You got it–our apéritifs are entirely non-alcoholic. Instead, in Golden Hour we use natural adaptogens like maca and lemon balm to soothe your stress and spur creativity for a feel-good night in (or out).

The short answer is that our apéritifs contain very, very trace amounts of naturally occurring caffeine. The amount is so minimal that you’re not going to feel the effects in the same way you would from, say, a morning matcha or an afternoon Americano. Instead, at this small of a caffeine dosage, L-theanine actually has the opposite effect of a cup of coffee; it helps you relax and unwind, while still staying fresh and focused. Basically, it’s not going to make you tired or wired–just a calmer, more mellowed out version of yourself.

That’s because L-theanine is known to enhance cognition, allowing you to both settle and sharpen your mind. And it works well with our other adaptogens like maca, reishi mushroom, and ashwagandha, blending together to give your body and brain the boost they need.
