Our story

Hi there! Kat here, the founder of KMW Beverage. Evening Elixirs was born in my kitchen, inspired by a personal quest for a healthier social drink that blends bold flavors with hydration. Like many, I struggled with constant dehydration, which was only made worse after enjoying an adult beverage. I wondered: why wasn't there a proactive hydration option that fit seamlessly into social occasions? Water felt uninspiring, and the myriad of fizzy options left me bloated—none of them offering the boost of electrolytes and nutrients that could help me feel more balanced during a night out. Most morning-after recovery hacks relied on products meant for kids or athletes, and none provided the elevated flavors I craved while socializing. After pouring a bright orange electrolyte drink into a wine glass at a party, hoping it would pass as an aperitif, I knew there had to be a better option.

This realization led me to experiment with fresh produce and vitamins. My fridge quickly filled with mason jars, and I regularly enlisted friends and family to test my concoctions. When they began asking for my drinks and mixing in their favorite spirits, I realized I wasn’t the only one searching for a versatile option like this. We’d found a drink that fit seamlessly into social occasions—helping us stay more hydrated in the moment and the next day. One that could be enjoyed on its own for a break from alcohol or dialed up with a splash of booze. But the process of chopping, muddling, and infusing was tedious. I craved a ready-to-drink option that retained all the flavor and benefits of my homemade elixirs. When I couldn’t find what I was looking for on shelves, I knew it was time to create it myself.

During my first pregnancy, I faced another challenge. Before sharing my news, I struggled to keep my secret in social settings where my drink choices raised suspicions. While non-alcoholic alternatives were becoming more popular, many weren’t discreet enough to avoid questions, or contained trendy ingredients like adaptogens or nootropics—not confirmed to be pregnancy-safe. I craved a drink that safely provided the electrolytes and vitamins I needed, without sacrificing flavor, and without the loud labels of "mocktails" or "non-alcoholic." I simply wanted to blend in.

I realized discreet, agnostic packaging was what I was missing. I wanted a premium drink option that would resonate whether you were enjoying it on its own or mixing it into a cocktail. With Evening Elixirs, I hope to offer a functional, flavorful, and flexible option that elevates your evenings—no matter your life stage or drinking preferences.
