De Soi earns mixed reviews: many find it a sophisticated, non-alcoholic aperitif with standout flavors like Golden Hour, Très Rosé, Champignon Dreams, Purple Lune, and Italiano Spritz that are fruity, bitter-leaning, and relaxing, while others call several SKUs undrinkable with earthy, perfumed bitterness and odd aftertastes. Reviews praise elegant packaging, convenient cans, and vegan, gluten-free, low‑sugar formulas, but note inconsistent flavor profiles, minimal or no “functional” effects for some, and occasional hangover‑like reactions.
This drink tastes a lot like a non-alcoholic lemonade and unfortunately made me want to reach for one of my "usuals" after being sober for nearly a year. That's not a knock on the drink though and means it can be used as a good substitute for alcoholic lemonade drinks.
I wasn't sure if I would like this drink, but this one tastes pretty decent and maybe even good for a non-alcoholic drink. I couldn't see myself going out of my way for it, but I wouldn't turn this one down.
Honestly, it is a great product (I enjoyed the flavor), but I don't know if I would purchase it for myself, as there was nothing super special about it that sets it apart from other non-alcoholic beverages.
Honestly love this product. Champagne Dreams is my favorite of the two major products. At first pour the bubbles bring me so much joy. I felt like the description was spot on I could taste all the flavor notes, apricot forward with lingering syrupy strawberry, and a bitter grapefruit finish. It’s fruity without being overly sweet and doesn’t have the over powering vinegar taste I have found with other non-alcoholic alternatives. (If you’re not a bitter girly definitely pass on this one)

In their own words
/DE•SWA/
De Soi is a range of sparkling non-alcoholic apéritifs with natural adaptogens, inspired by the French ethos of pleasure and restraint.
Co-founders Katy Perry and Morgan McLachlan, teamed up to make a more considered choice for happy hour. De Soi was created as a way to find pleasure without the proof. It’s an apéritif made for moments you don't want to forget, whether you’re laughing with friends over dinner or indulging in a solo toast to yourself. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
As creative professionals and busy moms with a shared love for a spritz, the two wanted a drink that was bubbly and delicious, but that didn’t get in the way of early mornings and long nights. A drink that was truly fun to sip on, and still allowed us to feel present and engaged while taking the lead. A drink that married our passion for plants and better-for-you ingredients with big, bold flavor and feel-good adaptogens.
Enjoy!
