Notes from the sober, the snacky, and the slightly obsessed.

Welcome to the Botanika Blog — where we unpack all the weird, wonderful, and WTF-worthy parts of being a little more intentional about what we sip, snack, and stock. Whether you're sober-curious, just here for the functional fizz, or looking to build a better pantry, you're in the right place.

We cover:

  • Zero-proof wine recs that don’t taste like juice
  • Behind-the-scenes peeks at your favorite indie brands
  • Ingredient deep-dives (adaptogens, nootropics, and other words we can't always pronounce)
  • Product pairings and bundle breakdowns
  • Real talk on sobriety, socializing, and how to host without a stocked bar cart
  • Seasonal gift guides and pantry MVPs

So grab a spritz and settle in — we made this for you.
