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.

Tried a couple of flavors. Just ok. Don’t love sweet carbonated water.
I bet this is a great product as far as ingredients but the taste was not appealing to me. It was strong but underwhelming as far as flavor.

Better flavoring.
Have been a fan of this OG non alc product for years. So excited to see what Bella Hadid will bring to the brand!
Kin has been a pioneer in the sober/sober-curious beverage space, and I applaud them for that! However, when I tried their Lightwave beverage, I was disgusted. It tasted like a mix of dirt and a strongly scented wax candle. I’m someone with an open mind and open palette, but I could not continue sipping on this drink. I would love to give Kin another try, however, and would be open to trying other flavors.
I've tried a few Kin Euphorics flavors, and Lightwave is the only one I actually enjoy. The blend of lavender, vanilla, and sea salt is smooth and well-balanced without being overpowering. While it's marketed as a wind-down drink, I don't just drink it before bed—I reach for it whenever I want something calming but not too sedating. Kin drinks aren't cheap, and I don't always feel a major effect. Still, Lightwave is a solid non-alcoholic option when I want something functional and relaxing. I just wish they had more flavors with this kind of profile because I really can't stand the taste of the other options.

Great alternative to alcohol. Nice to see other products come on the market. Flavors are delicious.

The brand is so easy to be lured into, but their products actually deliver! I feel more energized with actual sunshine, and kim bloom makes me feel at ease, romanticizing my life. Truly a luxurious, special little treat.
Branding is cool; flavors are kind of just ok - agreed with another reviewer that it’s a bit too “earthy.” Not sure they have the desired effect (calming, energizing, etc.) - feels a little like a placebo.

I tried both the 'day' and 'night' versions of this and enjoyed the ritual of it, but am not sure about the 'proven benefits'. Pros: The nighttime ritual of heating it up and sipping on it was really nice and I enjoyed the chai-esk flavor. I do think it helped me sleep, but not exactly like taking melatonin or another sleep aid. I also liked the flavor of the daytime drink, but not as much as the evening one. Cons: So expensive. I would spend a fortune on this if I used it every day and night as the brand suggests. The bottles are really large and unweildy, so pouring it out into my glasses is an adventure all on it's own. Not really sure the daytime version does anything - I didn't find a boost in my energy or mood after consuming it.
Kin is an amazing non-alcoholic option for people still looking for a mood shift with their social sippers. Love the fact that you can choose the amount of sweetness to add to your drink. A lot of other n/a options do that for you, Kin is a lot more customizable in terms of how you mix comparatively!

I would love if the canned options had a bit more carbonation to them! :)

As someone who is a light drinker I was pretty elated when Kin hit the scene. Now there are enough options to fill a whole store (see Boisson). Kin is great in social situations when you just need something cool and fizzy in your hand. I can also attest that one can won't produce much of an effect but I did go to one of their events years ago, had at least four drinks and felt euphoric after. Take that as you will.
Tastes weird and doesn't have any noticeable benefits. Nice packaging but thats about it!
I love kin! I've only tried Lightwave so far but was impressed with how well it worked! Excited to try the other flavors as a non-alc alternative.
HMMMM. I wanted to love this but I didn't. I have lots of friends who are going sans alcohol. I purchased several bottles of Kin as gifts. The bottles are beautifully packaged. But, beyond that I did not like the taste. I tried adding lots of fresh fruits and juices to KIN + seltzer. But, in the end, I was not satisfied.
Was extremely skeptical, but am now a believer. Had a can of Kin Bloom Beaming Joy on an empty stomach before going out, and I genuinely felt buzzed. Paired really nice with bud, turned some very mid bud into a state of euphoria.
Feedback
Quite pricey at ~$5 for a tiny can, that may or may not work on most people.
Love the concept, the packaging, and the fact that it's a non-alcoholic drink that still has ingredients to help you relax in social situations. The flavors were great too and I did feel more relaxed (placebo effect or not). A bit expensive, but IMO it kind of lends itself to being a treat, rather than something you constantly drink all day.
Feedback
I personally tried the cans and was a bit surprised that it was sparkling - I personally don't love sparkling and this was VERY very sparkling where it was hard to drink. I would love it they came out with non-sparkling can options.

I like the drinks, they taste fine but are just way too expensive in my opinion. The socialize one does perk me up but mostly just from the caffeine and did not feel a difference from the relax. I do appreciate more low/no alcohol options becoming mainstream so am grateful for Kin for that.

The price
I want to like this product...the branding is clean and the idea is exciting. But the taste is like a really watered-down olipop and the price for a can is way too high. As more non-alcoholic bevs hit the market, you can find better elsewhere.
Surprisingly enjoyed!
Kin really helped me get through my first week of sobriety, as all I wanted was to reach for a drink! Every flavor is delicious, as I have tried all of the canned beverages now. Kin Spritz is perfectly not too sweet and I enjoy the little boost of caffeine in it. Kin Bloom is my favorite for the park, its like a jammy sweet bubbly rose. I prefer this to the De Soi tres rose. Actual Sunshine is my favorite, as it also has some caffeine and the pineapple is sweet and uplifting. Lightwave I save for evenings at home, watching a movie. It is good, and very herbaceous so if you are into that, try it! In terms of feeling, I do notice some weight being lifted off my back when I drink Kin. The adaptogens are great. I also adore the packaging, so ethereal and cute! I have yet to try the bottled spirits, but I will soon! Thank you Kin for having my back during this alcohol free journey!
