The brand

Paapi Coffee Absinthe is billed as Asia's first coffee absinthe - dark Indian coffee blended with absinthe botanicals at 49% ABV, made by Mumbai-based Craft AlcoBev, the team behind La'Ananta. As a category-first launch available in Goa and Maharashtra, its Instagram is the front line for building taste, ritual and recognition.

The brief

Launching a category-first spirit means teaching and tempting at once. Content had to explain what coffee absinthe even is, give it a face and a ritual, and carry enough personality to stand out in a crowded drinks feed.

Introduce a brand-new, category-first product with a clear, intriguing hook.
Give the brand a face through founder-led content people can trust.
Mix fun, reviews and serve ideas so the feed entertains as it educates.
Hold a bold, irreverent voice that matches the bottle and the name.

The approach

01

Founder-led storytelling

We put the founder on camera to tell the why behind the brand - the idea, the craft, the conviction - so a category no one's heard of arrives with a face and a story people can buy into.

02

Fun, reviews & serves

The feed runs the full range - fun, trend-led reels, honest tastings and reviews, and serve ideas - so it entertains while it teaches people how to drink something they've never tried.

03

A voice as bold as the bottle

Every piece carries one irreverent, confident voice - the same swagger as the name - so Paapi reads as a brand with attitude, not just another bottle on the shelf.
