It’s Happy Every Hour somewhere and today we are featuring Three Spirit Social Elixir. Three Spirit products are alcohol-free and powered by plants. Sounds too good to be true, right? Designed by plant scientists and bartenders, Three Spirit offers you a functional and healthier booze alternative.
About Three Spirit
They are on a mission to show the world alcohol-free doesn’t mean pleasure-free. After years spent in libraries, labs, bars and fields, they’ve created plant-based alternatives to alcohol. Their products celebrate what you put into a drink, rather than what you take out. Created by a mix of plant scientists, world-class bartenders, hedonists, herbalists and artists, it’s probably why they feel, taste and do everything a little differently.
Their drinks combine plants used for centuries in ceremonies and potions to stimulate the palate, mind and body. Alchemy is at the heart of everything they do. Three Spirit is about creating happier, healthier ways to socialize through alcohol-free drinks that encourage shared ideas, experiences and encounters, and we’re very excited to see where that goes.

Social Elixir
Overview
This dark herbal elixir is the ultimate social companion and mood elevator. Natural, blissful feeling with lion’s mane mushroom, yerba mate and damiana. Full-bodied and bittersweet with a curious savory bite.
Taste
From powerful plants comes powerful flavors! Bright, dry spices on the nose lead to rich, complex dark apple and cacao notes.
Feeling
A little floaty and flirty from damiana, tulsi and cacao which combine to lift spirits and reduce inhibitions. After three doses, you’ll be the life and soul of the party!
TRIGGER WARNING: People in early sobriety may want to proceed with caution. Always read labels. Only you know your body and what you should or shouldn’t be putting in it. Please hydrate responsibly … because drunk never looks good.
ADVISORY: Three Spirit contains powerful plants and is not for everyone. If you are under 18, you should not drink Three Spirit. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking specific medication (such as opiates, sedatives, SSRIs, MAOIs, anti-alcohol or blood pressure medication) or have a longstanding medical condition, you should check with your doctor before consuming Three Spirit.
Social Elixir – Light & Stormy Alcohol-Free Recipe
Like ginger? This is a wonderful twist on a classic. Fiery ginger pairs well with the candied rum qualities of Three Spirit to offer a familiar flavor without the booze.
- Ingredients: 2 fluid oz. Social Elixir + Ginger Beer or Ginger Ale + 1 Fresh Lime
- Fill tall glass with ice
- Pour Social Elixir in
- Top off with Ginger Beer or Ginger Ale
- Add Lime wheel garnish
- I also enjoyed squeezing in a bit of fresh squeezed lime juice
I really enjoyed this recipe. Personally, I did not have any “feelings” that came from drinking it. I didn’t feel floaty or flirty. One serving was all I needed to pair with my meal. I did really enjoy the complex taste. I’m also a huge ginger everything fan.
Sober Curator Pro Tip: If you LOVE ice like I do, you might want to invest in the Cuisinart Snow Cone Ice Machine. It takes about about the same amount of counter space as a toaster. It’s easy to use and easy to clean. I use it several times a week.
