I guess I assumed they'd have sugar left over since they're usually quite sweet and ginger beer must have sugar in it or is it a diet version?
hippy-
Yeah the extra firey one is 0, and well spicy and nice!
I thought the same about rum (as have a few friends questioning the keto diet and rum choice) but I've checked as many places as I can and looks legit that rum is either 0 or very low carb.
I guess whatever the process is of making it gets rid of all the actual sugar content.
Found this while looking it up, could be bullshit:True: rum does not have carbs. Those are either fully fermented or removed during the first distillation. So why does rum (and bourbon, and some whiskeys etc) taste sweet? Due to aromatic hydrocarbons being formed / released from the barrel during the aging process.

Most rums are 0 carbs (or <1 per measure) even though made from sugar (unless they are flavoured ones).
Mixed with Old Jamaica extra fiery ginger beer (which amazingly we found Wetherspoons do).
