I love making drinks that feel special without needing alcohol, and this recipe really nails that vibe. The Three Spirit Social Elixir Mocktail brings a rich, complex flavor with steps you can actually do at home. It draws out these herbal notes that almost feel like a little modern magic in a glass.
When I first tried it, I noticed the deep, bittersweet taste balancing out with these lighter, refreshing elements. It felt crafted for those moments when I wanted something thoughtful but still easy to enjoy.
You’ll get clear instructions on how to make it, the exact ingredients you’ll need, and a quick rundown of the tools that make it all come together. After that, I’ll throw in some tasting notes so you know what you’re getting into before your first sip.
Three Spirit Social Elixir Mocktail Recipe
I like making this drink because it blends the rich flavors of cacao, damiana, and tulsi with something light and refreshing like lemonade. The mix of herbal notes and subtle sweetness creates a balanced mocktail that feels special without being complicated.
Equipment
To make this mocktail, I don’t need a lot of tools, but having the right ones does help the flavors pop. I usually just grab what I already have at home.
Having everything ready makes the process smoother and, honestly, way less stressful.
- Cocktail shaker or a jar with a tight lid
- Strainer for pouring without ice or herbs slipping through
- Measuring jigger or small measuring cup
- Tall glass for serving
- Bar spoon or long spoon for stirring
- Ice cube tray to keep ice fresh and clean
- Citrus juicer if I want fresh lemon juice instead of bottled
These tools let me measure, shake, and serve the drink with ease. Even if I don’t own a shaker, a simple jar works just as well.
Ingredients
The flavors in this drink come from a mix of herbal spirits, fresh juice, and a touch of garnish. I like how the Social Elixir pairs with citrus and mint, giving a smooth but lively taste.
Each ingredient has its own role, so I try not to skip any.
- 50ml Three Spirit Social Elixir
- 100ml lemonade (sparkling or still, depending on my mood)
- 10ml fresh lemon juice
- 2–3 dashes of bitters (optional, for depth)
- Fresh mint sprigs for garnish
- Ice cubes for shaking and serving
Sometimes I swap lemonade for soda water if I want a lighter version. The bitters add complexity, but I only use a little to avoid overpowering the herbs.
Instructions
I follow a few simple steps to bring the flavors together. The shaking helps mix the herbal notes evenly with the citrus and sweetness.
Serving over ice keeps it fresh and crisp.
- Fill a shaker with ice cubes.
- Pour in Three Spirit Social Elixir, lemonade, and lemon juice.
- Add bitters if using.
- Shake well for about 10–15 seconds.
- Strain into a tall glass filled with fresh ice.
- Stir gently with a bar spoon.
- Garnish with a sprig of mint on top.
I always taste before serving and adjust the lemonade if I want it sweeter or lighter.
Notes
I notice the Social Elixir has earthy and slightly bitter tones from cacao and damiana, which balance nicely with the citrus. The tulsi adds a soft herbal edge, making the mocktail feel grounding yet refreshing.
If I want more energy, I sometimes mix in a splash of Three Spirit Livener with the Social Elixir. This adds a brighter kick without changing the base too much.
Fresh mint makes a big difference in aroma, so I always add it last. Using chilled glasses also keeps the drink cool longer, especially on warm days.

Tasting Notes
When I take that first sip, I notice this smooth balance of herbal and fruity flavors. The drink feels light, but there’s still plenty of character packed in.
I taste some dark berries mingling with gentle spices that bring a nice, warm edge. None of the flavors try to steal the show, which lets you enjoy it at your own pace.
The finish lingers with a touch of bitterness—almost like a mild tonic, honestly. That little bit of bite adds depth and stops the drink from tipping into sweetness.
I also catch a subtle earthy note in the background. It grounds the mocktail, so it doesn’t just come across as another typical fruit-based drink.
The texture is soft and a bit velvety, making each sip feel extra smooth. As the ice melts and the drink sits for a few minutes, I notice the flavors open up a bit more.
