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.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
This was for sure a unique experience for me. When I first tried the bottle of High Rhode, I didn't care much for the taste, but it was easy to mix with a juice or a seltzer. It didn't really hit me the first time I tried it, and also because I was alone and went to sleep immediately after. But on another day, I had a glass during a Zoom happy hour call, and it was so strange because I was feeling a buzz similar to when I drink alcohol. I'm sure this kicks in during more social events? Maybe a placebo effect?
I really love the concept, branding, and flavor of Kin, but to be honest I've only once felt the effects and I've had it probably 5-6 times now. However, that one time I felt it, it was truly excellent. While I wish it were more reliable, I still love that it tastes great, can be made into a variety of cocktails, and feels high end -- when i'm hosting people and making drinks, I can easily blend in with my friends who drink.

More consistent effects would make this a perfect product!
I tried their Dream Light and it didn't taste very good. I even tried mixing it with milk as they suggested but that wasn't palatable either. I couldn't finish a serving and it made me feel like I was hung over. It wasn't pleasant so I never tried it again.
I’m early in my sober curious movement. I am obsessed with Kins branding and influencer collabs but am not sold on the taste quite yet. I’d like to try a few more flavors before I fully decide if this is a product I could enjoy regularly.
I like the packaging and the beverage tastes alright. I can't say I experienced any of the advertised effects.

Super unremarkable. Tastes surprisingly bad, the can looks cheap, and it is not even classified by the FDA as a drink (it is a supplement, meaning they can make whatever claims they can because the FDA is not required to review statements about supplements). The ingredients they list as doing something are all shams (seriously, anyone who has recently taken entry-level cellular biology knows how problematic it would be if ingested GABA was actually inhibitory). It's just not a good drink, and at 5 dollars a pop for the can and $40 for the bottle, its not worth it even for those who want to faux-drink.

It just feels like a snake oil product, which would be more okay if it didn't taste so bad. The packaging is also uninspiring, and there is very little to recommend about this drink.
Loved the packaging and idea of this drink, I tested the Kin Lightwave. Flavor was pleasant - nothing too memorable, it reminded me of a herbal ice tea. I do recall feeling some relaxation but because it's not a unique flavor and at the price point it is, I would go back to making my own hot teas.
Erghhhh this wasn’t for me. Not sure if my palate is just not refined enough, but the taste of this was not my cup of tea. I can’t even comment on the effects because I couldn’t drink enough to feel them.

I just don’t think this product’s taste profile is for me. Cool packaging though!

Love the branding, but waaayy too bitter for me. I tried the Kin Spritz and it did give me the energy/mental boost that it said it would. Good for a pick me up, but not good for sipping -- you've got to gulp it down. Update: I tried the new Kin Blossom flavor...it's like Summer in a can. I can get behind this one.
I really like the flavor and the branding is unparalleled. I also love the tiny cans, so fun and easy to carry to a picnic or bbq.
Feedback
It's pretty sweet and strong, would not recommend drinking more than one in a row.

As always, I am a sucker for branding. Sad to report that the taste didn't match the hype for me. I tried the night time one, Dream Light, and had a hard time finishing the small portion I poured.

A less intense taste.

Tastes nice but I didn't feel any effects
I didn't love this flavor or feel much of anything.

Obsessed. Especially love Actual Sunshine which basically tastes like pineapple juice, but better. Also love that it's gently caffeinated and has vitamin D. <3
Tasted horrible. There are better options out there, especially for the price point.

I tried the Spritz and Bloom flavors. Spritz was absolutely horrible with a bitter orange flavor that never left my mouth. Bloom was actually really lovely and and balanced, perfect to have with a meal when I didn’t want to drink. I didn’t feel any calmer or anything. Just a nice drink. Brand aesthetic is on point though

Doesn’t do anything for me? Not a bad taste, but not really worth the price if it doesn’t live up to its claims.
Feedback
Meh. Maybe it works for people with different body chemistry than mine.
I wanted to love these - from the celeb influencer to the health benefits and the impeccable branding - but I don't. The latest leaves a lot to be desired for. The price is on trend with other health beverages but unimpressed with Kin. Wouldn't recommend
Love, love, LOVE! Kin Euphorics are the perfect alcohol alternative - they make you feel relaxed and have unique flavor profiles. Kin Spritz has a unique summery flavor and is best served over ice. It has a bit of caffeine to give you a boost if you're going out. Kin Lightwave is more for winding down, I really enjoyed the lavender vanilla flavor. Kin Actual Sunshine is my fave - it has a lovely pineapple taste that is great in the morning time.
I wanted to love Kin Euphorics, but I just don't. The taste is really hard to get past, though I do feel some effects from it. I wish it were more palatable -- the blue can flavor is one of the worst canned beverages I've ever had. The yellow label in the bottle (not the can) is okay when mixed with seltzer water.
