Abstaining from something entirely can feel slightly restrictive and rather than inviting people to take part in Dry January, non-alcoholic spirits brand Crossip is spotlighting low-alcohol drinks as part of its Defy January campaign. Set to launch at the start of 2023, this campaign focuses on creative low-ABV options.
Crossip founder Carl Anthony Brown said, "All too often, when someone mentions no-and-low, they’re referring to zero-ABV. Low-alcohol ends up either an afterthought or lost altogether. Similarly, when someone looks to experiment with a non-alcoholic ‘spirit’, their knee-jerk reaction is to make a zero ABV serve."
At the center of the Defy January campaign from Crossip is an interactive digital advent calendar that offers a video a day featuring a low-alcohol recipe that can be made with one of its versatile non-alcoholic spirits.
