Alcohol-free spirits brand [CleanCo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heavenly-desserts-and-cleanco) teamed up with Lovehoney for its Anything But [Dry January campaign](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dash-and-dry-january), promoting moderation and intimacy without intoxication.

Millions of adults are using the start of a fresh calendar year to reassess their relationship with alcohol, whether through sober-curious exploration, mindful moderation, or total abstinence. In a blog post, CleanCo shared, "In 2026, Gen Z are rejecting the idea of being a 'celibate generation' and instead embracing intentional, meaningful intimacy—a shift Lovehoney describes as Celiba-Z."

Together, CleanCo and Lovehoney came up with a recipe for a sweet, spicy and tangy Sobergasm cocktail, prepared with CleanCo Clean T (an alcohol-free take on blanco tequila,) fresh lime juice, fresh orange juice and hot honey, plus salty, zesty, fiery garnishes.
