Willoughby also encourages you to reflect on what you want your future to look like, as this could allow you to work out how changing your drinking could help you achieve that goal. Some people share their newfound curiosity on social media, which helps to normalise wanting to be more thoughtful about your drinking. As Laura Willoughby, founder of the world's largest mindful drinking movement Club Soda, adds, "connecting with others online creates a sense of community and is a way to create some accountability for your change – it’s important to know that you are not alone." And then it's once you actually decide to take permanent action following your curiosity, that you may become a mindful drinker, or completely sober. As far as non-alcoholic drinks go, Three Spirit’s original range are some of the best options on the market right now. I’ve been working my way through an array of 0% gins, ciders and lagers lately, as well as trying out some 0% wines – and I can honestly say that the Three Spirit drinks reviewed here sit firmly at the top of my personal chart for grown-up drinks choices that don’t contain booze (or the risk of a hangover). Guayasa is said to give you a euphoric feeling, fuelled by naturally-occurring caffeine, theobromine and powerful antioxidant compounds
Three Spirit’s core range of drinks includes the Livener, Social Elixir and Nightcap – and we were very fortunate to be gifted with all three for a taste test and review.
Mellow adaptogenic leaf
Green tea is another plant that’s naturally high in caffeine as well as loaded with polyphenols, so between this and the guayasa you’re pretty much guaranteed to get a healthy buzz if energy is what you need Did you know that you can grow your own Green Tea in the UK? A few companies even harvest their own brews. Camellia sinsensis is well suited to life in the UK, as it would usually grow above the cloud line in the Himalayas, plants can cope with temperatures down to -10C (14F). Three Spirit describes the Night Cap as woody, mellow and smooth, which I would have to agree with at first sniff. They advise that customers enjoy the drink styled as an old fashioned or straight over ice, and I opted for the latter.
Served with tonic and nothing else, I got a hint of sweetness with a balance of fire and spice from Livener. In fact, when I enthusiastically tipped the end of the glassful into my gob, there was a perfect end heat to follow the pomegranate and berry notes I was getting as I sipped. My experience with each of the drinks was that they tasted enjoyable, they served their purpose, you could dress them up and down to your own desire, and miraculously I found that their claim to alter your mood wasn't unfounded.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 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. I have been known to partake in a no-or-low alcohol craft beer such as Impossibrew, as well as being a big fan of Kombucha as an alcohol free alternative, HipHop kombucha is particularly delicious and they are currently offering 50% off their 6 bottle taster kit. Note: reducing alcohol consumption, or going sober overnight, may not be an option for everyone. For some people, total abstinence could be the only way to go – if you're worried about your relationship with alcohol or fear you may be dependent upon it, speak to a doctor or trusted organisation, such as Alcohol Change UK . In a nutshell, drinking less itself has a whole host of benefits – some people might find it reduces their anxiety symptoms or see an improvement in their mental health, others realise that they’ve got a lot more energy and sleep better without overdoing it on the tipple. You also won’t get hangovers – big win.
This one’s all about energy and euphoria. While Shisandra berry is better known to some as a plant that helps to fight symptoms of the menopause, and is also one of the OG adaptogens, it’s the Guayusa and green tea that do a lot of the heavy lifting in this concoction.
Bring the water to a gentle simmer and cover. Simmer for 20-30 minutes, or until petals have lost colour and are pale. Leave too cool with the lid on. White willow bark, also called ‘nature’s aspirin’, is a much-loved natural painkiller that can aid rest thanks to its anti-inflammatory and and soothing properties You’ve got to hand it to Three Spirit, the styling of these drinks is pretty special. When I’m opting for a sober night of drinking I still want to be able to feel ritzy and like I’m having a treat, and there’s something incredibly pleasing about all of these bottles. Anyway, I know it looks like I’ve made the same drink twice but I promise it’s a Livener and tonic in this one. Here’s the inside scoop on the palate and the point. Flavour:
