  • Striking, elevated packaging design
  • Distinctive, complex flavor profiles
  • Notable calming dream light effects
  • Versatile mocktail mixing potential
  • Often bitter, herbal aftertaste
  • Inconsistent mood‑enhancing effects
  • Overly intense carbonation cans
  • Unpleasant texture or mouthfeel

Kin Euphorics earns mixed reviews: the brand delights with striking packaging and certain flavors—especially Lightwave, Kin Spritz, Bloom, and Actual Sunshine—while many reviewers praise subtle relaxation or a gentle buzz, particularly from Dream Light at night. However, dissatisfaction centers on bitter, herbal taste profiles (Spritz, High Rhode, Lightwave for some), inconsistent or negligible effects, overly intense carbonation, and occasional adverse reactions; reviews suggest Kin is a stylish non‑alcoholic ritual that can work for mood, but flavor and reliability vary by palate and product.

  • 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?

    The flavors are shockingly strong. I might like a more toned-down version with more neutral notes.

  • I bought one of these a while ago excited to try a unique "health" drink with adaptogens and featured as a cocktail substitute. I didn't care for the flavor I tried, but it's been a while and I'd like to give it a go again.

  • 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.

  • I love the cans of spritzers! My fave alcohol alternative.

  • 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.

  • This product didn't work for me. I had heart palitations all night and a hangover in the morning.

  • I love the product! I’ve been drinking Kin for years now. The taste and effect are both great! My favorite things is no added sugars!

  • 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.

  • Yummy. Helps me drink less alcohol. Live Life Boldly by drinking Kin with my friends.

  • 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.

  • The first time I brought this for my party for a non-alcoholic option, no one liked it. Then I decided to give it another try and bought the Heart one and it was disastrous. I almost finished one can, maybe 30-40 mins later, I started throwing up. I’ve NEVER thrown up so much in my life. Before I started puking, I did feel distracted and have anxiety, so this drink doesn’t even deliver on a nice buzz or high. I still feel traumatized from all that puking, and I feel bad because I was hosting a party and my guests were shocked. It also made my stomach extremely bloated and tight. There was nothing else I drank or ate that could’ve been an issue. Even when I have had a little too much with hard alcohol or wine, it was never this bad. Stay away from this product!
