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.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
I love how the High Rhode can be used for many mocktail recipes. The benefits of this product outweigh the reasons to drink alcohol
I was looking for a beverage that I could swap in occasionally for a happy hour cocktail or glass of wine. I read quite a lot of reviews about Kin and their use of adaptogens and nootropics. It sounded interesting and they had an appealing website so I purchased a bottle of High Rhode which is the drink that is supposed to be slightly calming but also good for socializing. I tried it over ice with some seltzer and I enjoyed the flavor. Personally, I did not feel any of the effects they said you might feel like feeling more talkative or charming or craving connection.
Feedback
They claim you might feel something from the adaptogens and nootropics but I did not feel any different, so this might not work on all people. I feel it is a bit pricy based on the number of servings in a bottle.
Delicious drink and very appealing packaging.
Feedback
Delicious and refreshing
beautiful yet confusing packaging. what flavor is this? obviously it didn't matter because i was pulled in by the yellow and orange ombre and bought it anyways. kin spritz ended up being delightfully bitter (slightly bordering on too sweet but not fully tipping into that category). not sure if this was placebo effect but i felt marginally more relaxed after ingesting. potentially would purchase again but nothing was that outstanding!
Feedback
put the flavor on the can? seems like table stakes these days but i guess not?
They taste ok but really helped to clear my skin.
Herbal and light, I enjoyed both Kin Spritz and Lightwave offerings. The latter was a bit more refreshing in taste but I'm unsure if I felt any of the effects.
I wouldn’t say these are an alternative to alcohol but a different type of beverage altogether.
Feedback
The taste is earthy and could take time to get used to depending on your palate.
Honestly these are some of the worst tasting drinks I have ever tried. Leaves a bitter taste in my mouth and upset stomach for an hour after only a few drinks.
A fun concept but the taste is really bitter.

I've been following Kin Euphoric's story for a long time and I've been so happy to see them grow. With many of my friends going sober, Kin is a great alternative for them and really for anyone who wants to have a great time without alcohol. Definitely recommend for good vibes all around!
The taste was ok but not what I was expecting. I love their mission and do love this product, taste aside.
Feedback
could be less expensive
Super expensive and bitter. Not horrible tasting, but not great either, and in my opinion, not worth the money. Very sparkling--that was unexpected. Cute packaging.
Feedback
The flavors, carbonation and most of all, the price.
Don't think it tastes that good but love the mission
Feedback
The flavors are kind of weird. Every one seems to have some weird lingering taste or undertone flavor. Maybe would be better if fizzy.
Tastes good & the design is super cute, but I didn't feel any of the advertised effects. I also wouldn't recommend having it to "chill out" due to the caffeine content.
Bought this in the pandemic to try and stop drinking… but was super disappointed when I found out it has a ton of caffeine in it, hence the “euphoric” feeling.
Feedback
This shouldn’t be marketed as an alternative to alcohol which people normally drink at night. Instead I would make a campaign around starting your day with Kin or drinking one in the afternoon when you need a pick me up.
Tried both flavors and I think they tasted pretty solid but I’m unsure what the drink is categorized as. I would drink it as a pick-me-up every once in awhile.
Feedback
After-taste kinda threw me off but if there was a more concise purpose behind the drink I’d be more open to it.
I enjoy the Kin Spritz, it tastes like an old fashioned in a way with orange peel and bitters flavor profile and I like that it also provides caffeine and a one two punch of nootropics and adaptogens. It's a sub for coffee on certain days for me when I want something that won't be too aggressive for my day.

I love the mission to make fun beverages that are alcohol free and even promote mental health! Kin Bloom is very delicious and refreshing--reminiscent of a rose, minus the alcohol! I think it even helped me focus on packing for a big move when I was feeling discouraged and drowsy!

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!
