RTD FAQs
What does RTD stand for?
RTD stands for ready to drink. It means a premixed alcoholic drink, usually a spirit with cola, soda, tonic or fruit flavours, sold in a can or bottle with no mixing needed.
How many standard drinks are in an RTD?
Many RTD cans hold between one and two standard drinks, depending on size and strength. A New Zealand standard drink is 10 grams of pure alcohol, so a 330ml can at 4.8% is about 1.3. The label shows the exact figure.
Do zero sugar RTDs contain alcohol?
Yes, zero sugar RTDs contain alcohol. Zero sugar refers only to the sugar in the mix, not the strength, and many match the ABV of the regular version. Check the label for ABV and standard drinks.
How should I store and serve RTDs?
Store RTDs in a cool, dark place and chill before serving. They do not improve with age, so enjoy them within the date on the can. Pour over ice in a glass if you like.
