Big moment for us ✨
We’re proud to share that Abstinence was named a finalist at Naturally Rising NorCal (@naturally_norcal )— a celebration of some of the most exciting up-and-coming brands in Northern California.
Our CEO, Ranwei, took the stage to share our vision for zero-proof spirits and the future of mindful drinking, alongside an incredible group of founders. While we didn’t take home the win, being 1 of 7 finalists is something we’re truly honored by.
Grateful for the opportunity, the community, and the momentum — this is just the beginning. 💫

Want an effortless mocktail? Say less.🍊✨
We hit the store with our CEO to prove how easy it is to build the perfect mocktail using our Blood Orange Aperitif. We found 3 pairing options; @fevertree_usa plain club soda for something fresh and simple, or Fever Tree pink grapefruit for a burst of citrus flavor, or @drinkwildwonder strawberry passion probiotic for something a little more sweet, and plenty of limes + oranges for garnish.
The best part? All you have to do:
🥃 Add 2 oz of Blood Orange to a glass with ice
🥤 Top with one of the three options
🍊 Garnish and sip
Three simple options. Endless vibes. Zero alcohol required.
What should we try next?

BALOONAH
served during the first night of Cheers Cinema x Emruz Biennial at 100 Sutton Space.
Built around Iranian-inspired flavors and designed to extend the atmosphere of the films beyond the screen.
This zero-proof cocktail combined Abstinence Blood Orange Aperitif, pomegranate, orange blossom, and ginger ale, bright, layered, and slightly nostalgic.
A special thanks to @abstinence.spirits for sponsoring the mocktails across both nights and helping us create a cinematic experience for every guest, with or without alcohol.
More from the second night tomorrow.
