This new range of drinks was created for consumers who are seeking a middle ground between full-strength and full-stop options. The range of premium light spirit drinks includes Cut Classic ‘Light’ Gin, Cut Classic ‘Light’ Rum, and Cut Classic ‘Light’ Vodka. Each of these [lower-ABV spirits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/second-sip) is distilled or blended in the same way as their traditional counterparts, but they share the benefit of half of the alcohol and [half of the calories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/this-is-skinny).
