Give me three Social Elixir & gingers and I will start to become mischievous. Whether that’s a placebo effect at play or the magic of plants, I can’t tell you, but there’s definitely more going on in a glass of this than you’ll get from a standard 0% spirit. All Three Spirit Social Elixir ingredients: The Social Elixir includes lion’s mane mushroom, yerba mate, cacao, and damiana, offering numerous health benefits:

Regarding anything that could be considered supplementation - please note the following: Livener contains natural caffeine and L-theanine from guayusa and green tea respectively, and Social Elixir contains damiana and is fortified with B-vitamins, and L-theanine (from green tea). Nightcap contains valerian. Cacao bean contains several active compounds, including mood-booster theobromine, and is the most potent way to get the stress-busting benefits commonly associated with chocolate Have you ever had a night out with friends, only to wake up the next day feeling sluggish and regretting those extra drinks? As someone who enjoys socializing and trying new drinks, I know that feeling all too well. That’s why I was excited to discover Three Spirit Drinks, a line of alcohol alternatives infused with adaptogens and other natural ingredients to give you a unique and health-conscious drinking experience. Watermelon – Bet you didn’t know watermelon was so good for you! Watermelon is a good source of hydration and essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, potassium, and lycopene, a powerful antioxidant. It may also have anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties that can benefit overall health.

It is so vital that people socialise, gather t ogether, share stories and jokes, forget your troubles or share them with a mate or even a stranger. These things are what we call c onnecti on and they have been happening for millennia, and often accompanied by booze of some kind. The alcohol helps grease the wheels of socialising, but socialising alone is the powerful holistic practice that helps keep us sane and happy, connected and in the loop. I also love that it’s made with natural ingredients like valerian root and ashwagandha, which have calming properties that really help me relax. The Nightcap is a soothing elixir to be enjoyed at the end of the evening. Designed as a slow-sipper it will provide a dreamy, mellow feeling – helping to calm the mind and soothe the body. Health benefits inside the Nightcap

The botanicals within the Nightcap include lemon balm, turmeric root, valerian root, Hüll Melon hops, white willow bark, liquorice root, vanilla, ginger and ashwagandha (an ancient medicinal herb found in India, Africa and parts of the Middle East). Mellow, calming and sleep-inducing, Nightcap is the Yin to Livener’s Yang. Lemon balm and Valerian are well-known for promoting better sleep, and for helping to calm the body and make it easier to get to sleep faster, but here’s a bit more info on some of the other ingredients. After drinking a lot more of it, I do wonder how much of that effect was down to us feeling that we were having an “adult drink” for the first time in ages. I think there is some caffeine in this one too, so you get a small boost from that. It’s certainly very enjoyable to drink, and perfect for when others around you are drinking – so fun, yes, flirty? I’m still on the fence on that score!Hüll Melon hops – yes, hops! Like beer, but not like beer, actually. Part of the same plant family as cannabis, hops are full of a compound group called terpenes which promote feelings of calm and relaxation

It isn’t going to cure chronic insomnia, but this tasty beverage does give you a nice snoozy feeling to end the night. All Three Spirit Nightcap ingredients: As someone who has lived with insomnia for my entire life, I’ll make a beeline for pretty much anything with Valerian in it, so I was just as excited to try the nighttime beverage in Three Spirit’s range as I was about revisiting the social tipple and testing out the energiser. Nightcap comes in my favourite of the three bougie bottle designs, and here’s what you need to know about what it has to offer. Flavour:Despite not being one of the main ingredients in the drink, for me the overwhelming taste in the Nightcap is ginger. So, if you’re not the biggest fan of that then I apologise! I, on the other hand, am a massive fan of the plant so a gingery spirit is 100% up my street. On the nose, it was incredibly herbal. At first I wasn’t so sure about the scent but I think it just took a second to adjust to the strength of the flavour, and once you were familiar with it it was delicious. Social Elixir is perfect for sipping, its “balancing effect” will keep you “blissful and tuned-in” throughout the evening. Health benefits inside the Social Elixir With many people reaching for alcoholic drinks because they feel that they ‘help to take the edge off’ a long day, or that they ‘warm you up’ for social occasions, there’s an obvious appeal to a range of alcohol alternatives that brings you those benefits without the negative side-effects that come with drinking booze.

A striking dark brown when poured, the opaque green bottle hides the colour of the liquid inside, giving it a certain sense of mystery. It has an intense flavour when drunk neat, with a bitter, gin-like aftertaste. It’s quite unlike any of the other teetotal spirits on the market – with a much more savoury taste. Our taste testers identified hints of liquorice, ginger, yeast and figs. If you like the sharp and earthy taste of kombucha, Three Spirit may be for you.

Watermelon isn’t just in here for flavour – the L-citrullinein watermelon helps to regulate energy levels and manage blood pressure so that you don’t start to feel like you’ve over-indulged They wrote, “ It’s like a caffeine hit without the jumpy edge.” The review concluded, “ The effect is good and – to me – noticeable. I’m always ready to get stuff done after one of these.”
