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.**
