# Functional Non-Alcoholic Spirits Aplós Makes Alternatives Enhanced with Adaptogens and Hemp By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2023-12-21 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aplos References: [newhope](https://www.newhope.com/food-and-beverage/functional-formulations-find-place-nonalcoholic-beverage-market) & [aplos.world](https://www.aplos.world/products/aplos-duo)  Aplós specializes in creating functional, non-alcoholic spirits and its no-sugar-added, low-calorie alternatives make it easy for adults to tailor their drinking experiences to their liking. Touted as "a better way to unwind," Aplós spirits are ready to be sipped in varieties like Aplós Calme, infused with hemp for moments of unwinding, and Aplós Arise, infused with adaptogens for moments of revelry. While the uplifting yet soothing Aplós Calme features bright citrus extracts from yuzu and calamansi, plus herbaceous rosemary, basil and coriander, fresh cucumber, mint and shiso, the adaptogenic Aplós Arise elevates moods with moringa, ginseng, lemon verbena and agave, plus other ingredients to mindfully elevate social occasions. Both of these functional non-alcoholic spirits promise to support drinkers during Dry January and beyond. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 25% | Freshness: 20% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Functional Non-alcoholic Spirits:** Aplós specializes in creating non-alcoholic spirits infused with adaptogens and hemp for adult drinkers. - **Tailored Drinking Experiences:** Aplós offers no-sugar-added, low-calorie alternatives that allow adults to customize their drinking experiences. - **Mindful Socializing:** Aplós' adaptogenic spirits with mood-enhancing ingredients provide a mindful way to elevate social occasions. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Beverage Industry:** Aplós' functional non-alcoholic spirits disrupt the traditional beverage industry by offering innovative alternatives. - **Wellness Industry:** Aplós' infusion of adaptogens and hemp taps into the growing wellness industry and provides a unique product for health-conscious individuals. - **Hospitality Industry:** Aplós' innovative non-alcoholic spirits can disrupt the hospitality industry by catering to the changing preferences of consumers seeking healthier drink options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Functional Non-Alcoholic Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aplos-cocktails.md) - [Alcohol-Free Craft Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aplos-1.md) - [Non-Alcoholic Functional Spirits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/functional-spirits.md) - [Functional Alcohol-Free Spirits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bonbuz.md) - [Dry January Enhancing Spirits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sentia-spirits.md) - [Adaptogenic Craft Mocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zero-proof-by-recess.md) - [Adaptogenic Alcohol Alternatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/huzzy-smart-sips.md) - [Zero-Proof Botanical Spirits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abstinence-spirits.md) - [Non-Alcoholic Cola Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kola-fashioned.md)
