Three Spirit Livener is a non-alcoholic botanical elixir with juicy watermelon, guava and tart berry flavors, followed by peppery herbs and a warming ginger heat. Schisandra, guayusa and ginseng give it its distinctive botanical character, and guayusa brings caffeine to the mix. Bright, spicy and a little wild, Livener is made for a drink with plenty of character.
Why We Love It
Livener has a way of making a glass feel like an occasion. We love the first hit of juicy fruit, but it is the ginger and peppery finish that make us want another sip. It is particularly good for someone who likes a bold, lively drink and wants more to work with than fruit and bubbles. A bottle also goes a long way: pour it with tonic on an ordinary afternoon, then give it a little more attention when friends come over.
How to Drink Three Spirit Livener
Pour Livener over ice and top with tonic or grapefruit soda. Add a slice of grapefruit, and you have a bright, spicy drink in about thirty seconds. Its fruit and ginger also give you plenty to play with in a Margarita-style cocktail.
Cheeky & Dry Signature Serve — The Lively Margarita: Combine 2 oz Three Spirit Livener, ¾ oz fresh lime juice, ¼ oz Giffard Triple Sec Syrup and ¼ oz fresh grapefruit juice. Shake with ice, strain over fresh ice in a glass with a half rim of salt, and garnish with a grapefruit wedge. The citrus gives Livener’s juicy fruit and ginger heat a sharper edge.
Pair it with: Fish tacos, chile-lime shrimp, salty tortilla chips or grilled pineapple. Livener is especially good alongside salty, spicy and citrusy food.
