I love these so much! I always feel so self-indulgent when I'm curled up reading a romantasy. Now, it feels like self-care. I tried the Elixir of Serenity yesterday evening and slept so well that I'm having one tonight. ❤️
M
I have absolutely loved all of the flavors and have combined a few to make something unique. I will say Inner Light with gin and tonic water 👌👌👌

The packaging is beautiful. I love the way it sparkles. There's so many different ways I want to try mixing it. And the subtle flavor makes it easy to mix with just about everything
K
Fun experience for making beautiful mocktails. Mostly tasty(though the pink lemonade is a bit salty). Best of all, no erythritol! I will probably puchase more.

I love mixing these and swirling them almost as much as drinking them. I'd been looking for an alternate to drinking too much soda and I've also found i really enjoy romantasy books since trying my first few less than a year ago. I found my own mixing style for these and bought bottles just to mix them in. The flavors are light and pleasant. I usually mix 16 ounces of water for a packet on Elixir of Hydration and 18 ounces to two packets of Elixir of Serenity or Elixir of Inner Light or one of each of those. The swirls in it are perfect for letting my mind wander just enough to not distract away from a book and keep me from wandering off. Sometimes I just swirl, stare, and sip without anything else in mind.
I will be keeping my subscription up to date!

Absolutely loved my Trope-ical Vacation Kit! It’s definitely more of a stay-cation kit for me (it’s my knitting bag) but it’s absolutely perfect! I love everything they’re doing at VH-partnering with authors, fun (SUPER cute) merch- it’s really exciting!

Slow Burn
This is the perfect summer book girlie moment! I also bought one for my bestie too because I loved it to much. I especially loved the customized postcard from one of my favorite characters from terror at the gates!

So far, I have tried all three with just water and like the Elixir of Light the best. The Elixir of Serenity is a bit bland, and the taste of the magnesium in the Elixir of Hydration is a bit strong. I'm looking forward to experimenting with blends.

This is the tastiest electrolyte supplement I have ever tried, and it helps with my needs for higher sodium.

I tried out the Elixir of Inner Light and it was pretty good! The taste was very light so if you want a stronger taste definitely use less liquid (o used 8 ounces of water). The color and shimmer was super pretty and definitely a beautiful aesthetic

I got the elixir of hydration, it’s perfect for warm summer days. Light, refreshing and beautiful in the sunlight! I can’t wait to bring them to ren faire!

I wasn't sure about the Serenity potion but gave it a go. I LOVE IT!! It tastes wonderful and the act of stirring your potion, watching the sparkling swirls is a part of the calming effect for me. I find that it dissolves quickly and easily in water. I originally tried it in Sprite and found that I needed to slowly stir and add it in very slowly to get it to dissolve. I think the carbonation inhibits the dissolving process some. I really do like the taste best in Sprite but also like it water. Pretty sure it would be amazing in anything. I drink Serenity at night and make a ritual of it. Focusing on the stirring and swirling and glittering gorgeousness. It helps to ground me in the now and allows my mind to relax, helping me get a better night's sleep. If you're on the fence, give it a try.

Im loving my new elixir from Velvet Hammer! Made "fairy wine" to go along with my latest fantasy read and it brought me such joy to drink this magical potion!

Amazing product! It’s had me hydrating more consistently and has add whimsy to my life! The colors and the sparkles are beautiful, it gives such an ethereal vibe!

This has become my favorite way to boost my hydration! It's beautiful, whimsical, and makes my heart happy 😊 It is delicious on its own with water, but lately, my potion of choice has been Peach Seltzer plus this elixir to transform it into a peach lemonade 🙌 so glad this company exists!

Alright, I waited two-ish weeks to write this review and it might be long. To preface, these are my personal opinions and my own experience. (For some context, I am a disabled veteran and have medical inconveniences that directly effect sleep and cognitive function.)
The package is beautiful. I love everything about the packaging. I am never throwing them away and will use them for little trinkets because I think they're great.
Regarding the product, I will start out with the Elixir of Hydration. I liked the taste, it is very visually appealing, but I don't believe I will be repurchasing because I do prefer other options here. However, I do appreciate I was able to mix the packets if I felt I need an extra boost for hydration. All in all, a solid 7/10. (This one was also my friend's personal favorite and she has taken them all.)
The Elixir of Inner Light, I liked the taste more then the Elixir of Hydration and I found it very pleasing to put this is a flute and drink it during the day. I would say I did feel as if the level I was functioning at was improved, even by a little. Can absolutely confirm that my mood was boosted over consistent use for a score of 9/10 there.
My favorite is the Elixir of Serenity, which I will be re-purchasing as soon as I'm able. While I didn't really notice anything during the first couple of days that I was taking this, I did feel as if I had slept better and that the time it took me to fall asleep was shorter than usual- which is absolutely phenomenal and very relieving. Taste wise, this Elixir is my favorite and I will be giving it a solid 10/10.
I do consider going for the Trilogy a worthwhile purchase as I appreciate having all the types to try out side by side and that I can mix them into each other. All in all, a very pleasant experience.

Very pretty, sweet but not too cloying. Very fun and perfect for a cozy night reading ACOTAR or TOG!
Before you pour.
What makes the elixirs shimmer?
The shimmer comes from Mica— a 100% food-grade mineral. It’s a natural ingredient and will just pass through your system, similar to an edible glitter you’d find in a fancy cocktail. We spent months formulating our elixirs with the highest-quality ingredients available. All of them are non-GMO and made with natural flavors and ingredients.
How much sugar is in an elixir?
0 grams of sugar, no artificial sweeteners
What do they actually taste like?
The Elixir of Inner Light is a hint of blood orange flavor that pairs well with other citrus notes.
Can I mix these in something besides water?
We love that idea. Our formulas dissolve easily in any beverage—even one with bubbles. Feel free to get creative, and make sure you tag us in your favorite recipes and potion-making experiments.
Are they safe to drink everyday?
Yes! All our ingredients are dietary supplement grade and safe for daily use. The functional ingredients (vitamins, adaptogens, electrolytes) are at safe, effective doses. As with any supplement, consult your doctor if you're pregnant, nursing, or on medication.
