As we ring in 2024, we’re reminded of the world of possibilities and new opportunities that accompany a new year. And when we say “new opportunities,” new drink options are heavily implied.  

After the always exciting and tiring holiday season, alcohol tends to be one of the first habits that people want to cut out for the new year. This resolution seems easy, however, when you find yourself at your next party, you might find it harder to avoid your favorite full-strength cocktails. Whether this is your first time trying this category or revisiting it, we are here to help you understand why this category is trending, what brands to purchase, and how to integrate them into cocktails! 

In an increasingly health-conscious world, this No + Lo category, as we call it, has gained momentum in the past few years. Consumers, such as yourself, have increased fitness and health-related subscriptions and mindfully moderated their relationship with food and alcohol. They are looking to achieve a greater sense of well-being.

At this point, you might be asking “What brands and types of Lo + No alcohol are there?” No worries, we got you covered:
