Celebrations are as much a part of life as lemons are to citrus.
But while in the past it was simply a matter of loud music, full glasses, and silenced consciences, today one wonders:
Is it even possible anymore: to party without a guilty conscience?
The short answer: Yes, it's possible. But you have to rethink things a bit.
1. Sustainability doesn't start with a straw.
Sure, plastic straws have been out of fashion for a long time. But sustainability means more than that.
It's about conscious enjoyment . Those who drink should know what's in the glass, where it comes from, and who is behind it.
That's why at Zestery we focus on real ingredients, handcrafted products and short supply chains.
Our honey comes from a small beekeeping operation, the lemon juice is fresh from Berlin, and production takes place in small batches, not in endless factory lines.
2. Less quantity, more quality
We're not here to tell you to drink less. But maybe better.
An honest drink with good ingredients is worth more than five soulless concoctions with cheap alcohol and chemical additives.
Celebrating isn't about wasting – it's about enjoying the moment.
And that also works with a drink that was made with love.
3. Local labels instead of mass-produced goods
Berlin has everything: clubs, ideas, creativity. And above all: people who create something of their own.
Whether it's drinks, fashion or music, by supporting local labels you automatically strengthen sustainability.
Every Zestery bottle, every handmade fashion piece and every Lutki spritzer are small counter-designs to mass consumption.
We do this because we love it, not because it looks good on a banner.
4. Sustainability also has something to do with attitude.
Celebrating sustainably also means being respectful towards people, places and ideas.
No drink in the world is cool if it is produced at the expense of others.
That's why we at Cytry support the Club Commission, because for us club culture is not a party label, but a piece of freedom that must be protected.
5. And in the end, it's all about the vibe.
Sustainability is not a buzzword, but a feeling.
When you know where your drink comes from, when you feel good about what you consume, and when you have people around you who feel the same way, then that's sustainability, Zestery style.
Celebration and responsibility are not mutually exclusive.
You just need to approach it a little more honestly, consciously, and perhaps even more boldly.
Living sustainably doesn't mean you can't have fun.
Quite the opposite, we say: the more zest, the more life.
