Herb nerds unite! Apothékary is a like-minded brand bringing the magic of natural ingredients (like roots and herbs) into the mainstream – so you can imagine we get along well! 

We’re teaming up with Apothékary for their Fall Inside Scoop box, which features treats to aid in digestion and gut health – including Curious No. 1 and their new Never Been Bitter™ aperitif-inspired tincture.

The OG Curious Elixir, No. 1 is inspired by the classic Negroni, with strong notes of pomegranate and rhodiola to lift you up. The Negroni is a cocktail that has stood the test of time — it’s been around for over a century. Ours is smooth yet complex, fruity but not sweet. It's a beautifully balanced, bitter delight!
