Aplós Introduces Dragon Fruit Martini, A Party Drink for a New Era of Celebration

Inspired by one of the world's most searched cocktails of the last two years, Aplós' non-alcoholic ready-to-drink martini captures the playful martini-night ritual—without the alcohol NEW YORK, March 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Aplós, one of the fastest-growing non-alcoholic spirits and cocktail brands, today announced the release of its newest ready-to-drink cocktail: Dragon Fruit Martini. Bright, lush, and unapologetically fun, this release marks Aplós' most playful cocktail offering to date. In a cultural moment defined by balance, where people want to celebrate loudly but live intentionally, Aplós is taking inspiration from the ongoing global obsession with the Pornstar Martini, the early-2000s modern classic that is everywhere again as this year's breakout cocktail. This vibrant release captures the bold, fruit-forward energy of today's martini renaissance reimagined through Aplós' functional, zero-proof lens. "Martinis have re-entered culture in a big way. It's an iconic cocktail that has a way of signaling that the night is about to get good," said David Fudge, Co-Founder and CEO of Aplós. "We wanted to honor that bold energy and create a delicious cocktail that is uniquely Aplós and the epitome of a fun night out." The Dragon Fruit Martini is crafted with Aplós Arise, the brand's non-alcoholic functional spirit crafted for moments of revelry. Infused with a proprietary blend of adaptogens to support an elevated mood, the cocktail pairs vibrant dragon fruit and kiwi with black tea, lemon verbena, and a hint of Sarawak peppercorn for depth and a subtle spice. The launch arrives amid a broader cultural recalibration around alcohol. As more adults moderate their drinking, the demand has grown for drinks that don't feel like a compromise. Dragon Fruit Martini is among the first cocktails of its kind to bring this style of martini into a zero-proof format, making it effortless to enjoy whether poured into a martini glass or sipped straight from the can.
