For the first time ever, Recess is venturing into the non-alcohol category with Recess Zero Proof, a line of full-flavored canned craft mocktails. With this new line of drinks, the brand is intent on sharing alcohol-free experiences that shift "replacement to enhancement" so that non-drinkers don't feel that they're lacking. While experiencing all the flavors of popular cocktails without the side effects, consumers will benefit from added functional ingredients and adaptogens.
This line of canned craft mocktails includes varieties like Lime Margarita, Grapefruit Paloma, Watermelon Mojito and Ginger Lime Mule. Thanks to their thoughtfully chosen ingredients, the mocktails deliver an effect that's balanced and uplifting, which aligns with the kind of experiences many Millennials and Gen Z consumers are looking to share with others in social settings.
