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.

I wish it was a little cheaper
The NA market is taking so many cues from the alcohol market to bring intrigue and allure into a category that has typically been boring and bland. Kin is no exception here. The marketing and packaging is great, which is important because arguably they're selling you a vibe, or a feeling more than they're selling you a functional beverage. I've tried High Rhode, Kin Bloom, Lightwave and Dream Light. High Rhode is hibiscus and notes of currant. I found it held up well when mixed with a cinnamon simple syrup and soda. Kin Bloom is pure Strawberry Kiwi. Gonna be honest and say that it took me back to a Capri Sun flavor, but I mean that in the best way. Light Wave was alright. I'm not sure I unlocked Inner Peace, but I wanted to? So I guess it worked there. Dream Light is like a nice spiced chai concentrate and therefore I think it's best enjoyed treating it like that. Obviously pairs nicely with milk or milk alternatives. A great night cap.

I'd love more recipes. Either from the brand or curated from the community. How should I serve it for maximum enjoyment? If I really want to Summon Calm or Activate my Optimism should I drink from the can? Of course that's an option, but it's more experience than it is drink. So what style of cocktail glass or cocktail should I do? Who in the community is really running with the product.
The Kin Spritz from Kin Euphorics is one of my favorite 0.0ABV beverages. The taste is earthy and a bit sweet and puts me in a state of bliss.
Feedback
Not sweet at all and definitely is an acquired taste.

I can't say I felt anything but I think the brand is cool and the idea is innovative.
In Short: The flavors are disappointing and didn't feel any difference from the adaptogenics. I was excited to try these but unfortunately was very disappointed, I would return them if I could! Not only are the flavors poor, but after trying all three of the cans, not one provided any "peace", "social energy", or "joy" as stated... even after drinking multiple. Additionally, I found it upsetting that Kin does not offer any sort of satisfaction guarantee for their products, trying food/beverages online can be tricky and after ordering their variety pack I am sad to say that I would rather return them all.

Offering returns/satisfaction guarantees.
I really enjoyed the Kin canned drink, Lightwave. With the lightwave flavor, I thought this was a splendid, calming beverage where I truly can feel the calming effect after drinking. It can be a little milky on the tongue at first, but the herbal and floral notes come through after. This has a very calming effect on the stomach and for me, helped to digest food, calm nerves or just supplement a coffee if I wanted something else in the afternoon. I did not enjoy the other flavor of the canned product near as much. I have not tried the made-to-mix beverages by themselves or with alcohol.
I am a sucker for packaging and Kin's whole aesthetic is A+. That being said, I drink alcohol regularly and wouldn't say that this can replace alcohol by any means - I would look to Ghia or Seedlip for that. I got a few packs of the Spritz at a discount and like to pop one open and pour over ice before I head out with friends (it says it has caffeine in it so I guess it does give me a bit of a buzz..?) I wouldn't pay full price for the spritzes but maybe would get the full size High Rhode just to mix with seltzer when I don't want to drink during the weekend...all the purported effects/benefits are BS in my opinion.

Needs to be cheaper.
The night one was relaxing, just doesn’t taste good and can’t move beyond that. I never felt stimulated, but the daytime was tastes better. I tried the night time one with milk as suggested, yuck! One of my bottles came broken, and the customer service was excellent.

Sell a smaller volume tester set. It only stays good for a week once opened in the fridge, and you could never drink that much that quickly.

I actually really enjoyed this. The taste took a little getting used to because it was earthier than I expected but I really did feel like my mood perked up after drinking! Would buy again

I enjoyed Kin Lightwave, and I do feel like it was effective. Would like to see these in a larger format.
I've had the original Kin mixed with oj. The bottle is aesthetically pleasing although it is impossible to keep from making a mess while pouring and storing. I'm not sure that it has any effects other than caffeine but it's interesting to try anyway. Definitely did not feel like alcohol.
Kin is the perfect bev for, both, socializing and winding down. I keep a few in my fridge at a time in case I need a little pick me up throughout my day. The beautiful packaging and light flavors keep me going back to buy more. My favorite flavor is kin bloom!
Beautiful branding, but didn't notice any change in how I felt when I drank this on a night out with friends.

Flavour is good but I don’t feel any effects. Packaging is also great
I tried two of the flavors at an event
Feedback
I hated the way these tasted and they’re not cheap by any means to be something nonalcoholic. Might as well invested in some club soda and lemon juice.

The yellow sleep bottle tastes like a delicious sleepy time chai. My only qualm is that it's a large bottle, has to go in the fridge once opened, and doesn't last long. It did help me sleep!
Love! Admittedly the branding suckered me in, but these were actually really great to bring to a get-together and enjoy while everyone else was drinking alcohol.

I've tried one beverage from Kin (the pink & green "Bloom" flavor,) and had a fairly good experience. The flavor is rather light, but it's refreshing and vaguely botanical in a nice way. Not too sweet, and does seem to give a subtle mood lift. I like this drink as an alcohol substitute, but it's not necessarily amazing enough for me to crave in periods when I am drinking alcohol.

Loved the flavors of these drinks and the price was good for adaptogenic drinks. I struggled to feel any benefits advertised from this drink though. Still a nice tasting drink to have around my drinking friends!
I tried the Bloom, a lovely refreshing drink that’s a good alternative.
