Karmacuticals create botanical tinctures with nootropics + adaptogens, designed to subtly shift focus, energy + mood. Choose from:

Sharp Wits: clear, dialled focus without the spike
Turbo Tonic: a smooth, steady lift
Social Fluency: soft, open, easy socials

Pair with one of our house sodas:
rhubarb lemonade
rooibos tea

A healthier alternative for when you’re off the booze but still want something going on.
