A gin and tonic built on Nkd's alcohol-free gin: juniper, coriander and gentian up front, then citrus and elderflower, with cinchona bringing the bitter edge a tonic needs. Botanical, dry and only lightly sweetened, it pours crisp and sparkling from an 8.4 fl oz can.
What's inside:
- Kanna (Sceletium tortuosum, Zembrin), 25 mg per can: a South African botanical traditionally used for mood. Nakies doses it low for a subtle, sociable ease.
- L-theanine: the calming compound found in tea.
- Marine magnesium citrate, plus electrolytes and trace minerals.
Key ingredients: Sparkling water, organic blue agave, natural flavors, natural elderflower essence, natural lime extract, natural grapefruit extract, citric acid, Sceletium tortuosum (Zembrin), L-theanine, marine magnesium citrate, stevia leaf extract (Reb-M).
Good to know: 0.0% alcohol. 20 calories and 4 g sugar per can. Vegan, gluten-free, keto, nut-free and preservative-free. Contains grapefruit extract. Made in Louisville, Kentucky. Sold to adults 18+. Kanna acts on serotonin, so check with your doctor first if you take antidepressants or other medications.
How to enjoy: Ice cold, poured over ice with a lime wedge. Good before dinner or anywhere a G&T fits.
Swizzle's Take: We reach for this one when a G&T sounds right: botanical, dry and only lightly sweet.
