Low-Alcohol Spirit

Low-alcohol spirits are ones in which the alcohol has generally been reduced to 10-30% ABV, usually under the guise of being a healthier, more sessionable alternative to its full alcohol siblings. In combination with the emergence of the sobriety trend, low alcohol spirits have been growing in acceptance and continue to increase in availability.
