Garlic Cocktail is Uprising Seed Co.'s pairing of GMO with Symbiotic's Mimosa, passed around the West Coast and Michigan as clone-only cuts, and it smells like the collision the name promises.
Did you try it?
“Sour orange first, then cut garlic and a licorice sweetness.”
The first thing out of the jar is sour, tangy orange, then the savoury side arrives: cut garlic and onion, a licorice-anise sweetness, and a faint industrial fuel underneath. On the palate the orange takes over, bright enough to read as fresh juice, and the garlic comes back only afterwards, lingering once the mouth dries.
The effect lands quickly as a happy, talkative lift with room for ideas, then the peak ends and the body gets lazy and heavy, often heading for a nap. That turn is the catch: people who take the fruit for a daytime signal find the second hour much sleepier than the first, and the savoury nose divides a room.
It suits funk drinkers who like their citrus with an umami edge.

Density varies with the grower and conditions — treat this as a tendency, not a guarantee.
Aroma
Flavour
Sensory data is a curated, hand-mapped seed; detail completeness is high. Identity confidence is medium. The diagram is this strain's own sensory radar, not a photo. Batch quality still depends on grower, freshness and storage — none of which is captured here.
Garlic Cocktail is typically described with aromas of citrus, herbal, spicy and gassy and flavours of citrus, sweet, herbal and spicy. Aroma and flavour vary with grower, batch and freshness.
Garlic Cocktail is commonly associated with effects such as happy, uplifted, creative and relaxed. Effects are subjective and depend on dose, setting and the individual — this is sensory guidance, not a guarantee.
Garlic Cocktail is classified as hybrid in the SŌMA catalog. These labels are a loose shorthand rather than a precise prediction of effect; the plant's full chemistry and how it was grown matter more.
By sensory profile, the closest strains in the SŌMA catalog include Don Lemon, Brain Wash and Clockwork Orange. SŌMA matches on aroma, flavour and effect rather than name alone.
