our story

Like a lot of people, I had come to rely on drinking to help unwind at night. But after my 40s, my 3 a.m. insomnia became a regular thing and my health took a nosedive. Cutting back alcohol helped, but I still missed the ritual. So I set out to build the perfect nightcap: as delicious as the real thing, but actually good for my sleep.

FAQ's

Our first nightcap is launching in January 2026 and will begin shipping preorders in December 2025. Sign up to our email list for 20% pre-launch discount.

Alcohol is known to disrupt REM and deep sleep, leaving you less rested. Our non-alcoholic nightcap gives you the ritual you love—while supporting restful sleep with relaxing botanicals, so you wake up refreshed.

Our nightcap contains calming botanicals and nervines that help relax so you can gently ease into restful sleep. It won't knock you out like a sedative—think of it as gentle support for natural sleep, not a sleeping pill.

We use safe, clinically-proven botanicals and nervines including chamomile, valerian root, and lemon balm.

We never use melatonin, CBD, THC, or psychoactive ingredients.

Melatonin is a hormone that signals your body it's time to sleep by regulating your sleep-wake cycle. Unlike melatonin, our nightcap uses calming botanicals to help you relax naturally—no hormones, no grogginess, non-habit forming.

No, we don’t use CBD, THC, or psychedelic mushrooms.

Our nightcaps are made with familiar herbs traditionally used in teas and herbal wellness practices—like chamomile, passionflower, lemon balm, and valerian root. These botanicals are commonly used to support relaxation and are considered safe for most people when used as directed.

Complex and layered—a rich chamomile base with warming spice, subtle bitters, and a smooth finish. Best enjoyed neat or over ice.

Our melatonin-free, alcohol-free blend is formulated with herbs known for promoting relaxation without next-day grogginess. That said, everyone responds differently to botanicals, and some herbs can interact with medications.

If you’re new to Valerian, start with a small serving to see how your body reacts. Always check with your doctor if you’re taking medications, pregnant, or nursing.

Our nightcap is made with non–habit-forming botanicals that are safe for regular or occasional use. If you find yourself relying on it nightly or if sleeplessness lasts more than two weeks, check in with your healthcare provider to rule out underlying causes and discuss a supervised treatment plan.

Our ingredients are natural and non-habit forming, but some herbs can interact with medications (especially SSRIs, MAOIs, or sedatives). Consult your healthcare provider if you're taking medications, have a medical condition, or are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Always check with your doctor before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Many traditional herbs such as valerian may not be advised.

Formulated, manufactured, and packaged in the USA at GMP-certified facilities using globally sourced ingredients. All products are third-party tested for purity, quality, and safety.
