Another excellent clear spirit choice, 100% agave tequila mixed with soda water is clean and low in sugar. To make it ingenious and add a healthful zing, request fresh lime juice and a thin slice or two of fresh jalapeño (seeds removed if you prefer less heat). The capsaicin in jalapeño offers a hint of metabolism-boosting potential and anti-inflammatory properties, while the lime provides brightness. This combination is invigorating, crisp, and a world away from sugary shooters.

8. Amaro & Soda: The Bittersweet Digestive Delight

Explore the world of Amari – Italian herbal liqueurs known for their complex, often bittersweet flavors and traditional role as digestifs. Many Amari have a lower sugar content than other liqueurs and a moderate ABV. Served tall with plenty of club soda and a citrus twist (like orange or lemon), an Amaro & Soda is a sophisticated, refreshing, and surprisingly light option. The herbal notes can make for a uniquely satisfying sip that feels both traditional and contemporary.
