NA Series: Non-Alcoholic Spirits

It was a tall order- bringing in Non-alcoholic Spirits.

We wanted to bring in sophisticated beverages that offered more than empty calories and sugary alternatives. We looked for beverages abundant in adaptogens, with nootropic effects that you can actually feel. Thus creating a subtle shift in mood-such as an energizing or calming effect. Much like one might be seeking when typically reaching for an alcoholic beverage.

In combination to abstaining alcohol, we also found it possible to forgo the sugary base. Instead opting for plant-based, botanical rich beverages created with purpose. With the following brands, indulge in the ritual without the consequences. Enjoy these health-enriching beverages with endless drink recipe combinations.

Rasāvāda | Rasāvāda considers its specialty beverages: "Zero-proof Spirit Restoratives – invigorating 100% whole-plant decoctions uniquely crafted using unhurried techniques from herbalism, tea traditions, and traditional eastern medicine." We brought in two sophisticated blends that entice the tastebuds: Rose Bergamot and Black Ginger. For a simple recipe, just add sparkling water. For a more complex option, see recipes here.

Kin Euphorics | Rooted in Ayurvedic medicine, Kin Euphorics is a functional beverage, designed to offer an entourage effect by using natural ingredients that nourish the mind and body. High Rhode is a lively social tonic, with feel-good GABA, Rhodiola Rosea, and a touch of caffeine. While Dream Light serves as the perfect nightcap with L-Theanine, L-Tryptophan, Reishi, and Magnesium. Try the latter with warm oat milk for a comforting hug in a mug. See other recipe ideas here.

Bonbuz | Bonbuz is woman-owned business one part buzz and two part sass- all without alcohol. As they state;
"Here to electrify drinking culture with the next-generation of buzz, our non-alcoholic social spirits are packed with nootropics and adaptogens to heighten your senses and transport you to a deeper mind-body experience."
We brought in Slowburn; with notes of blood orange, grapefruit, and jalepeño. Whereas Bittersweet Citron, hits with citrus, ginger, and gentian. (Also known as bitter root). Both are packed with 950+ mgs of nootropics, adaptogens, and amino acids. Combine with sparkling water, or try the complex flavor profiles of recipes here.

Drømme | Drømme, is a Danish word that means 'dream.' This small-batch purveyor out of San-Diego dreamt big. They dreamt of a world "where cocktail culture can be classic without getting hazy." They wanted to develop complex flavor profiles that add intrigue to any occasion. Awake is plentiful in botanics such as guava leaf, Schisandra- known as the Five Flavor Berry, and spice of Szechuan Pepper. Plus it's enlivened with energizing Guayusa Extract and Ginseng Extract. Calm is a soothing beverage with botanics of ginger, lemon balm, and turmeric. Additionally, Valerian Root, L-Theanine, and 5-HTP- invite a peaceful presence. See the possible drink combinations here.
