Kin Euphorics wins praise in reviews for stylish packaging and complex, herbal flavors like Kin Spritz, Lightwave, Bloom, and Actual Sunshine, but the brand divides on efficacy: some feel relaxed, uplifted, or subtly “buzzed,” while many report no noticeable effects. Reviewers highlight sophisticated, bitter-leaning taste profiles and enjoyable sober-social rituals as strengths, while recurrent complaints include harsh or acquired flavors (especially Spritz/Lightwave), inconsistent effects, and issues like overpowering carbonation or short post-open shelf life for bottles.

This is based solely on the Kin Lightwave product. I enjoyed it as an alcohol alternative, but I can't say I felt any particular effects. I liked the flavor; which I can only describe as mild, non-sweet, slightly herbal (the lavender), and root beer-ish (the vanilla, is my guess).
Feedback
Agree with others on the price point. A 4-pack of lightwave costs about as much as a 6-pack of premade alcoholic cocktails. It'd be a 4/5 for me otherwise.
Noticed a difference! My roommate and I would take this in college and always notice that we were so happy that night and had so much fun.
Feedback
Taste is pretty bitter (hence the -1 rating) but it's worth it!

Kin notes: Precursor I love botanicals, don’t drink alcohol (2 - 3 times a year) by I consumer many cannabis beverages that contain terpenes to bring an aroma to the drink. Its very aperitif tasting with the bitter and herbal notes - there’s definitely the liquorice, orange peel and hibiscus taste coming through. Great for cocktails and winter occasions. It’s not a hydrating taste but I don’t think that’s it’s purpose - it’s indulgent, deep and sophisticated.
Tried the rising flow. Was excited to try it because the packaging is nice and I was looking for an alternative to coffee during the day. It was pretty gross - not a great taste

Taste
I tried one of their canned drinks and did not enjoy it. In fact, the flavor was so unpleasant that I poured most of it out. So bitter and the botanicals just didn't taste good. To be fair, I am pretty averse to anything bitter, so someone who loves IPAs might enjoy these. Maybe it's an acquired taste?
Feedback
The flavors are shockingly strong. I might like a more toned-down version with more neutral notes.

Kin has been a wonderful and welcome new find for me. Trying to cut back on alcohol has been so easy now that I have a fun, enjoyable alternative. The adaptogens and good-for-you nature of their drinks are a nice bonus for making an already healthier choice. Their website is clean and easy to navigate, while being visually appealing and informative. Overall 10/10 for Kin!

It's sooooo fun and special to have a cute little mocktail at home when I don't want a drink. I love the design & packaging & overall vibe of the Kin brand. The drinks itself are hit or miss depending on the flavor and effects of the ingredients in it. -Kin lightwave is the BEST for night time, when you want to unwind and relax and have a great night's sleep. 5/5 -Kin sleep is fun to have a shot in almond/oat milk with cinnamon. Also good for sleep, not as solid as lightwave. 4/5 -Kin high tide, bloom, actual sunshine are a nice replacement to a soda/pop beverage but honestly don't do much and are way too expensive. -The rest of them are just okay, I wouldn't spend my money on them. Overall the drinks are a treat but are way too overpriced for what they are. I enjoy the night time ones since they work really well, but the others are too expensive for me to spend my money on them.

I have enjoyed the Kin Euphorics. Once I saw they were available at Target, I got excited. However, they are really not available at any Target near me. Sigh!

I like it a lot and love the variety and small can size. It is a little ‘plant’-y for me, so I sometimes reach for something else, but I like the sleepy ones in the evening and overall enjoy it very much.

Kin Spritz and Actual Sunshine are my favorite beverages when I want to feel invigorated and relaxed at the same time. The flavors hit the spot, and the ingredients do what they say. Shipping has always been timely, and customer service is excellent.

I got into the brand with their Dream Light offering. I now regularly use that and High Rhode and I love them! I also recently had a wonderful experience with customer service. I get my subscription through their Amazon store I received a bad bottle. They were fantastic, and an actual person! They comped me a new bottle and I was really happy.

Kin is my go-to for non-alcoholic drinks. The Actual Sunshine and Kin Spritz are so tasty and keep me from drinking alcohol during the week. I like to enjoy one or two after work, before dinner, while I'm getting ready or just relaxing outside. I highly recommend them to anyone trying to limit their alcohol intake or to just enjoy and relax.

I love everything about this! The product, the shipping, the subscription service, the timeliness of responses - really incredible. The only issue I've had is with things running out from time time and having to wait for a restock.

Really love the flavors! Not too sweet and goes well in a mocktail. I find the effects to be subtle, but definitely noticeable.

Was hesitant that it was just flavored but actually felt quite relaxed and buzzed with the night time elixir. Perfect staying in drink. Mixed w something carbonated

I love Kin, it’s a bit pricey but you can save a little with subscriptions. Their subscription system is easy compared to some services which make it difficult to cancel or edit. I have tried the bottles and can and my favorite is the High Rhode bottle and the Kin Spritz and Kin Bloom cans. The cans are sparkling drinks, with Kin Spritz being the canned version of High Rhode and Light Wave being the canned version of Dream Light. They all taste good, aside from Light Wave which I feel is just okay, tastes like root beer which I’m not a fan of. I drink Kin daily and it does help me with energy and feeling more sociable which is great since I have anxiety. I have shared with a few friends and they have all felt their moods shift as advertised as well.
