Sentia, the science-led functional drinks brand reimagining social drinking, is launching Sentia Ease - a new range of three ready-to-drink Social Spritzes powered by GABA Labs’ pioneering neurobotanical blends from 1st October 2026.
Bringing the functionality behind the world’s first GABA-enhancing alcohol-free spirit into a convenient ready-to-drink sparkling format, Sentia Ease is designed to go wherever you do: from dinners, brunches, festivals and picnics to pre-drinks, parties, nights out and nights in: any moments where you want to feel relaxed, sociable and present, without alcohol.
Unlike conventional alcohol-free alternatives, Sentia is developed around GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), one of the brain’s principal neurotransmitters and part of the neural system associated with relaxation and social ease.
GABA is the same neurotransmitter system of social ease that alcohol interacts with to produce that “first drink feeling,” before it interferes with wider brain chemistry. Professor David Nutt and the scientists at GABA Labs have spent years researching plant-derived compounds that naturally enhance the GABA system, without alcohol.
Sentia Ease brings the science and insights from Sentia’s GABA Spirits into a new unique proprietary blend of neurobotanicals, in three ready-to-drink sparkling flavours. Unlike previous Sentia offerings, each Sentia Ease variant is classified as a food, allowing consumers to drink as many as they want.
- Mango & Passion Fruit: A bright, tropical spritz combining juicy mango with aromatic passion fruit for a fruity, refreshing finish.
- Raspberry & Lime: Ripe raspberry balanced with zesty lime, creating a crisp, refreshing berry spritz.
- Lime & Ginger: Fresh lime meets warming ginger in a sharper, grown-up serve with a gentle spicy finish.
All three are 0%ABV and designed for drinking straight from the can, making Sentia’s functional approach to drinking as simple as reaching for a beer, cider, or canned cocktail.
Jerome Pellaud, Managing Director of Sentia, commented, “Sentia Ease takes the science and functionality at the heart of Sentia and puts it into the simplest format possible. Social drinking is often spontaneous, whether you’re at a festival, heading to a party or meeting friends after work, so we wanted to create something people could simply chill, open and enjoy.
"Most alcohol-free drinks focus on recreating the taste of alcohol. We’re more interested in why people drink in the first place, and whether we can offer that feeling of social connection they are looking for without the alcohol.”
Professor David Nutt, CSO and Co-Founder of Sentia, commented, “People often drink alcohol because it can make social interaction feel easier. Alcohol works through several systems in the brain, including GABA, but it also brings significant negative effects. Our research at GABA Labs has focused on botanical compounds that can interact with the brain’s natural GABA pathways without alcohol.
"Sentia Ease makes that science accessible in a format designed for everyday social occasions.”
Sentia Ease marks the next step in the brand’s mission to move alcohol-free drinking beyond imitation and towards function: creating drinks designed around relaxation, connection and how people actually want to feel when they socialise.
