Why Dranks Tropical Heatwave Premium Craft Mocktail scores [L]EB3
Nutrition is an E because the drink has no protein, no fibre and no declared vitamins. Ingredients are a B but lose points for flavourings and the false no added sugar claim. Risk is a 3, driven by 8.98 g sugar per 100 ml.

01 Nutrition density: why E
Protein is 0 g per 100 ml, no fibre is declared and no vitamins or minerals are declared. The drink gives 41.3 kcal per 100 ml with nothing nutritious to count alongside them, so the grade has nothing to rest on.
Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

02 Ingredient integrity: why B
The list is short and led by water and mango pulp, then apple, lemon and monk fruit juice concentrates, citric acid, salt, stabilizers and flavouring. Citric acid costs no points. Nature-identical flavouring and the monk fruit concentrate each cost ingredient points.
The pack says no added sugar, but a juice concentrate is a free-sugar ingredient, so that promise is hollow and costs label points. That is what sets the [L]. No percentage is printed for the mango that the front puts first.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Moderate risk
- Added sugar
- 0 g
- Sodium
- 54.9 mg
- Saturated fat
- 0 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 3
Sugar is almost all of the risk: 8.98 g per 100 ml is counted as free sugar because juice concentrate is listed, even though the declared added sugar is 0 g. A full bottle has about 27 g.
Sodium is small at 54.9 mg per 100 ml, and saturated fat and trans fat are both 0 g. Energy adds nothing to the grade, which lands on a 3.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Does Dranks Tropical Heatwave Premium Craft Mocktail live up to its claims?
Low calorie and no preservatives hold, but no added sugar does not: juice concentrates supply 8.98 g sugar per 100 ml. No artificial ingredients is true only in a framed sense.
- On the packMisleading
“No Added Sugar”
Apple, lemon and monk fruit juice concentrates are listed, and they supply free sugar. The drink has 8.98 g sugar per 100 ml, about 27 g in the bottle.
- On the packHolds
“Low Calorie, less than 42 kcal/serve”
One 100 ml serve has 41.3 kcal. The whole 300 ml bottle has about 124 kcal.
- On the packHolds
“No Preservatives”
No preservative is listed. Citric acid (INS 330) is an acidity regulator and the stabilizers are not preservatives.
- On the packBe careful
“No Artificial Ingredients”
The list includes nature-identical flavouring, which is a lab-made copy of a natural flavour. The retailer page also says free from artificial flavours.
- Product namePartly true
“Mango Ginger Lime”
Mango pulp is listed second, with no percentage. Ginger and lime are not named; lemon juice concentrate is, and flavouring covers the rest.
What's in Dranks Tropical Heatwave Premium Craft Mocktail?
Water and mango pulp lead the list, followed by three juice concentrates that carry the sugar. Watch the concentrates, the flavouring and the monk fruit.
9 ingredients listed. None of them is an additive or watched ingredient in our research. 2 more entries look like additives we have not researched yet.
The ingredient list, read for you
Water leads, then mango pulp, then deionised apple concentrate, lemon juice concentrate and monk fruit juice concentrate. The concentrates add sweetness and tang, and the monk fruit adds sweetness without many calories. Citric acid sets the sourness, salt rounds the taste, stabilizers keep the pulp suspended and flavouring adds the ginger and lime notes. No percentages are declared for any ingredient.
Not in our additive research yet: Acidity Regulator (INS 330); Stabilizers.
Ingredients to watch
- Free sugar from juice concentratesConcern
8.98 g per 100 ml, about 27 g in the bottle. It counts as free sugar even though the pack says no added sugar, and it drives the risk grade.
- Nature-identical flavouring and monk fruit concentrateWorth watching
Both cost ingredient points. The flavouring is a lab-made copy of a natural taste, and the monk fruit is a sweetener.
- StabilizersWorth watching
Named only as a class in the ingredient text, with no codes, so the reader cannot tell which ones are used.
- Fat and sodiumFine
0 g saturated fat and 0 g trans fat, with 54.9 mg sodium per 100 ml.
What it doesn’t have
- No fibre, protein or vitamins are declared, so the mango adds colour and taste more than nutrition.
- No percentage is printed for mango pulp, which the name and front put first.
What to know about Dranks Tropical Heatwave Premium Craft Mocktail
A mango mixer that says no added sugar
Dranks Tropical Heatwave is a 300 ml glass bottle of mango mocktail mix. It is built from water, mango pulp, deionised apple concentrate, lemon juice concentrate and monk fruit juice concentrate, with citric acid (INS 330), salt, stabilizers and natural and nature-identical flavouring. The side panel says it contains more than 10% fruit juice from concentrate. It is bought as an alcohol-free party drink, or as a mixer for tequila, vodka or rum.
Per 100 ml, which is the serve the pack prints, you get 41.3 kcal, 8.98 g sugar, 54.9 mg sodium and no protein or fat. The bottle holds three of those serves, so the whole bottle is about 124 kcal and 27 g sugar. The pack says a bottle makes 2 mocktails, so one glass is nearer 150 ml, with about 62 kcal and 13.5 g sugar.
The front promises mango, and mango pulp is the first ingredient after water, though no percentage is printed. The front also says no added sugar, but the sweetness comes from apple, lemon and monk fruit juice concentrates, which count as free sugar. CleanPlate scores it [L]EB3.
