Major companies in the ginger ale market are focusing on developing zero-calorie ginger ale to meet rising demand for healthier beverages. Zero-calorie ginger ale is a carbonated soft drink replicating the traditional ginger ale flavor without calories, typically using non-caloric sweeteners such as stevia, sucralose, or aspartame in place of sugar. For instance, in August 2024, Glenwalk, a blended Scotch whisky brand, launched a zero-calorie Ginger Ale that delivers the classic ginger ale taste without added calories. The beverage uses non-caloric sweeteners to maintain flavor, appealing to consumers seeking low-calorie or sugar-free options. This launch reflects Glenwalk’s strategy to expand its portfolio with innovative, health-aligned products while preserving the refreshing qualities expected from ginger-based drinks.
