Non-carbonated alcoholic drinks are not packed with fizzy, bubbly, carbonated additions to the spirit.
These beverages make interesting options by combining alcohol with other ingredients such as lime water, mint water, and juices.
And due to the increasing demand for these drinks, new variants are being introduced in the market– bottled and canned.
