Hi, I am going out this weekend and was wondering what is the most syn friendly alcoholic drink, i quite like bacardi and diet coke put cant work out the syn value according to the measure. In other words per glass what is the drink with the least syns. Thankyou :)
 
Im not totally sure what you mean? If your talking spirits you just need to know if your glass is a single or a double. Sometimes pubs serve doubles as standards (for the £££) so its best to ask, or just specifically ask for a single if you're not sure, although again some pubs only have a double optic on the bottle. Also depends what optic your pub is using as a single can be 25ml or 35ml (so a double is 50ml or 70ml).

The syns book gives them per 35ml, thats probably better so you dont underestimate. All spirits are between 4 and 5.5 per single measure, heres the main ones:

4 syns
Bacardi
Brandy
Gin
Malibu
Rum
Vodka
Whisky

4.5 syns
Jack Daniels
Peach schnapps

5.5 syns
Southern Comfort
Tequila

Basically I would stick to one pub and check/ask what size optic they are using (it has the ml written on the front so you should be able to see without asking anyway, uless they use a thimble in which case you can just ask for a single anyhow) and stick to singles if you can. Obviously have it with diet mixer.
