Aplós Menu Nutrition Breakdown For Bottles And Cans
Aplós offers two core spirits in 750-ml bottles and a growing line of sparkling cans. The numbers are tidy: per 2-oz pour, the spirits range from 5 to 15 calories with 0 g sugar. The canned cocktails sit between 30 and 65 calories per 8.5-oz can, with 0 g added sugar listed on labels. That’s the headline. The details below help you plan pours, choose mixers, and keep total calories predictable.
What’s In The Bottles
Arise lists about 5 calories per 2-oz serving, less than 1 g carbohydrate, and 10 mg sodium. The label calls out vitamin D (20 mcg, 100% DV) and vitamin B12 (40% DV) per serving. Calme lists about 15 calories per 2-oz serving, 1 g carbohydrate, and 20 mg sodium. Neither contains alcohol or sugar. These are botanical bases designed to be sipped over ice or mixed the way you’d build a spritz.
What’s In The Cans
The ready-to-drink line (8.5-oz cans) includes Ume Spritz, Chili Margarita, Kola Fashioned, and seasonal runs like Mandora Negroni. Typical labels show 30 calories and 2–3 g total sugars for Ume Spritz and Chili Margarita, while Kola Fashioned and Mandora Negroni land closer to 65 calories with around 11–12 g total sugars. No alcohol, and no added sugar on the panel.

Item | Per Serving | Notes |
---|---|---|
Arise (bottle) | 2 oz: ~5 kcal; <1 g carbs; 0 g sugar; 10 mg sodium | Lists vitamin D & B12 on label |
Calme (bottle) | 2 oz: ~15 kcal; 1 g carbs; 0 g sugar; 20 mg sodium | Zero alcohol |
Ume Spritz (can) | 8.5 oz: ~30 kcal; ~3 g total sugars; 0 mg sodium | 100 mg lion’s mane noted |
Chili Margarita (can) | 8.5 oz: ~30 kcal; ~2 g total sugars; ~10 mg sodium | Vitamin D & B12 listed |
Kola Fashioned (can) | 8.5 oz: ~65 kcal; ~12 g total sugars | Zero alcohol |
Mandora Negroni (can) | 8.5 oz: ~65 kcal; ~11 g total sugars | Sparkling, bittersweet |
How To Read These Panels The Smart Way
Start with serving size. Bottles use a 2-oz pour, so a 750-ml bottle yields about 12–13 servings. Cans are single-serve at 8.5 oz. Calories stay modest because there’s no ethanol and minimal sugars. If you’re tracking carbs, pay attention to the mixer more than the spirit base; bubbles can swing the total from near-zero to triple-digits fast.
Mixers That Keep Calories Low
Club soda keeps a pour feather-light. Tonic water adds sweetness and, with it, more energy. A splash of citrus gives lift with only a few calories. You’ll see a quick mixer table later with practical pairings.
Label Claims And What They Mean
Labels call out plant blends and vitamins. Those statements speak to flavor and mood, not intoxication. In the United States, cannabis-derived ingredients sit in a gray zone for foods and drinks; the FDA’s CBD page lays out how policy currently works. That page covers what’s allowed, what isn’t, and why many brands stay careful with language.
Serving Ideas That Fit Your Goals
You can pour neat over ice, top with bubbles, or build a full spritz with ice, citrus, and garnish. The goal here is a crisp, adult drink that doesn’t blow up the count. The combos below give you a reliable playbook.
Straight Pours
Arise over a big cube is lean and bright. Calme over cracked ice tastes citrus-herbal with a gentle bite from botanicals. Garnish with expressed citrus peel or a thin cucumber slice. Calorie impact stays at the label amount since you’re not adding sugars.
Light Spritz Builds
Use a tall glass with ice, add a 2-oz pour, then fill with club soda. That’s still near to the base count. If you prefer tonic, the number climbs. Twelve ounces of tonic can add triple-digit calories, while club soda is effectively zero. If you like tang, an ounce of lime adds only a few.
Shaken Mocktail Approach
For a sour-style drink, shake a 2-oz pour with 1 oz lime, add plenty of ice, and strain over fresh ice. Top with a splash of soda. Sweeten only if needed; a teaspoon of simple syrup adds about 16 calories and 4 g sugar, which is easy to track.
Ingredient Notes And Sensitivities
The bases use botanicals and, in some cans, adaptogens like lion’s mane. The bottles are sugar-free and alcohol-free. Sodium stays low. If you’re watching stimulants, note that some blends mention ingredients that feel bright, a bit like a tea pick-me-up, though they don’t contain caffeine. If you take medications or have special dietary needs, scan panels and adjust serving size the way you would with any flavored beverage.
Zero-Proof Rituals With Real Numbers
Most drink decisions come down to the mixer. To keep totals predictable at home or at a party, use the table below. It shows a simple build with a 2-oz pour and common toppers. You’ll see how the choice of bubbles swings the total.
Mix-And-Match Builder (Later)
Build | Estimated Calories | Why It Lands There |
---|---|---|
2 oz spirit + 6–8 oz club soda | ~5–15 | Club soda is 0 kcal; only the base counts |
2 oz spirit + 6–8 oz tonic | ~125–140 | Tonic can run ~116–124 kcal per 12 oz |
2 oz spirit + 6 oz soda + 1 oz lime | ~12–22 | Lime adds ~7 kcal per ounce |
How This Compares To A Regular Cocktail
A gin and tonic can easily land near 200 calories because ethanol brings 7 kcal per gram and the mixer adds more. A spritz built with these bases and soda sits near the label count since there’s no ethanol and no added sugar. That’s the core advantage: adult flavor, minimal intake.
Tips For Picking Your Best Serve
When You Want The Lightest Option
Choose a bottle pour over ice or stretch it with plain soda. Add brightness from citrus peel, cucumber, or herbs. Keep sweet mixers on the bench.
When You Want A Bar-Style Feel
Build a sour or highball with crushed ice. Measure your citrus and sweetener so the count stays transparent. Use a salt-rim sparingly to avoid bumping up sodium.
When You Want A Crowd-Ready Cooler
Batch a simple spritz: equal parts spirit and cold club soda over ice in a pitcher, with thin wheels of citrus and a pinch of sea salt to wake up flavors. Guests can add tonic to their own glass if they prefer a sweeter profile.
Sourcing Labels And Verifying Numbers
The bottle panels and can panels are public on the brand’s site and partner retailers. If you’re counting closely, match the exact flavor and serving size on the label in your hand. For mixers, check reliable databases; USDA FoodData Central lists values for club soda, tonic, and juices so your totals stay honest without guesswork.
Storage, Shelf Life, And Serving Windows
Unopened bottles keep at room temp. After opening, the brand suggests finishing within about two months. Cans are shelf-stable for many months and can chill in the fridge for service. Shake cans gently, pour cold, and keep garnishes simple so the flavor comes through.
Frequently Noted Questions (No FAQ Schema Used)
Do These Drinks Contain Alcohol?
No. The panels list 0.0% ABV. That’s why the count is low and why you won’t see ethanol on the label.
Do These Drinks Contain Caffeine?
No caffeine is listed on panels. Some blends include adaptogens that can feel bright. Sensitivity varies by person, so start with a small pour and see how you feel.
Can You Drive After Drinking These?
These are alcohol-free. That said, always listen to your body, read the label, and make smart choices about timing and setting.
Bottom Line For Calorie-Aware Sipping
Keep two rules in mind. First, the bottles are lean: 5–15 calories per 2-oz pour with 0 g sugar. Second, the mixer decides the swing: soda water keeps it tight, tonic bumps it up. With those numbers in your back pocket, you can build a weeknight spritz, a party pitcher, or a slow sip over ice without guesswork.
