Celebrating a Dry Fourth: Success Stories from Our Partners

Independence Day is a high-stakes holiday in the hospitality world—venues are packed, expectations are high, and beverage programs need to satisfy a wide range of customers. More than ever, that includes those who are choosing not to drink alcohol. This Fourth of July, we’re proud to spotlight several businesses that embraced the opportunity to go “dry” in style—by partnering with Zepeim to build non-alcoholic beverage programs that wowed.

Step 1: It Starts with a Wholesale Account

Each success story began with a simple step: applying for a wholesale account with Zepeim. Whether it was a Michelin-starred restaurant, a rooftop bar, or a wellness-focused retreat, every partner gained access to:

• Our full non-alcoholic portfolio
• Exclusive wholesale pricing
• Free nationwide shipping
• Direct access to our non-alc specialists

Step 2: Personalized Consultations with Industry Experts

Once onboarded, each account was paired with a Zepeim product specialist or sommelier. Together, we worked through:

• Concept & Theme: From poolside brunches to elegant prix-fixe dinners
• Menu Goals: Inclusivity, wellness, elegance, or bold flavors?
• Product Matching: Choosing wines, aperitifs, and RTDs to match venue needs

One Los Angeles-based hotel noted that their beverage revenue jumped after replacing bottom-tier sparkling water with Copenhagen Sparkling Tea’s Bla and Lyserod—offering sophistication for the sober and sober-curious alike.

Step 3: Free Samples & Hands-On Tasting Support

To ensure the selections were a perfect match, Zepeim shipped curated samples based on each venue’s needs. Sommeliers and beverage managers were able to taste:

• So Jennie Paris Blanc Dry for celebratory toasts
• Lyre’s RTDs for high-volume crowd service
• Haus of Babylon for Spritz-style offerings
• Kolonne Null Rosé and Riesling for food pairings

We also provided virtual tasting sessions and side-by-side comparisons to help fine-tune selections before placing bulk orders.

Step 4: Full-Service Marketing Support

Our job doesn’t stop at the shipment. Zepeim supports partners with:

• Tasting notes and pairing guides for menus and staff training
• Product images and descriptions for menus and POS displays
• Educational materials on the 0.0% category
• Custom branding assistance for premium experiences

One New York rooftop lounge used Zepeim’s suggested tasting language to rebrand their “mocktail menu” into a “Zero Proof Aperitif Experience”—leading to a 3x increase in non-alc drink orders.

Step 5: Seamless Fulfillment & Reorder Management

We ensured every order was delivered quickly and efficiently ahead of the holiday weekend. Reorders were simple, thanks to:

• Fast case shipping across the U.S.
• Temperature-safe packaging
• Tracking and order history for future planning

The Results? A Profitable, Elegant, Alcohol-Free Celebration

Partners reported that non-drinkers were thrilled to have upscale options. Drinkers loved the elevated taste and presentation—many even switched for the night. Managers praised:

• Higher profit margins on non-alc offerings
• Fewer guest complaints
• Stronger inclusivity and brand image
• More Instagram-worthy moments for guests
