In a marketplace that’s evolving faster than ever, the spirits industry is undergoing a quiet but powerful transformation. Health-conscious consumers, especially younger millennials and Gen Z, are redefining what it means to enjoy a drink—with wellness, moderation, and real ingredients leading the charge. For distributors looking to stay ahead of this curve, Zest Vodka represents not just a new product, but a timely and relevant solution to a changing landscape.

A Shift in Drinking Culture

The modern drinker is no longer interested in one-size-fits-all spirits. There’s growing momentum behind low-alcohol, better-for-you options that allow people to enjoy the social aspect of drinking—without the aftermath. Zest Vodka was born out of this cultural shift. With an ABV of just 20% and only 73 calories per serving, it meets the need for moderation while still offering a premium experience.

Made with real California citrus juice and natural cane sugar, Zest isn’t trying to be all things to all people—it’s simply answering what many have been asking for: a lighter, cleaner, more refreshing alternative that still tastes great.

What Makes Zest Vodka Different?

Zest doesn’t just lower the alcohol content and call it a day. It reimagines what vodka can be for today’s consumer. Here’s how:

• Guilt-Free Enjoyment: No artificial flavors or additives, and gluten-free, non-GMO, kosher, and allergen-free.
• Real Ingredients: Fresh lemon, lime, or orange juice and natural cane sugar bring a brightness you can taste.
• Versatile Use: From shots and simple mixers to craft cocktails, Zest fits easily into any drinking occasion.
• Eco-Friendly Packaging: Recycled glass bottles, non-plastic closures, and sustainable cardboard boxes show a commitment to values beyond just flavor.

Whether it's the Zest Lemon Drop, Lime Drop, or Orange Drop, each flavor is a ready-to-drink solution for those seeking something refreshing and mindful.

Why Distributors Should Take Notice

As consumer behavior evolves, so too must your portfolio. Here’s why Zest Vodka makes smart business sense for forward-looking distributors:

Consumer Demand
Zest sits at the intersection of two booming categories: low-alcohol spirits and ready-to-drink (RTD) beverages. It answers the call for balance without sacrificing taste, making it a natural fit for today’s mindful drinker.

Premium, Honest Ingredients
With an ingredient list that reads like a recipe, not a lab report, Zest delivers on the promise of transparency and quality—something shoppers increasingly expect.

Attractive Pricing & Value
An MSRP of $19.99 gives retailers strong margin potential, while volume pricing opportunities make it an easy sell-in for large accounts.

Sales & Marketing Support
Zest Vodka backs up its product with real partnership: in-store tastings, point-of-sale materials, and promotional incentives to help products move off the shelf.

Fits On- and Off-Premise Needs
For bars, Zest makes shots easy and consistent. For retailers, it’s a fridge-friendly, grab-and-go product that appeals to spontaneous buyers and party planners alike.

Meeting Today’s Consumer Where They Are

Younger drinkers are thoughtful about their choices. They want moderation, but they also want enjoyment. They’re reading labels. They’re asking questions. They’re exploring new brands that align with their values. And they’re looking for alternatives that reflect a lifestyle centered around wellness and experience—not excess.

Zest Vodka fits that lifestyle perfectly. It’s a product that says: you can have fun, and still feel good about it.

The future of spirits isn’t just about who has the strongest proof or flashiest label. It’s about who understands the evolving needs of the modern consumer. Zest Vodka isn’t just another flavored vodka on the shelf—it’s a thoughtful, well-crafted response to a generational shift in drinking habits.

For distributors looking to diversify with purpose, build real consumer loyalty, and stay ahead of emerging trends, Zest Vodka isn’t just a smart addition to your portfolio—it’s a strategic one.
