High-Sugar

Tasty, but it drinks like a sweet soda — so the search for a great canned mule continues.

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

Expected to love this one; it lands cloying rather than rich.

Sweet and muddled, with nothing to anchor it.

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

Basically tastes like grape juice — not a very interesting flavor.

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

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

Tasty enough, but doesn't taste particularly grownup — adding Monday "mezcal" didn't help.

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

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

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

Drinks like a soda, not a mocktail or a beer — but a quite tasty one.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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