The Functional Sip covers the drinks people are pouring instead of alcohol: kava, kanna, botanical elixirs, adaptogen sodas and zero-proof spirits. We write buyer's guides, compare the brands people ask about, and tell you which can we would buy first.
How we make money
When you buy through a link on this site, we may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. Most of our links go to Botanical Brewing Co., our featured brand. Links to other brands usually go to Amazon, where we earn a smaller commission as an Amazon Associate.
Our connection to Botanical Brewing Co.
We want to be upfront about this. The people behind The Functional Sip work in the kava industry, including at a company affiliated with Botanical Brewing Co. That's part of why we know these drinks well, and it's also why we tell you about it. Botanical Brewing is our top pick in most of our guides; we think it earns that spot, and you should weigh our recommendations knowing the connection exists.
What we won't do
We don't publish fake reviews or invented testimonials. We don't claim these drinks treat or cure anything. And when another brand is a better fit for something, a powder for travel, say, or a zero-proof spirit for cocktails, we say so.
