A vision for mindful enjoyment
The world of spirits has changed—and Aplós is leading the charge. Launched in 2020 in Miami by mixologists and wellness-minded founders, Aplós was built on a single idea: a drink that gives you ritual and connection, without the alcohol or hangover. It wasn’t meant to be the next flashy cocktail fad—it was meant to be something real, something ritualistic, something that leaves you feeling better, not hazier.
What’s in a name: “Aplós” and its intent
“Aplós” is Greek for “simple,” and that simplicity is woven into every part of the brand. Not just the ingredients, but how it makes you feel: calm, connected, clear-headed. Each expression—Calme, Arise, Ease—is named for a mood or moment. It’s not a gimmick. It’s an invitation to slow down and savor something intentional.
Crafted by mixologists, powered by nature
Aplós wasn’t designed in a boardroom—it was born in shakers and bars, by seasoned mixologists who know flavor and balance. They source premium botanicals—like organic hemp, adaptogens, mushrooms, and citrus—from trusted suppliers.
Production is small-batch, with no added sugar and under 15 calories per serving. The result: a functional blend that delivers sensory layers—smoky, herbaceous, floral—without the alcohol. It’s about how you feel after the drink, not just how it tastes in the moment.
The functional spirit movement: why it matters
Non-alcoholic drinks used to mean juice or soda. Aplós changed that. It helped pioneer a category that puts ritual, craft, and wellness first. By blending hemp, adaptogens, and mood-supporting ingredients, it’s carved out a new space in a landscape once dominated by booze .
This is a drink for anyone who wants something beyond the buzz—no fuzz, no fog, just flavor and intention.
