We don’t drink cocktails to count milligrams. We drink to connect. To mark a moment. To sip something beautiful, built with intention.
But when we set out to reimagine what a cocktail could be, we couldn’t ignore the reality: most drinks come at a cost. So we asked ourselves: what if your drink didn’t just taste good, but gave something back?
That’s where the B-vitamins come in.
Why We Add B-Vitamins to Our Cocktails and Spirits
We’re not making smoothies. We’re not here to optimize you. But we do believe in drinks that support how you feel—not just while sipping, but after.
That’s why we add three B-vitamins across both our spirits and our canned cocktails:
- B3: Supports healthy metabolism and nervous system function
- B6: Helps regulate mood and support neurotransmitter production
- B12: Promotes focus, memory, and cognitive clarity
No jitters, no weird aftertaste. Just subtle, supportive function that fits into the experience without overwhelming it. You won’t taste them, but your body will thank you later.
Note: Our Espresso Old Fashioned does have caffeine, because sometimes you need that kick.

What If You’re Also Drinking Alcohol?
Most people aren't going completely alcohol-free—they're drinking smarter. Maybe it's zebra striping (alternating between alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks), maybe it's just cutting back without cutting out the fun.
Here's where it gets interesting.
Research from the Merck Manual, Mayo Clinic, and the NIH shows that alcohol can interfere with the absorption and use of key B-vitamins, increasing the body’s demand for them when you drink.
So when you're mixing Free Spirits into your night, you're not just avoiding some alcohol calories. You're giving your body a little support when it needs it most.
A Functional Cocktail (Without the Lecture)
We didn't add vitamins to virtue-signal or slap "healthy" on our labels. We added them because cocktails should give something back.
We’re here for the flavor. For the ritual. For that feeling when the light hits the glass just right. And for the clarity after. The energy tomorrow. The balance that keeps it all feeling good.
We're not mixing health drinks. We're mixing cocktails with a purpose.
TL;DR:
We put vitamins B12, B6 & B3 in Free Spirits because your cocktail should lift you up, not wear you down. These essential nutrients help fight fatigue, support brain & mood health, and aid recovery, counteracting what life (and alcohol) takes away.
