The U.K.-based non-alcoholic spirits brand Caleño is making it easier for alcohol-free and sober curious consumers to enjoy their favorite rum-based cocktails with the debut of a new white coconut rum alternative.
Inspired by Colombian-style white coconut rum products, the new alcohol-free White Coconut spirit boasts the smooth and sweet taste of fresh coconuts, along with notes of vanilla and pineapple. Not only is White Coconut non-alcoholic, but it is also sugar-free, low-calorie, vegan-friendly, and gluten-free.
As Caleño founder Ellie Webb says of the new White Coconut offering, "With rum alternatives projected to outpace non-alcoholic gin by 2026, we're excited to bring our Colombian-inspired White Coconut to Waitrose customers. The launch timing couldn't be better as Brits seek daily moments of tropical escapism and non-alcoholic varieties of their favourite tropical cocktails."
