Gin lemon soda is a mixed drink made with gin, sparkling water, and lemon. It has a crisp, citrusy taste; using a sweetened lemon soda instead of plain sparkling water makes the drink sweeter.
Make gin lemon soda by combining gin and lemon juice over ice, then topping the glass with chilled sparkling water. Stir gently to keep the bubbles, and garnish with a lemon wedge or slice.
No. Gin lemon soda is usually made with sparkling water and lemon, while a gin and tonic uses tonic water. Tonic has a characteristic bitter-sweet taste, whereas sparkling water lets the gin and lemon stand out.
A classic London dry gin works well in gin lemon soda because its juniper notes complement the lemon. A floral or citrus-forward gin can also be used, though it will give the drink a different aroma and flavor.
Yes, but the drink will be sweeter. Plain sparkling water keeps the flavor crisp and lets you control the lemon, while a sweetened lemon soda adds sweetness and a stronger lemon flavor.
Gin lemon soda made with plain sparkling water and fresh lemon usually has no added sugar. A version made with sweetened lemon soda can contain sugar, so the mixer you choose makes a difference.
There is no fixed alcohol content for gin lemon soda; it depends on how much gin is poured and how much sparkling water is added. Without the recipe or serving details, an exact strength cannot be given.
No, gin lemon soda does not normally contain caffeine when it is made with gin, lemon, and plain sparkling water. Check the mixer if you use a flavored or packaged product with additional ingredients.
Yes. Replace the gin in gin lemon soda with a non-alcoholic gin alternative, or leave it out and use sparkling water, lemon juice, and ice for a simple citrus drink.
It is best to make gin lemon soda just before serving because the sparkling water loses its fizz over time. You can chill the gin and prepare the lemon in advance, then add the sparkling water at the last moment.

Gin lemon soda combines gin, soda water and lemon in a simple mixed drink with no single established place of origin. It is usually poured over ice, with lemon juice or a wedge bringing a bright, lightly tart note. Recipes vary: some keep it to these ingredients, while others add a little sweetener.
It is commonly ordered at bars or mixed at home as a casual aperitif, often before a meal or alongside snacks. The drink is sparkling and citrusy, with gin’s distinctive botanical flavour; without added sweetener, it is typically low in carbohydrates. It contains 1.2 g of carbohydrate per 100 g. For a lighter-tasting serve, use a modest pour of gin and top up with soda and lemon.
