Easy Low-Sugar Drink Recipes with 50 Calories or Less

Feb 26 2026
Whether you’re skipping booze or just want a low-calorie beverage that’s not loaded with sugar, we have a handful of tasty creations that require just two or three ingredients! We took inspo from dirty soda (so many add-in options!), classic Italian soda (made with creamer and flavored syrup), the “Ameri-cola” trend (espresso over cola and ice), and other mocktails. The results are as easy as they are delicious…



Low-Sugar Italian-ish Soda

Place ice in a tall glass. Add 12 oz. low-sugar fruity soda (like Poppi Raspberry Rose or Orange). Top with 2 tbsp. vanilla cold foam creamer. Fun alternative: Use root beer for a Melted Root Beer Float! Entire recipe: 50 calories, 7.5g sugars.



Dr. Pepper Deluxe

In a tall glass, combine 12 oz. Diet Dr. Pepper, 2 tsp. chocolate syrup (light, if available), and 1 tsp. plain liquid creamer. Mix well. Add ice. Entire recipe: 35 calories, 7g sugars.



Ameri-Coke Zero

Place 1/2 tsp. instant coffee granules in a tall glass. Add 1 tbsp. hot water, and stir to dissolve. Add 12 oz. Coke Zero. Mix well. Add ice. Top with 2 tbsp. vanilla cold foam creamer. Entire recipe: 20 calories, 2.5g sugars.



Low-Cal Shirley Temple

In a medium glass, mix 6 oz. zero-sugar ginger ale with 1 tbsp. pomegranate juice. Add ice. Entire recipe: 10 calories, 2g sugars.



Virgin Açai Bellini

Spoon 1 tsp. açai puree from frozen packet into the bottom of a medium glass—we used a champagne flute! Gently add 6 oz. zero-sugar fruity soda (berry, lemon-lime, etc.); puree will settle. Entire recipe: 5 calories, 0.5g sugars.
