What it is
Curious No. 9 is a bottled booze-free cocktail from Curious Elixirs. The product page calls it a "Nonalcoholic Sparkling Rosé Cocktail" and says it's made "with zero alcohol." Curious describes it as a sparkling rosé "with fizzy-lifting lime" that "infuses chardonnay grapes with rose, California poppy and South African kanna." It comes in a 340 mL (11.5 oz) bottle.
It's the Curious bottle with kanna in it, which is why it's in our kanna drinks roundup. The page doesn't list an amount of kanna.
What the label says
From the nutrition and ingredient panel on Curious's product page, checked October 21, 2026:
- Size: 340 mL (11.5 oz) per bottle. The page says "2 cocktails per bottle" in one place and "2.3 Servings per Bottle" in another.
- Nutrition (panel headed "1 Bottle"): 30 calories, 0 g fat, 0 mg sodium, 6 g total carbs, 5 g sugar.
- Ingredients: carbonated filtered water, Chardonnay grape juice concentrate, clarified key lime juice concentrate, aronia juice concentrate, organic rose extract, California poppy extract, fermented echinacea extract, South African kanna extract, white grapeskin extract, pine extract, French oak extract, tartaric acid.
- Alcohol: zero, per the product description.
- Caffeine: none listed. Nothing on the ingredient list is coffee, tea, guarana or another usual caffeine source.
The page also describes what Curious says each botanical does. Those are the brand's claims, and we don't repeat them here.
Taste
We're going by what Curious says, not our own tasting notes. Curious calls it "subtle & sophisticated" and "a sparkling rosé with fizzy-lifting lime," and suggests serving it chilled "in a coupe with a lime wheel." Its FAQ says its elixirs are "less sweet than a soda, sparkling water, or juice." The ingredient list backs up the grape and lime: Chardonnay grape and key lime juice concentrates come right after the water.

Curious No. 9 costs more per container than these cans, but a 340 mL bottle is bigger than a 12 oz or 8 oz can, and Curious counts it as two cocktails. Of the five, No. 9, Innerbloom and BBCo's Pomegranate Fusion list kanna. Innerbloom (10 mg) and Pomegranate Fusion (20 mg kanna isolate) print an amount, and No. 9 doesn't. Prices are from each brand's own site on the dates shown. The Kin and Little Saints label figures come from our Kin Euphorics review and adaptogen drinks guide and weren't re-checked on October 21.
Who it's for
- People who want a bottle to pour, not a can. It's sold as a sparkling rosé for a coupe or wine glass.
- Kanna-curious adults 21+ who've read who should skip kanna below and don't take antidepressants.
- Not for anyone avoiding kanna. If you want a Curious bottle without kanna, Curious No. 1 and No. 3 are the ones we've covered, and they carry their own cautions.
Who should skip it
- Anyone pregnant or breastfeeding. It contains kanna. Curious's own FAQ says to consult your healthcare professional if you're pregnant or nursing.
- Anyone taking antidepressants (SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOIs) or other serotonergic medication. Never combine kanna with them.
- Anyone on sedatives, sleep aids or any other daily medication, unless your doctor says it's OK. Curious's FAQ says to consult your healthcare professional if you take medication or have a health condition.
- Anyone under 21.
- Caffeine: none is listed, so that's not a reason to skip it. Check the bottle in your hand anyway.
Don't drink it with alcohol, and don't drive after drinking it. More in the full kanna list below.
