Zero sugar. 0% ABV. Flavor-first.

Little Saints Editorial
Do zero‑sugar cocktails make a healthier swap than the classic pour?
Removing alcohol and added sugar reduces empty calories and helps many protect evening wind‑down and next‑day clarity. What matters next are ingredients, sweetness sources, and overall quality.

Quick take

Yes—when “zero sugar” also comes with 0% ABV and a clean label, it’s generally a more supportive choice than a regular cocktail. You’re cutting both alcohol and added sugar, which means fewer empty calories and fewer late‑night disruptions. Little Saints keeps the ritual while removing the usual downsides.

What actually makes it “healthier”

  • Less metabolic load: Regular cocktails combine alcohol plus syrups/juices. Zero‑sugar, zero‑alcohol options avoid the sugar spike and alcohol’s empty calories.
  • Better evening routine: Alcohol can interfere with deep sleep and next‑day clarity. A zero‑ABV, zero‑sugar pour respects recovery.
  • Cleaner sweetening: Not all “sugar‑free” is equal. Little Saints uses monkfruit for balanced sweetness without the artificial aftertaste many people call “too sweet” or “fake.”
  • Ingredients that serve you: Look for simple ingredients and functional botanicals. Little Saints cans are enlivened with organic reishi and botanicals for a refined, modern ritual.

When zero sugar isn’t enough

  • Hidden additives: Skip options loaded with artificial flavors or colors.
  • High‑sugar juice bases: Some NA cocktails still rely on fruit juices. Zero sugar on the label should mean 0g added sugar per serving.
  • Caffeine late at night: Choose flavors that match your moment; Little Saints Espresso Martini contains caffeine, while other flavors do not.

How Little Saints fits in

  • 0% ABV and 0g sugar per can; flavors are crafted to be adult and complex, not candy‑sweet.
  • Only five calories per serving in our variety packs, with flavor profiles built for proper glassware and garnish—so the ritual feels elevated.

Prefer the short path? Start with our Best Sellers Pack to sample four bar‑worthy, zero‑sugar classics.

Taste without the sugar crash

Concerned that zero‑sugar drinks taste “artificial” or overly sweet? That’s exactly why Little Saints leans on monkfruit and nuanced bitters, herbs, and citrus. The result is crisp, sophisticated flavor—built for a rocks glass, not a soda can.

Tip: Pour over ice, add a citrus twist, and let dilution open up aromatics—just like a classic cocktail.

Find your new evening ritual

Compare at a glance

  • Classic cocktails: Alcohol + sugar syrups/juices = more calories and a greater chance of disrupted sleep.
  • Little Saints zero‑sugar cocktails: 0% ABV, 0g sugar, only five calories per serving—crafted for flavor, composure, and a sharper morning.

If you’re choosing with wellness in mind, a high‑quality, zero‑sugar, zero‑alcohol option is the smarter nightly ritual.

What a great way to try St. Juniper and St. Ember. The amount is perfect for sharing with a friend or two. I wanted to compare before going for the big one. The bottles can be reused for liquids you can make cocktails out of. My favorite is St. Juniper with a little pomegranate juice.

I love this set!

I love the convenience of this set. I take it to the beach for a nice NA cocktail in front of the ocean. It’s good to have this option because I also like to stay hydrated while taking in the sun.

little saints... BIG TASTE!

I purchased the mini's which confirmed my decision to purchase the bottles! While they both offer a refreshing, delightful and flavorful alternative to actual alcohol, I must say the St. Ember is my true fave. I very much appreciate the alternative option and added benefits. I have shared these with friends and they are already in love as well. *cheers*

Two good spirit replacements for mixed drinks

As with all NA spirits, these don't taste good when sipped neat. But they were surprisingly good in mixed drinks like Gimlets and Margaritas. I'll definitely order a bottle of the St. Juniper, it's probably the best gin substitute I've tried

ben k.Verified Buyer

Just slip it in your cross body bag!

Easy to add to tonic or a soda with lime at your table while waiting on your food at a restaurant! Fantastic beverage alternative to alcohol.
