About Us

Being the cocktail lovers that we are, we were tired of opting for the same high calorie high carb mixes when drinking socially.  We set out to develop a full flavor, 0 carb, 0 sugar, low-sodium mix that would allow cocktail lovers and diabetics to enjoy the flavor of their favorite cocktail without all the guilt and calories of a regular mixed drink.  The journey began in our kitchen concocting batch after batch.  We tried our creations out on friends and neighbors until finally; we had developed the most full-flavor Margarita mix without any carbs or sugar. 

So… we created the perfect Margarita mix, but what do we brand it?  To say this was any less of a journey than actually perfecting the recipe would be an understatement!  We searched and searched and searched some more until it occurred to us that our brand should be as unique as our products…at long last Scales was born.  Obviously, anyone who is weight conscious has an intimate relationship with a set of “scales”.  Likewise, we have an intimate relationship with our beloved coast of Charleston, SC.  So we decided to merge the two and create a double entendre with our brand.  Scales while pointing out the obvious with a low calorie product is also representative of so many native species along the Charleston coastline.  As unique as each product, so are the labels that adorn each of our bottles, paying homage to our coastal heritage. 

We don’t give up easily so we decided to add to our selections and created a Strawberry Daiquiri/Margarita mix and a Sweet & Sour mix, also 0 carb, 0 sugar. 

Finally, we were determined to offer a healthier alternative for one our favorites…The Bloody Mary.  Scales Bloody Mary mix co-branded with Texas Pete Hot Sauce combines the highest level of ingredients to include;  Texas Pete Hot Sauce, Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce and Sea Salt.  At only 200 mg of sodium per serving it is far superior to other mixes that average anywhere from 610 mg of sodium per serving to a whopping 900 mg of sodium per serving.  Also, all of our products are Gluten Free and contain NO MSG! 

Don’t let the no carb, no sugar, low sodium fool you.  What we compromised in creating healthier products we made up for in taste.

While some sugar free mixers have a laxative effect or leave you with an after taste, our mixes are sweetened with sucralose. It tastes like sugar because it is made from sugar.

Our mixes are perfect for your next cocktail party! So “Scale back the calories, not the taste.”

*Remember to add approximately 96 calories per serving when mixing with alcohol and be sure to use quality alcohol. Cheaper brands may contain sugar!
