Three Spirit Non-Alcoholic Alternative Spirit - The Elixir, 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.

I've seen a lot of reviews here, a lot of them bad and all the good ones only seem to focus on the taste. So I thought I'd write my own opinion here. I've only had two drinks so far, but I can already say it's something I like and find quite pleasant. There is a very noticeable change in my perceptions and feelings. It's marketed as something to make you feel more lively, which it may actually do when in the right setting. Almost immediately, that my visual perception had changed. I felt my visual cortex had become alive and I was immensely more focused on my visual perception and experience. Like I could stare and kind of meditate at a simple image for hours. I did it shortly before downloading a new computer game so I found it somewhat helpful in keeping me engaged long enough to understand the basics of the game. This would probably be good at parties if you're feeling a bit sluggish and want to correct that. Taste wise, I don't think it was that bad. It tasted a bit like Bloody Mary, but less disgusting. I don't think I've tried Bloody Mary before (maybe only once), but it's basically tomato juice, which is revolting. This probably tastes a bit more like Bloody Mary than tomato juice because Bloody Mary probably has other ingredients to make it sharper, like the Livener drink. It's a bit much to enjoy for anything other than special occasions, though. It's nice, but not something so powerful and effective that it'll last for ages and is really worth the money. It's a nice novelty gift for someone who likes feeling sober, but finds parties boring. I'm a recovering alcoholic, so this might be good for family meals.

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.

This is a great product. I’ve been using it for a very long time now.
