Leading UK drinks brand Caleño tropical non-alcoholic spirits has launched in the UAE after gaining a listing with renowned supermarket chain Spinney’s. Containing two expressions in the range, Caleño brings joy to ‘not drinking' with sun-drenched alcohol-free drinks inspired by the vibrant flavours of Colombia. 

These tropical drinks are a delicious alternative when you'd like an alcohol-free, refreshing sipping moment without having to compromise on taste and experience. Not only are they 0% alcohol, but they’re sugar-free, gluten-free, low in calories and vegan-friendly.

The dual range includes 'Dark & Spicy' - a tropical non-alcoholic spiced rum alternative, bold and packed with complex flavours of Colombia. Serve with ginger ale over ice, garnished with a wedge of lime. And 'Light & Zesty'- a tropical non-alcoholic gin alternative, distilled with a unique mix of citrus, inca berry and pineapple. Serve with tonic over ice, garnished with a wedge of fresh pineapple. Each expression contains 0.0% ABV. 

The brand was founded 4 years ago by Ellie Webb, who is the only solo female founder in the No & Low drinks category in the UK. She created the brand to give those who don’t drink or are moderating alcohol intake the opportunity to enjoy fun, vibrant and flavoursome drinks.

Ellie comments on the launch of Caleño in UAE: 

“We have been blown away by the success of Caleño in every market it has entered so far, and our goal is to continue to build on that success as we introduce the brand to consumers in the UAE. We feel that Caleño will be a great addition to Spinney’s drinks portfolio.”

Already a successful brand in the UK, the two Caleño expressions are already available via Spinney’s and can be purchased both online, and in several stores across Dubai priced at AED 78.75 for 500ml. In addition to the listing with Spinneys, Caleño has also gained a listing with Waitrose UAE, where the brand can also be found online and in-store. 

The Caleño team will be exhibiting at Gulfood trade show from Monday 20th Feb to Friday 24th Feb in the Department for International Trade's stand (Stand - S1-C34) at the Dubai World Trade Centre.

About Caleño

Caleño is a range of tropical non-alcoholic spirits that bottles up the vibes of Colombia, created to bring a latina fiesta to those moments when you're not drinking. Light & Zesty is a gin alternative with a unique tropical twist, whilst our Dark & Spicy adds a bold punch of exotic flavour to your evening drinks. Alcohol free, 100% fun!

Born from our founder's frustration with tap water on her alcohol-free nights out, Ellie Webb began her mission to create the most tropical and fun-filled drinks to enjoy when, well, you're not drinking. After traveling 5000 miles across Colombia to soak up the vibrant flavours and joyful vibes of her family's homeland, she returned home to bottle it all up with the flavours of the tropics. She danced and distilled in her kitchen until Caleño tropical non-alcoholic spirits were born, and we haven't stopped spreading the joy since.
