We're Not Drinking Tonight

What are the chances that a community totally centered around not drinking can actually be fun? Is it possible that a community centered around not drinking can actually be a vibe? Today, the ladies try Kin Euphorics, a brand that calls itself "a non-alcoholic experience designed to transform the world's oldest social ritual, drinking, into an act of concious connection." Inspired by magic and science, Kin has a tight knit community and a beverage for every time of day, and it's the reason Bella Hadid gave up drinking. It's also the only brand we've tried so far that has an astrological sign. But does any of that make it drinkable? And do you actually feel euphoric? Or is it all hype. Listen along as the ladies rate the experience from start to finish. Along the way they talk cutting alcohol for your workouts, nootropics vs. adaptogens, digital brand integration, and whether taste or smell is more important in an alcohol alternative.

In this episode, the ladies taste and review Ritual Zero Proof Spirit Alternatives.  Ritual Zero Proof calls itself "The True Replacement Liquor", but can a zero proof tequila, gin, or cognac ever really replace the real thing? Listen in as the ladies give their unfiltered opinions on everything Ritual, from the first taste to the last sip to find out whether it truly is a true replacement. Along the way they discuss day parties and the optimism that comes along with drunk shopping, and what happens when you ask for non-alcoholic beverages at the liquor store. They also get into some of the current regulatory challenges around CBD and Nootropics that can create a barrier to accessing alternative spirits online or even in person. 

Drink along with the ladies as they try Seedlip, The World's 1st Distilled Non-Alcoholic Spirit, for the first time. If you're thinking about not drinking, you've probably heard of Seedlip. Its stunning bottles and premium look make it stand out on any bar counter. It is arguably the most famous no alcohol spirit, having famously sold out its first 1000 bottles in three weeks and being one of the only beverages of its kind to be sold in high-end cocktail bars around the world.  But how does it taste? Listen as the ladies give their unfiltered opinions on Seedlip, from the ordering process to the first sip. Listen as they rate their drinking experience, and along the way they talk Four Loko (remember that?), functional beverages, drinking on the job, and more. Are you drinking along with us?

So, what do you drink when you're not drinking? Meet Ciara and Shantel, two friends and former party girls who are on a journey to answer that very question as they taste and review the latest and greatest no-alcohol, low-alcohol, cannabis, CBD, nootropics, and functional beverages out there. In this foundational episode, we discuss how we met, our different drinking styles, and how the first episode of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City inspired us not to drink tonight.You're probably wondering why we, two socially inclined ladies who both admittedly still drink alcohol (with no plans to stop), trying to answer this question?  Because sometimes, we  just want to sip socially without the spirits, simple as that. And we suspect we aren't alone. From workout regimens to pregnancy to just wanting to have a clearheaded morning, there are tons of reasons not  to drink, at least sometimes. These days, we're are more likely to be having wine with a great steak or bellinis at brunch than to be doing shots at the club, so why not find they best ways to relax that aren't 20% ABV? Join us for the journey and drink along!
