The Sprite: Ask for a diet or zero-sugar lemon-lime soda, if available at your local Swig, to reduce the sugar and calories.
The Lemonade: Request less lemonade for a lighter and less sweet drink.
The Strawberry: Ask for less strawberry flavor if you prefer a less sweet and fruity taste.
The Gummy Shark: Remove the gummy shark to reduce added sugar and calories.
The Ice: Choose Lite Ice if you want more drink and less ice.
Keep It Simple: Using less strawberry flavor and lemonade can create a lighter, less sweet version.

Keep the Sprite: The classic Sprite base keeps the drink crisp, bubbly, and caffeine-free.
Avoid Caffeinated Add-Ins: If you want to keep your drink caffeine-free, avoid adding caffeinated soda or energy ingredients.
Keep the Original Flavors: Stick with the classic lemonade and strawberry combination for the closest caffeine-free version of Unlucky Ducky.
Fresh & Fizzy: Choose the original recipe for a sweet, fruity, and refreshing drink you can enjoy any time.
