livener

For those nights when dinner is the prelude to a party, Three Spirit Livener, a tongue-tinglingly spicy watermelon and pomegranate spirit, will let you shake off that four course food coma; the ginseng, guayusa, and natural caffeine combo packs quite a punch.

Three Spirit's The Social Elixir, with vitamin C and an assortment of low dose B vitamins, offers a less intense energy boost than Livener.

Not as good as a quick livener, perhaps, but it’s early days.

You do not want to mix the two or eat them in the same mouthful, but you can dip into the salad periodically for a livener.

Or at least a version of it: his is one in which teenage miscreants "skin up a fat one, hide from the feds", but feel overwhelming tenderness toward loved ones – "Don't beat yourself up/ Your best is good enough," counsels Note to Self, a garage-rock livener that pops up halfway through.
