Three Spirit Non-Alcoholic Alternative Spirit- The Livener, 50cl | Energizing with Natural Caffeine, ADAPTOGENS & Watermelon & Ginger | Multi-Award Winning Active botanical, Gluten Free & Vegan Drinks

I really enjoy this with diet ginger ale. It has a grown up taste and is not too sweet. Great alternative to alcohol. I don't notice any floaty feelings or feel more sociable when drinking it. I tend to only have 1 or 2 drinks due to it being expensive but it is cheaper on subscription from Amazon then buying directly from Three Spirits because you can just buy one bottle at a time and it is still free delivery for prime members.

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.

Being a frequent weekend drinker with a busy work schedule I thought it was time to try something new that wouldn't leave me with a 3 day hangover. In summary, I'm sorry I bothered. The box for my 3 spirit drink arrived nicely packed in shredded brown paper. Holding it above my head to the light and looking through the dark glass I could see a dimly glowing mixture welcoming me in. Alas it was a Thursday and having work at 7am the next day I decided to hold off given the promised effects of feeling "A little floaty and flirty from damiana, tulsi and cacao that combine to lift spirits and reduce inhibitions. After three doses, you'll be the life and soul of the party." Saturday afternoon arrived so enough however and I had a BBQ planned. Finally no more hangovers I thought as I lifted the dark bottle down from my shelf and cracked open the seal. I tentatively poured out a shot into a tall shot glass and admired the dark pond water appearance. I then sniffed it and enjoyed the unusual aniseed aroma and drank it in one. The taste wasn't completely unpleasant, it was somewhere between sambucca that has been sitting in the sun for a while and prune juice but neither the less it wasnt great either. I continued to set up the bbq awaiting social excitement and lower inhibitions but after 10 mins decided that perhaps I needed to meet the recommended 3 doses so went back and drank 2 more shots. Half an hour later my friends began to arrive and I proclaimed I'd found the answer to our hangover problems proudly showing them my new bottle. Noone else wanted to try it. But knowing genius isn't always appreciated in its time I stuck to my guns having another 2 shots along with a burger. Eventually I felt a little upbeat - im not sure if it was the fact I was over half a bottle deep or a placebo given the sum of money I paid. So I took another shot for good measure. Unfortunately by 7 pm my friends were certainly much more merry than me so I decided it was time to finally call this experiment to an end and go and buy another tonic. Buckfast tonic wine it was called. As soon as that juicy nectar hit my tongue I rapidly became the life and soul of the party. The very effect I had been trying to achieve for the last 6 hours. And at a fraction of the price. Perhaps the Benedictine monks have divine intervention on their side - Im sad to say three spirits do not. Thanks for the experience guys but won't be trying again

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.

Elixir looks and tastes like prune juice with the similar effect. Drank the whole bottle with ginger beer as recommended, within three hours. Nothing. Nada. Save your money.
