Three Spirits

Three Spirit is a functional non-alcoholic drinks range created by bartenders, winemakers and plant scientists.

We make botanical alcoholic alternatives designed not to mimic but pay homage to wines and spirits while embracing novel flavours and ingredients.

We are on a mission to show the world alcohol-free doesn’t mean pleasurefree. After years spent in libraries, labs, bars and fields, we’ve created plant-based alternatives to alcohol that celebrate what you put into a drink, rather than what you take out. Crafted by a mix of plant scientists, world-class bartenders, winemakers, hedonists, herbalists and artists, each of our award-winning elixirs offers a unique sensory experience.

Botanical Alchemy is at the heart of everything we do; from the plants we combine in our drinks, to the blending of minds and different expertise of the people who make them. Using adaptogenic plants and nootropics, each elixir offers a third way between drinking and not drinking; combining ingredients for flavour and function, and extracting active compounds from the highest grade, ethically sourced plants used for centuries in remedies and ceremonies to stimulate the palate, mind and body. Energise, connect, unwind... choose your mood.

Their Story

Founded in London in 2018 by a blend of plant scientists, world-class bartenders, hedonists, herbalists and artists, Three Spirit create plant-based alternatives to alcohol that celebrate what goes into a drink rather than what is taken out. Extracting active compounds from the highest grade, ethically sourced plants, they combine ingredients for flavour and function to create a ‘Third Way’ of drinking and socialising that stimulates the palate, mind and body.

Welcome to The Third Way

People drink for flavour and feeling... not just one or the other. The social aspect of coming together for a drink is a fundamental human necessity, but its bond to alcohol is not. We use adaptogenic plants and nootropics in our drinks to offer a third way between drinking and not drinking, so you can Choose your Mood.

Recyclable & 99% plastic free

About our drinks

We design drinks for moods and moments, and believe alcohol free doesn’t have to mean pleasure free. We like to break rules and create new rituals. We are pushing the boundaries of what defines a non-alc liquid, experimenting with ingredients and extraction methods to harness the full potency of plants and create drinks with function, flavour, texture and mouthfeel.

My top 5 hits on repeat

What I am listening to!

Ariana Grande - “We Can’t Be Friends” - The High Ponytailed One/ Galinda the Good comes at us with the second single of her seventh studio album, and this one is giving me real Robyn vibes.

Teddy Swims - “Lose Control” - His voice in this song is a masterclass on how to deliver a gravelsounding vocal rollercoaster. The lower key ranges to the vocal climbs are something else!

Spring has finally sprung, and the days are getting lighter and longer…. More time for listening to the biggest new releases and trending classics. Let’s get stuck in:

Album Releases I’ve been lucky enough to preview ahead of their release:

Maggie Rogers - Don’t Forget Me - 12th April Maggie Rogers’ eagerly-awaited album is a captivating tribute to self-reflection and emotional depth. The album, which is released under Capitol Records, is a testament to Rogers’ growth as a multitalented artist. The lead single, “Don’t Forget Me,” was released on April 8th and embodies her signature blend of vulnerability and artistry, immersing listeners in a world of authentic storytelling.

Produced in collaboration with Ian Fitchuk at Electric Lady Studios in New York City, “Don’t Forget Me” takes listeners on a soul-stirring journey through Rogers’ personal experiences and collective stories. The album’s introspective tracks, such as “The Kill” and “So Sick of Dreaming,” are a testament to Rogers’ evolution as a songwriter and performer who can connect with audiences on a deep level.

Sabrina Carpenter“Feather” - She has come a long way from opening for The Vamps. She has found her sound, this tune is a pure summer tune!

David Guetta ft. One Republic - “I Don’t Wanna Wait” - Let’s be honest, David Guetta could make “Baa Baa Black Sheep” sound like a dance anthem. This track features a sample from Ozone’s 2003 hit “Dragostea Din Tei” but with the lyrics in English.

Empire of the Sun

- “Changes” - The Australian electronic duo’s latest offering has a summer beach bar with a cold beer/ice cream in hand sound to it. I predict plenty of festival season coverage for this one.

With a mixture of heartfelt ballads and poignant melodies, Rogers invites listeners on a nostalgic road trip through the complexities and joys of life. As she explores themes of love, loss, and self-discovery, Maggie’s authenticity shines through in each song, leaving a lasting impression of warmth and sincerity. “Don’t Forget Me” promises to be a timeless addition to her already acclaimed discography and a testament to her unwavering commitment to musical storytelling at its best.

Ben Platt’s latest single, “Andrew,” sets the tone for his much-anticipated third album called “Honeymind.” The song showcases his evolution as an artist who is not afraid to delve deep into vulnerable themes of love and introspection across the album’s 13 tracks. The song’s raw emotion, intricate lyrics, and haunting vocals reflect a sense of tenderness and authenticity that has come to resonate with his listeners. “Andrew” was produced by Dave Cobb and Alex Hope. The accompanying music video, directed by Sam Wrench, amplifies the song’s minimalist beauty further.

The forthcoming album is a deeply romantic journey rooted in personal experiences and reflections on love and finding one’s true self. “Honeymind” signifies a new chapter in Platt’s illustrious career. He is known for
