Schweppes Zero Citrussmaken

Schweppes Zero Citrussmaken is a zero-sugar sparkling beverage flavored with natural extracts of orange, grapefruit, lime, and mandarin. It contains carbonated water, citric acid, the non-nutritive sweeteners acesulfame K and sucralose, potassium sorbate as a preservative, modified starch, ascorbic acid, and stabilizer E445. Per 100 ml it provides only 2.3 kcal, 0.3 g carbohydrates (all from sugars), and 0 g fat, protein, or salt. ^[1]

For people with gout, the absence of added sugars, high-fructose corn syrup, and alcohol makes this a far better option than regular sodas, which can elevate uric acid through fructose metabolism. The negligible purine content from the plant-based extracts means it does not meaningfully contribute to the purine load that triggers flares. A typical serving of 250–330 ml delivers roughly 6–8 kcal and under 1 g of sugar, allowing flexibility within daily fluid intake goals that support kidney function and uric acid excretion.

Practical guidance: Enjoy chilled as a stand-alone drink or mixer with spirits (avoiding beer or sugary cocktails). Because it relies on artificial sweeteners, those with IBS or sweetener sensitivities should test small amounts first. Staying well-hydrated remains key in gout management, and this low-calorie option can replace higher-risk beverages without derailing calorie control. Always check the label on your specific bottle, as minor formulation changes can occasionally occur by market. ^[1]
