Aplos Non-Alcoholic Dragon Fruit Martini

It's bright and tropical from dragon fruit and kiwi, with warm depth from Sarawak peppercorn. Black tea, lemon verbena, and a sparkling finish round it out.

Pour it over ice or sip straight from a chilled can — it's ready to drink either way. The 8.5 oz single-serve can makes it easy for date night or an evening in.

Aplos Arise is the brand's proprietary blend of functional ingredients meant to uplift energy and sociability, and it includes elements like L-Theanine for a sense of calm.

Aplós is an independent non-alcoholic spirits company founded in 2020 by David Fudge and Emily Onkey, along with co-founder Jessica Manley, and it's long been associated with New York — its brand announcements are still issued from there. More recent company listings and trade coverage place its headquarters in Miami, Florida, so it appears the team has shifted its base south while keeping strong New York roots. Either way, it's a small, founder-led US company, and the Aplós range you'll find here includes Arise plus their ready-to-drink Mandora Negroni, Kola Fashioned, and Chili Margarita.

We carry a few hundred different products on our website with all different ingredients. We suggest you consult with your doctor regarding specific ingredients. Everything we carry is non-alcoholic-- less than 0.5% ABV-- and very popular with our customers who are pregnant (and those who aren't, too)!

Some of our products contain adaptogens, nootropics, and other herbs that are not recommended for people who are pregnant, but we're not doctors and do not give medical advice. Every body and pregnancy is different, so we suggest talking to a healthcare professional if you're unsure.

Not all of our non-alcoholic beverages are 100% alcohol-free. Some contain trace amounts of alcohol at less than 0.5% alcohol by volume.  This is consistent with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s labeling policy, which permits the use of the term, “non-alcoholic” to describe a product that contains less than 0.5% alcohol by volume.

If you are looking for products that are 0.0% alcohol by volume, look for the "Alcohol-Free" badge on the product page.
