About Three Spirit

Founded in London in 2018 and launched in the US in 2021, B Corp-certified Three Spirit is a plant-based, gluten-free, non-GMO alternative to alcohol that celebrates what goes into a drink, rather than what’s left out or removed. This alchemy is at the heart of everything Three Spirit offers, from the high-grade, ethically sourced ingredients to the plant scientists and bartenders behind the products. Three Spirit maximizes the functional potency of its drinks by extracting active compounds from plants like adaptogens and nootropics. Featuring their original trio of spirit alternatives — Livener, Social, and Nightcap — and a newer Blurred Vines duo of wine alternatives — Spark and Sharp — Three Spirit’s award-winning products are built for every occasion. After all, alcohol-free shouldn’t mean pleasure-free.
