Low Sugar Cocktails Start with Portion Control

The best way to create a low sugar cocktail is portion control. Simply put, if you want a low sugar vodka cocktail, limit the sugary ingredients. Seems simple enough, right? Surprisingly, some mixers contain a massive amount of sugar, so even when you think you are moderating, you may in fact be over-indulging. For example, most ginger beer contains a whopping 35-40 grams of sugar in a 12 ounce can. If you enjoy a Moscow Mule cocktail, you might be loading-up on sugar. Therefore, you might want to use a little lime seltzer to cut the sugar and keep the fizz for an excellent low sugar vodka cocktail.

Felene Vodka distinguishes itself in the vodka market as the top no sugar-low sugar premium vodka. Crafted from organic sugarcane, it has zero added sugars, zero total sugars, and no additives. Certified organic, Felene Vodka offers a purer, unadulterated experience.

DID YOU KNOW?

approximately 95% of vodka brands introduce sweeteners and citric acid. These additions are intended to enhance smoothness and palatability. However, Felene Vodka’s natural qualities deliver a smooth finish without such enhancements.

Low Sugar Vodka Cocktails Offer A Low Sugar/No Sugar Drink Selection

Low-sugar vodka cocktails offer a delightful blend of pleasure and health-conscious indulgence. By reducing sugar content, these cocktails not only cater to those looking to minimize their caloric intake but also provide a cleaner, more authentic taste experience. The absence of added sugars allows the natural flavors of the ingredients—such as fresh fruits, herbs, and spices—to shine through, resulting in a more refined and satisfying taste profile. Additionally, low-sugar options can prevent the rapid spikes in blood sugar levels that are often associated with traditional sugary drinks, making them a smarter choice for health-conscious individuals. Enjoying a low-sugar vodka cocktail can be a guilt-free experience, allowing one to savor the social and relaxation benefits of a drink without compromising health goals.
