My sister’s birthday fell on a weekday this year, so when it came time to throw her a dinner party, I decided to mix up non-alcoholic cocktails with Aplós that would leave us sans hangover, but still ready to party. Aplós offers zero ABV mixologist-crafted spirits infused with functional botanical ingredients to help calm and uplift without the negative effects of alcohol.
Here’s what they had to say about their drinks:
“I Feel Light. This Is Something I Feel Like I Can Drink All Night!”
For the birthday girl, I decided to go with the recipe “Dancing Shoes” - a blend of Aplós Arise, agave nectar, lime juice, and orange flower water. 🍊 Arise is made with bold blends of citrus, herbal botanicals, and is infused with a proprietary blend of adaptogens to create a spirit that stimulates and elevates your mood.
When I asked my sister what she thought of her drink, she said, “I feel light. This is something I feel like I can drink all night.”
Aplós enhances any cocktail without the negative effects of alcohol, so my sister felt safe and assured that she’d experience a zero chance of a hangover heading into work tomorrow.
“I Feel Relaxed. I’m Getting A Hint of Smoky Flavor, Which I Love!”
For my cousin, I was inspired by her orange top, and wanted to find a way to emulate this through my choice of garnishes. For her drink, I decided to do a simple mix of orange flower water, sparkling water, and Aplós.
Aplós Arise has savory, spicy and peppery botanicals—agave flower, lemon verbena, and black sarawak 🍋, which is likely the “smoky hint” my cousin was picking up on. These premium quality, vegan and non-GMO, functional ingredients create drinks that taste exactly like a craft cocktail, without any of the negatives.
“I’m Feeling Good! Let’s Just Say That.”
For my wife, she loves a good mocktail. She’s not too fond of alcohol so I love that in moments like this, she can partake in lively conversations with a pretty non-alcoholic drink in hand. For her, I decided to go with a “Mellow Margarita” —a blend of Aplós Calme, orange flower water, agave nectar, lime juice, and garnished with a lime wheel. 🌸
Aplós was crafted for moments of revelry and they delivered on that point. As I checked in with my wife throughout the gathering, she whispered to me “I’m feeling good! Let’s just say that.”
“I Feel Alive!”
Of course, I needed to craft something for myself. As I sat there on my patio, goblet in hand, golden hour sunlight on my face, I thought to myself - “I feel alive!” I decided to go with a refreshing “Aplós and Tonic”—a simple blend of Aplós Arise, tonic, and garnished with lemon.
With 10 servings per bottle, there was more than enough left for me to craft a simple drink for myself. With the infused proprietary blend of adaptogens that help you destress and give a mood boost, there's no surprise why I felt so alive in that moment.
Dance, kick back, and everything in between with Aplós
Personally, I’m looking forward to unwinding during my evenings with Aplós Calme—which is why I’m deciding to subscribe and save $32 for a pack of six bottles. Some things are better felt than described, and I can’t wait to share this experience with others. Relax and upwind with Aplós and wake up refreshed—there’s nothing like it!
