Hiyo Organic Social Tonic – Classic Pack, 12 Pack - N.A. Functional Seltzer, Sparkling Water Crafted with Organic Adaptogens, Nootropics & Botanicals

My favorite nonalcoholic drink to relax and unwind. Low calorie, refreshing, delicious, and actually does take the edge off. Hard to find these in stock so best option I’ve found for the price is on Amazon!

Great taste.

I really enjoy Hiyo Organic Social Tonic for its crisp, sparkling flavor and lightly fizzy texture. 3 each of the 4 flavors. I’m trying to stay away from alcohol but still want a little euphoric, uplifting feeling, and this fits the bill perfectly. The variety pack is fun, though I would love to try some of the other flavors not included. My only minor gripe is that the watermelon lime flavor isn’t my favorite — a bit too tart for me. The product is on the pricey side, but I usually only have one or two socially. The ingredients are carefully chosen and feel special, making it worth it for me. Overall, I’d recommend it if you want a flavorful, functional sparkling beverage that feels unique and enjoyable.

I think these are some of the best functional drinks that don't have alcohol in them. Every flavor in the variety pack is fresh, slightly sweet, and really good—there's nothing fake or syrupy about them. The adaptogens help you relax without making you sleepy, so it's great for winding down or replacing an evening drink. The cans look great, the flavors are different, and the whole thing has a positive, smooth feel to it. This is a great choice if you want to cut back on drinking but still have fun and feel good.

I was really curious to try Hiyo because of all the claims around relaxation and mood-boosting effects. It’s marketed as a “social tonic” with adaptogens and nootropics that are supposed to help reduce stress, improve mood, and create a light, relaxed feeling called “the float.” The flavors are actually pretty good, light, refreshing, and easy to drink. It’s also a nice option if you’re trying to avoid alcohol. However, I personally didn’t feel any of the effects they advertise. No noticeable relaxation, mood boost, or “float” feeling at all. It basically felt like drinking a flavored sparkling water. Overall, it’s a good-tasting product and a decent alcohol alternative, but if you’re buying it expecting a noticeable effect, you might be disappointed.

Love these drinks. Great for calming down and relaxing with no alcohol. As with any of these kinds of drinks they are pricey.

Starting to switch from alcohol to non-alcohol drinks. I've tried the NA beer and the NA cocktails. I really like hiyo because it is light & enjoyable and doesn't taste like a fake cocktail. I don't really get the "float" they talk about. I've tried shaking it, flipping it, pouring into a glass, etc but I still don't get the affect they talk about. Either way, I still really enjoy these drinks. And at 30 calories, I don't feel bad drinking them.

This product is my absolute favorite "functional" alcohol substitute thus far. Caveats: it will not leave you feeling "buzzed," even if you slam 4 of the cans in an hour or so, but the subtle feeling of calm and relaxation is palpable, pleasant and worthwhile, especially as an athlete who cannot afford the metabolic cost of alcohol consumption. Granted how much I like it, there is BIG room for improvement IMO, and it looks like this. #1. It's expensive. Almost 4 bucks a can, a stick pack version would be welcome at $2/per, as I will easily go through 2 of these a day during the evening while fasting to help offset the sensations of food deprivation, for which this product is very useful. #2. Speaking of fasting, the 30 cals/can is really silly when the sucrose used to sweeten it (it's not even sweet) could be easily replaced by stevia. As it stands, this is how I prepare it -- a can in a shaker bottle with a good dash of stevia. So, the added sugar does nothing good IMO, and should be replaced with stevia, monkfruit, or whatever else. #3. Salt. Adding a dash of salt to this completes it, from both a health and taste perspective, along with the stevia. Salt assists with the utilization of the actives in the CNS tissue, helps to replenish electrolytes (esp. important in active populations), and makes it taste much better. #4. Something could be done to make the relaxing effect stronger without worry of too many unpleasant side effects. I'm not sure what that looks like, whether it would be adding kanna, kava, or something else, but that itself would make this an A+ product. That is all, no doubt I will continue to use, as I feel it helps me to relax, sleep better, focus in the evenings, and be there when food cravings hit during fasts.
