DrinkLeader tracks 41 hard cider drinks between 0.5% and 4.5% ABV. The top-scoring pick is Ringnes as Lite sparkling cider (3.2g carbs, 107 cal per 12 oz). Figures are rescaled to the standard serving for each drink type (for example 12oz for beer, 1.5oz for spirits, 5oz for wine), so a per-100ml label row and a whole-bottle row are compared with a normal pour; each row shows the serving used.
