This category features a variety of products, from alcoholic beverages to popular cocktail mixers like pina colada and margarita mixes, and even some gelatin mixes. When selecting these items, reviewing the Nutrition Facts label and ingredient list is helpful. Many mixers can contribute significant amounts of added sugars. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025-2030) advise limiting added sugars as much as possible. Look for sugar or other sweeteners high up on the ingredient list. For cream-based mixers, check the saturated fat content; the DGA recommends consuming less than 10% of daily calories from saturated fat. Sodium is another factor, particularly in savory mixes, with the FDA Daily Value at 2,300 mg. Understanding the serving size is crucial, as consuming multiple servings can quickly increase your intake of calories, added sugars, and fats. All values are shown per 100 g so products can be compared.
