohydrates.  360 is no different from that---their vodka coming out of their still is carbohydrate-free.  But each one of their flavored vodkas is going to have a different level of flavoring syrup added to it, and most of those syrups will have sugar in them.

How much?  They aren't telling, and so far as I can see, no independent lab has tested them either.  If you are concerned about carbs alone, I would suggest that you stick to the unflavored vodkas.  And if you want to drink the flavored versions, I suggest that you use a rough estimate of about one-two grams per ounce.  But that will really vary depending on which flavor you choose.  

IF the good folks from 360 Vodka want to dispute that, they can start by announcing the real carb content on their flavored vodkas!
