Alchemy in a Glass. Connection at the Table.
Who we are
Buzzed & Balanced: Tonics & Elixirs is a wellness-forward cocktail bar concept that artfully blends alcohol and non-alcoholic elixirs, tinctures, bitters, and herbaceous infusions. Our menu highlights rare and native botanicals from the Ohio River Valley, with a strong focus on live, potted herbs harvested fresh into every drink—creating an immersive, sensory experience rooted in ritual, balance, and the alchemy of nature.
We offer both buzzed and balanced options—featuring THC, cannabis, or alcohol for elevation, alongside calming or restorative adaptogenic and herbal tonics for grounding. From clarified cocktails to sparkling infusions and sensory syrups, every element is intentionally designed to evoke curiosity, connection, and well-being.
Mckayla, Founder
McKayla is the creative force behind Buzzed & Balanced. With years of mixology experience and formal herbology education gathered from across the U.S., she brings together the worlds of craft cocktails, plant medicine, and sensory design.
Her passion for wellness, health, and a holistic way of living guides every element of Buzzed & Balanced — from the rare botanicals she sources to the way live herbs are harvested fresh into each glass.
For McKayla, bartending is more than service. It’s an alchemy of flavors, traditions, and healing practices that create meaningful moments of connection. Buzzed & Balanced is her vision come to life: a space where buzz and balance coexist beautifully, and where every sip is both celebration and care.
