Elta Ego cocktails are designed to provide you with a subtle but noticeable lift in your mood and to help you feel more relaxed.

Depending on your particular body chemistry and whether you have consumed the drinks on an empty stomach or not, you may notice a change in mood and calmness after between 0.5 - 2 cans. Please read our reviews to get more of an idea of how they make people feel.

Our cocktails won't give you an intoxicated feeling as that is not the intention. Instead our cocktails will help give you a calm, content & confident state of mind so you can relax or socialise without alcohol.

Not only will you be consuming much lower calories and sugar than if you drink alcohol (our cocktails are mostly ~30 calories per can), but they also help lift your mood and help you feel more relaxed.

Bioactive adaptogens are natural plant extracts that have been traditionally valued for helping the body adapt to life’s daily stresses. In our drinks, they’re chosen for their long-standing reputation in supporting balance, energy, and wellbeing.

L-THEANINE is a healthy extract from relaxing green tea

GINSENG is traditionally revered for its uplifting character

MACA is a Peruvian superfood, cherished as a symbol of vitality and libido

We only use natural ingredients and we use the healthiest, best tasting natural sweetener in our cocktails - Monk Fruit juice. Monk fruit is a fruit from Asia and is around 200 times sweeter than sugar so we only need to use a small amount which means fewer calories in the cocktail.

We also use fermented glucose, called 'erythritol', in our Mojito and our Raspberry Yuzu G&T which is a low calorie natural sweetener that also helps add body to the cocktail.

By law we need to state 'less than 0.5% alcohol' because most natural products naturally contain trace amounts of alcohol.

For example, orange juice has up to 0.7% alcohol due to natural fermentation and a ripe banana can contain up to 0.5% alcohol.

Our cocktails are around 0.1% alcohol - so they are less than half of the alcohol content of orange juice or ripe bananas.

All ingredients we use are gluten free and we've tested the drinks for gluten in the past which confirmed the batch was gluten free. However we don't claim them to be gluten free due to the regulatory burden.

Because the ginseng adaptogen creates a foam - so you can see it's not just a flavoured drink, it's a functional beverage.

For a quiet night, start with one. For a more sociable evening, consume four.

To best absorb the bioactive adaptogens, consume on an empty stomach in between meals.

Apart from our Espresso Martini, our cocktails don't contain any caffeine. You may feel increased energy from the maca and ginseng, however, the beauty of these adaptogens is they don't affect your sleep like caffeine does.

Yes our Pina Colada and our Negroni are low fizz and our Espresso Martini is still/not carbonated.

The bioactive adaptogens are recognised as safe by the FDA and have been used by traditional communites for thousands of years.
However, as with all natural supplements, please consult your doctor first if you are under 18, breastfeeding, pregnant or may become pregnant, have a medical condition, or you are taking SSRIs.

Elta Ego cocktails are carefully crafted in Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand from all natural ingredients including fresh, local fruits such as Hawkes Bay limes.
