Molson Coors to bring Naked Life, the No. 1 non-alc RTD cocktail brand in Australia, to the U.S.


The beverage company expands its commitment to the growing non-alc category in 2025


CHICAGO, IL (Sept. 11, 2024) - Molson Coors continues to premiumize their portfolio across the beverage aisle, expanding their offerings in the non-alcoholic category. Today, the company announced a strategic partnership with Naked Life, the No.1 non-alc RTD cocktail company in Australia, to bring its products to the U.S. market in 2025.
Naked Life provides a better-for-you non-alc cocktail option, transforming classic cocktails and mixed drinks into versions that deliver unmistakable taste without the alcohol.


“Consumers want more than just an alternative,” says Kevin Nitz, vice president of non-alc beverages for Molson Coors, “They want a sophisticated, great-tasting option that aligns with
their lifestyle. Naked Life provides a high-quality non-alc cocktail, delivering an experience of the best alc based versions,” said Nitz. “After you taste Naked Life, I dare you to believe it’s not a full-strength cocktail.”


Crafted with distilled botanicals, Naked Life is designed to deliver the same experience of traditional cocktails, with less than 10 calories per can and made with natural sweeteners.
Molson Coors will launch Naked Life in the U.S online and in select retail locations starting March 2025. The initial launch will include five of Naked Life’s most loved RTD cocktail
varieties:


- Mojito: Lightly sparkling, citrusy lime and fresh mint flavors complement the rich brown
sugar and rum notes.
- Negroni Spritz: A sweet blend of cherry, lemon and orange extracts combined with the
bitters of cinchona and bitter orange.
- Gin and Tonic: Distilled botanicals and extracts of lemon, bitter orange, and cinchona
top noted with juniper berry.
- Cosmo: Refreshing cranberry paired with zesty lime and top noted with orange liquor
notes
- Margarita: A tart, citrusy and salty experience crafted with lime extract, unmistakable
tequila notes and just the right amount of salt, subtly top noted with a pot-distilled
botanical blend.


With growth in the non-alc RTD category, which is up nearly 70% in the U.S. over the past year. Naked Life highlights the unmet desire for drinks that offer the same premium experience as alcohol options.
“The consumer market is shifting and is demanding more low and no-alc options, but the availability of truly great-tasting alternatives has been slow to catch up,” Naked Life founder,
David Andrew explains.


Naked Life will join a portfolio of brands from Molson Coors that welcome all drinkers. From beers to hard seltzers, premium spirits and non-alc options, Naked Life further expands the roster of Molson Coors’ portfolio of beverages that are perfect for any occasion.


"This partnership aligns perfectly with both companies’ goals to innovate and meet the evolving needs of today’s consumers, allowing us to rethink the beverage landscape for the future,” said Andrew.
