Curious Elixirs brings a unique twist to the cocktail scene by offering a selection of alcohol-free drinks that are crafted to mimic the flavor profiles of traditional cocktails. Founded nearly a decade ago in Brooklyn, NY, the brand has risen in popularity as the "sober curious" movement gained traction. Each offering is a blend of organic juices, herbs, spices, and botanicals, with a focus on health, as every drink is infused with adaptogens—natural substances that are believed to promote relaxation and wellness.

The line-up includes nine distinct cocktails, each numbered for convenience. Notable selections include No. 2, a Spicy Pineapple Ginger Margarita that combines smoky and fruity flavors with a hint of chili. No. 5 offers a Smoked Chocolate Cherry Old Fashioned, pairing rich oak notes with dark cherry and chocolate. For a more adventurous palate, No. 8—the Black and Blue Amaro—presents a berry-forward drink enriched with medicinal mushrooms like lion’s mane, reishi, and chaga.

Recently, they expanded their repertoire with Curious Zero, a Lion’s Mane Lager that features earthy roasted barley combined with citrus and refreshing fruity notes.

These drinks, priced between $8-$10 for an 11.5-ounce bottle that contains two servings, are perfect for anyone looking to enjoy a sophisticated beverage minus the alcohol. They can be found at several retailers including Dray Drinks in Boston and Cambridge, as well as Volante Farms in Needham and Vinnin Liquors in Swampscott.
