Three Spirit Non-Alcoholic Alternative Spirit - The Social, 50cl | Adaptogens, Cacao, Damiana & Lion's Mane | Active Botanical, Gluten Free & Vegan Drinks

I wish this was either less expensive or came in a bigger bottle, but otherwise I am a fan of this product. It certainly has a different taste to it (not amazing, not terrible - the ginger is evident), so I like to mix it with some cranberry juice. What I love about this drink after consuming it is how it makes me feel which is: I feel good and truly energized. But not in a hyper, energy-drink way. It feels healthy, like natural energy, which I think is what most people are looking for. I know everyone is different, but I haven't found another product that gives me such a great boost that also feels healthy and doesn't leave a negative after effect (sugar crash, tired, hungry, etc.). That's why I continue to purchase this product and would definitely recommend.

I recently tried an alcohol substitute elixir, and while it tasted fine, it completely failed to deliver on its promises. I expected it to provide a similar relaxed or flirty feeling to alcohol, but it didn’t give me the slightest buzz. For the price, which was comparable to a nice bottle of alcohol that would typically last me 2-3 months, this was a complete waste of money. It felt like I paid a premium for a glorified flavored beverage. I will not be buying anything like this again and can’t recommend it to anyone looking for an actual alcohol alternative. Save your money.

Excellent flavor. I like to drink this straight, as a shot. It contains valerian root, which is what helps you sleep. You won't feel sleepy after taking a shot, but if you go to bed an hour later, you will sleep well. Valerian root usually smells awful, but not in this drink. You mainly taste the botanicals, which have a rich, strong flavor. Just understand, this isn't liquor and it's not supposed to taste like liquor. It tastes like a rich, strong drink.

I did enjoy the taste of this drink right out of the bottle, on ice or with club soda. First time I tied it, I woke up the next morning feeling very groggy. Took a couple of days to get back to normal. A few days later I tried it again and did not have any negative effects. Two weeks later I had another and woke up the next morning with an awful headache, as if I were hungover. Each time I had the equivalent of a shot. While it checks the box on taste and "ritual" for me, it's not worth the price, and certainly not worth feeling hungover. The remains are going down the drain. It's a one and done for me.

The most important thing to remember, IMO, is that it’s tough to generate taste-alikes when it comes to N/A spirits. That’s what lines like Three Spirits are for—to fill the gap and to create something completely new. This one is interesting, and it’s tasty when combined with Ginger Beers or Ales and Fruit Juices. I think it needs some light-handed sweetness added to round out its edges. It’s definitely unlike most things out there. While the experience is different for everyone, I pick up a pickled watermelon taste. So while it’s interesting to sip, it’s probably not for most palates. While I can appreciate it, I’m not sure I’d buy again. My favorite N/A spirit remains The Pathfinder.

IF you are looking for an interesting drink that mimics an after-work drink or nightcap give a try once. Not exactly like an alcoholic drink, but on ice, it's not bad. Good with an icy tonic. Spicy, fruity, like an aprcot. So I'm going to enjoy the fact that I can drink something that's good for me. Pricey? Yup! All the more reason to enjoy it sparingly.

Don't buy liquids from Amazon! The moment you open the bottle, you lose the option of return. This item is terrible, and I tried to return it and another item for the same reason. After the normal Amazon runaround, they told me it was nonreturnable. I would have done better buying it from a Costco, where I could have taken it back. That being said, this product is undrinkable, too expensive and it smells weird. The color is a muddy red color, and if nothing else, it'll cure your drinking problem because of its taste, or send you back to drinking alcohol because of its taste. Amazon and this product are two reasons to save your money.

Taste good. Don't work
