Made with Real Plant Botanicals
Functional You Can
ActuallyFeel
Kanna and kava drinks made to be noticed. Enough to change the moment, never so much that you stop being yourself.
Kanna
A South African botanical people have reached for generations to brighten the mood.
Kava
A South Pacific root long enjoyed to help the body relax and the day unwind.
L-Theanine
An amino acid naturally found in tea that helps keep the experience balanced and easygoing.
TWO VERY DIFFERENT REASONS TO REACH FOR A CAN.
UPLIFT SPRITZ
GOOD MOOD.
NO OCCASION REQUIRED.
Most mood drinks are subtle. Uplift Spritz is made to be noticed.
A kanna-forward botanical blend crafted to brighten your mood, make conversation easier, and help ordinary moments feel a little more enjoyable. Not a high. Just a genuinely better state to be in.
UNWIND SODA
WHERE THE DAY UNWINDS.
Some relaxation drinks barely register. Unwind soda helps you feel the transition from busy to easy.
Bold blackberry and bright citrus with a kava-forward botanical blend that settles the edges of the day while keeping you present for whatever comes next.
WHY THEY FEEL DIFFERENT
Most functional beverages sprinkle in trendy ingredients and hope for the best.
We formulate with ingredients and doses chosen to create a noticeable experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
The functional beverage aisle is full of products with ingredient lists that look impressive but leave you wondering if anything happened. Upstate Elevator’s Uplift Spritz and Unwind Soda are purposefully dosed with kanna, kava, and L-theanine to create a noticeable experience you can actually feel. Enough to change the moment. Never so much that you stop being yourself. A real alternative to alcohol and THC for the moments when you want to feel different without feeling intoxicated.
-
Kanna brightens, kava calms. Kanna is a South African botanical people reach for to lift the mood and ease into conversation. Kava is a South Pacific root people reach for to slow down and relax. Same promise, no alcohol and no THC, just two different directions.
-
Together, they cover more ground than either one alone. Kava takes the edge off, kanna keeps the mood up, and you end up calm without going flat, bright without getting wound up. That's why both show up in every can, with L-theanine to keep it all smooth.
-
Whenever the day is ready to let up. Unwind Soda is perfect for the end of day transition: after work, before dinner, or any evening you want to slow down without reaching for wine.
-
Whenever the day could use a little spark. Uplift Spritz is made for daytime: long afternoons, errands, walks, backyard hangs, or any ordinary moment that could stand to feel a bit brighter.
-
Most people notice something within 15 to 30 minutes. It builds gradually rather than hitting all at once, so give it a little time before reaching for a second can.
