What we Reach for Matters
I started Still/Spark after a quiet shift in my own life. I had been reevaluating my relationship with alcohol—not because I had all the answers, but because I wanted better questions.
What did it mean to feel good?
To be up for it without being out of it?
To unwind without checking out?
I didn’t want to lose the ritual. Or the vibe. Or the pleasure. I just didn’t want to feel foggy, drained, or disconnected anymore.
Still/Spark began as an experiment: What if a drink could change your state… with presence instead of absence? What if botanicals, juice, design, and intentional mood-building could replace the “off-switch” with something more nuanced—something more you?
Each blend is made to spark a feeling. Stillness, connection, creative flow, or subtle lift. Crafted with herbs, adaptogens, and real ingredients, these are drinks for people who want to feel more—not less.
This isn’t a wellness brand.
It’s not a mocktail.
It’s not a substitute for anything.
It’s a new kind of beverage experience.
You don’t have to explain why you’re not drinking.
You don’t have to give anything up.
You just have to reach for something real.
