Long Drink Zero Sugar

Long Drink Zero Sugar is a canned, pre-mixed drink sold in the seltzer category, and the name tells you its main point: it is made without sugar. Drinks in this style are usually light and dry rather than syrupy, so expect a crisp, carbonated profile with a clean finish. The listing doesn't give the flavor, ABV or can size, so check the can for those before you buy. Because it is ready to drink, nothing needs to be measured, shaken or garnished. Open the can and pour. It is best served well chilled. Keep it in the fridge or on ice long before serving, since carbonated drinks like this taste flatter and sweeter-seeming as they warm. For a tidier pour, use a highball or rocks glass with plenty of ice. Drinking straight from the can is just as reasonable for picnics, patios, tailgates and other places where glassware is awkward. A zero-sugar, lightly dry drink like this usually works with salty and savory food. Good matches include chips and dips, grilled chicken or fish, tacos, pizza, and sharp cheeses. The restrained sweetness lets it cut through fried or salty dishes without fighting them. It also suits grab-and-go situations, such as a cooler for a day out, a few cans for a get-together, or something cold to pour while dinner is being finished.
