Consumer Insights – RTD Premixed Spirits 2025

RTD premix long drinks remain on-trend and are driving the spirits market with double-digit growth.* Manufacturers continuously introduce new variants to serve this convenient segment of the spirits market.

In 2023, every second respondent bought more than two cans or bottles of ready-to-drink spirits per purchase. A trend toward milder base spirits was also noticeable: one in three buyers said that premixed spirits with lower alcohol content should be offered.**

  • Who is already buying premixed spirits? How do premix cocktails and long drinks enter the “relevant set” of the target group?
  • Which types, product categories, and flavors are preferred in RTD drinks?
  • What package sizes of ready-to-drink long drinks are favored?
  • Which brands of premixed drinks are known by consumers (unaided/aided)?
  • Which spirit brands are bought with RTD mixed drinks? Are there primary and secondary brands?
  • Where are premixed spirit products expected to be found in stores?
  • How should a shelf with premixed spirits be arranged and products displayed?
  • What potential do non-alcoholic spirit premixes have?
  • Which other alcoholic beverages are consumed alongside?
