Suds & Sips Vol.1

One of life’s simplest joys is gathering with loved ones to share stories over a thoughtful pairing of food and drinks. At Sudstone, we’ve taken this cherished pastime and infused it into our debut collection, creating an experience that bridges self-care with connection. Introducing The Kindred Collection Drink Menu—a celebration of our first line of soap bars: Turmeric Lemon, Honey & Rice Milk, and Espresso. Each recipe is designed to complement the essence of these bars, offering a sensory journey from a revitalizing morning to a soothing evening escape.

Day: Honey Horchata
Pause, breathe, and find your moment of calm with the Honey Horchata. Sweet, velvety, and indulgent, this drink is your perfect companion for any time of day—whether paired with a flavorful meal or enjoyed as a stand-alone treat. Like our Honey & Rice Milk soap, it soothes and centers the senses, offering a gentle reminder to embrace mindfulness amid a busy day. For the best honey, look no further than HI Honey Farm on O‘ahu’s North Shore.

Night: Espresso Martini
Transform your evening into a luxurious ritual with the Espresso Martini. Bold, energizing, and cheeky, this cocktail sets the tone for an unforgettable night. Just as our Espresso Soap Bar rejuvenates and energizes, this drink celebrates the richness of coffee, turning your pre-night-out routine into a decadent treat. The perfect pairing for whatever adventures await, this duo captures the spirit of indulgence and empowerment.

The Kindred Collection is more than skincare—it’s a shared experience. With every bar and every sip, you’re not just indulging; you’re connecting—to the land, to your senses, and to the ones you love.
