High-Sugar

BrewDog
Zest X-Press Spiced Cider

Good flavor, but a hella syrupy mouthfeel makes it hard to recommend.

St. Agrestis
Phony Negroni

Kind of a lot of sugar, but it really tastes like a Negroni.

Pathfinder
Negroni (Premixed)

The best premixed NA Negroni tried so far — better than DIY versions built from separate NA spirits.

Lyre's
Margarita (Premixed Can)

Fine enough, but not great, and not worth the sugar.

Leitz
Eins Zwei Zero Sparkling Riesling

Bordering on too sweet, but refreshing and nice in a wine glass at a party.

Leitz
Eins Zwei Zero Rosé

A bit on the sugary side, but refreshing and nice in a wine glass at a party.

Lyre's
Dark 'N Spicy

A ginger mixer with real bite, standing in for a Dark 'n' Stormy — just sugary.

Hella Cocktail Co.
Bitters & Soda Bittersweet Spritz

More sugar than expected, but a nice bitter, refreshing flavor that reads as "a thing."

Roots Divino
Aperitif Rosso

An excellent sweet vermouth substitute — just quite high in sugar.

Roots Divino
Aperitif Bianco

Spicy and yummy on its own terms — a good dry vermouth replacement, if a little sweet.

Lyre's
American Malt and Cola

A super tasty jack-and-coke stand-in, just not special enough — and a lot of sugar (17g).

St. Agrestis
Amaro Falso

Freaking delicious if you already liked Amaro — like Amaro with a slight note of cola.

Lapo's
Amaro Cola

Not terrible, not amazing, and kind of a lot of sugar.

RSRV Collective
Amari & Orana

Really tasty, but in a "top-shelf soda" way, not a luxury-cocktail way — plus a lot of sugar and an opaque ingredient list.

Ish
"Aperol" Spritz

Super refreshing, tastes close to the real thing — just watch the sugar.
