Reviews mention

  • Striking, elevated packaging design
  • Complex, herbal flavor profiles

  • Harsh, bitter taste complaints
  • Inconsistent functional effects
  • Overly aggressive carbonation

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've tried a few of these because I'm a sucker for good branding design.

    Feedback

    They're pretty & a good alternative to alch, but I didn't feel anything from them. And the flavor didn't taste as natural as I thought it would. Good but not great!

  • I love drinking Kin when I am aiming for a sober-night out. The packaging is super cute and I always find myself wanting more. Fun flavors and love the brand mission!

    Feedback

    I wish people taking SSRIs could enjoy this as well...

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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!
