I had a baby recently and went through a prolonged dry period. I didn’t miss alcohol per se, but I did find that I missed the ritual of enjoying the complexity of a nice glass of wine, or having an elegant cocktail as a way to unwind after work, or when connecting with friends. I wanted the relaxation, fun, and sophistication of a drink, without the alcohol.
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.
However you like, really! Our apéritifs are made to sip straight from a glass. We prefer them chilled with a bit of garnish–take a page out of our Cocktail Recipes for some ideas.
Your glass, your rules. That said, in order to feel the full effects of our adaptogens, we recommend enjoying three 5oz pours.
Our apéritifs were designed to be fun for everyone. That said, check with your doctor if you have any questions or concerns about drinking De Soi.
Our apéritifs are shelf-stable prior to opening. Once popped, a bottle will stay bubbly for about a week. If you don’t finish it in one go, keep it chilled in the fridge after opening.
It is my favorite go to when I want to relax after work.
the smell when you pour- roses
the color when you raise your glass
the bubbles
I do dilute with sparkling water as it's too strong a flavor for me, neat
It doesn't remind me of an alcoholic drink either aperitif or wine spritzer sadly
I love love love the Purple Lune. I wasn't sure after the first few cans but I do love the flavor and it is my favorite way to unwind now. I bought it originally because my husband and I decided to do dry January after realizing we had been drinking too much since the start of Covid. It tastes like nothing I've ever had which is why it was love at 4th taste but I absolutely love it and have one or two at night instead of wine. Definitely try it and give it a chance.
At first taste, I thought I might just chalk this whole thing up to experience and not try again. Just a very different, complex taste that I truly can't compare to anything else.
Yet I tried again. Put the next sample over ice and that made all the difference. I enjoyed it and enjoyed the feeling of mellow! Slept like a baby that night - which is unusual.
Now I'm awaiting my full compliment of all three so I can give the others a double first try. ;)
I didn't like wine or beer the first time I tried them, either, by the way.
Great wine replacement
