Many traditional premixed drinks can contain a surprising amount of sugar, adding unnecessary calories to an otherwise simple serve. If you're looking for a low-calorie premix, the spirit itself is a good place to start. Clear spirits such as vodka and gin are among the lower-calorie spirit options, and because they contain no sugar or carbohydrates on their own, they provide a straightforward base for a lighter ready-to-drink option.
But the spirit is only part of the equation. The flavours and mixers added to a premix can significantly change its sugar and calorie content. That's why we pair vodka and gin with natural fruit essences and extracts rather than fruit juice or sugary mixers. This gives our drinks their fruit-forward flavour without adding the sugar and carbohydrates naturally found in fruit juice.
The result? Low-calorie premixed drinks that don't rely on sugar to deliver flavour. Explore some of our best low-calorie premixed drinks and discover refreshing options made for enjoying without the unnecessary extras.
Which Premixed Alcohols Are the Best?
When it comes to creating a lower-calorie premix, vodka and gin are two of the best places to start. Both are clear spirits that contain no sugar or carbohydrates, while their relatively clean, neutral taste suits fruit-forward flavours.
At Clean Collective, vodka and gin form the foundation of our alcohol range.
Of course, choosing a low-calorie spirit isn't enough on its own. What you add to it matters too. Traditional premixes can use fruit juice, syrups or sugary mixers to create sweetness and flavour, which can quickly increase the calorie and carbohydrate content of the finished drink.
We take a different approach. Our fruit-forward flavours come from natural fruit essences and extracts, allowing us to capture the characteristic flavour and aroma of fruit without using fruit juice or adding sugar. This means you get the crisp, refreshing taste you'd expect from a fruit-flavoured drink, without needing sugar to create it.
The combination of a clear spirit and carefully selected natural flavours is what makes our drinks different. You get the character and kick of vodka or gin, balanced with vibrant fruit flavour, while keeping the finished drink low in calories, with no added sugar or carbs.
In fact, let's introduce you to some of those tasty choices now.

We’ve paired juicy pineapple flavour with clean vodka, and kept things beautifully simple. It’s tropical, refreshing and tastes like summer in a can. Basically, tropical island vibes without the long-haul flight.
