About us
We discovered that many alcohol products have the same sugar as 2x bars of dairy milk. I don't think anyone can say that fits into a balanced lifestyle. So we decided to make a Refreshing, Low-calorie, Sugar-Free alternative called X-LITE.
We started X-LITE in college. We got incredible feedback, so we decided to stick with it. This demanded many nights of sleeping on the floor in a shared room, eating dry pasta, and driving to every corner of the country to get listings. It's been a challenging and exciting journey, and we wouldn't change it for the world.
Today, X-LITE is available in Tesco and Spar stores nationwide. But we are only beginning. In the future, our aim is to be the Number: 1 Sugar-Free RTD in Ireland, the UK and beyond. We invite you to join our journey, buckle up because it's going to be an exciting one!
