Elta Ego cocktails are not just alcohol-free - they contain a unique trio of bioactive adaptogens Maca, L-Theanine & Ginseng.

Due to overly strict regulations, we are not allowed to discuss how these adaptogens make you feel so please google them or read our customer reviews to learn more.

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 contain bioactive adaptogens.

Bioactive adaptogens are natural plant extracts that have been used by traditional communities for thousands of years:

L-THEANINE is an extract from green tea

GINSENG is traditionally revered for its uplifting character

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

Due to overly strict regulations, we are not allowed to discuss the benefits of these adaptogens so please google them or see our customer reviews.

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.

Our cocktails contain Maca, Ginseng & L-Theanine, 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.
