Cocktail culture, reimagined: Step inside the science of Prime IV Hydration & Wellness in Geneva

At Prime IV, cocktails come in the form of IV drips — customized blends of hydration, vitamins, and minerals designed to replenish your body from the inside out.

When you hear the word cocktail, you might picture a rooftop lounge, ice clinking in a crystal glass, and a splash of something citrusy. But at Prime IV Hydration & Wellness in Geneva, it means something entirely different—something designed to deliver glow over garnish.

“I opened Prime IV Geneva because, as a Type 1 diabetic, I was tired of landing in the ER from dehydration and vitamin deficiencies,” says owner Lindsay Christensen. “I wanted more control—and I figured I wasn’t the only one. Most people don’t realize they’re low on nutrients; they just know they’re tired, can’t sleep, or feel off. At Prime IV, you don’t need to come in with the answers. Just sit down with one of our amazing RNs, and we’ll help you figure it out.”

At Prime IV, cocktails come in the form of IV drips—customized blends of hydration, vitamins, and minerals designed to replenish your body from the inside out. Part of a growing trend in wellness lounges, Prime IV replaces sugary energy drinks and forgotten supplement routines with targeted treatments that deliver nutrients directly into your bloodstream for quick, powerful results.

The process—nicknamed “cocktailing”—blends the art of mixology with clinical expertise. After a brief consultation with a licensed nurse or provider, clients are matched with infusions tailored to their needs. From the Anti-Aging drip packed with glutathione and Vitamin C to the Immunity Cocktail loaded with zinc, B12, and antioxidants, each formula is crafted to help your body bounce back.

The experience feels more spa than clinic. Clients relax in private suites, reclining in plush chairs under soft blankets while their chosen cocktail flows. The vibe is calming and indulgent, but the science is serious. IV therapy has long been used in hospitals to treat dehydration, support recovery, and boost immune function. Prime IV simply elevates that standard—adding comfort, customization, and a splash of luxury.

And yes, there’s fun to be had. The drip menu reads like a high-end bar lineup—The Glow, The Executive, The Myers’ Cocktail—but without the alcohol and with a much better morning after. Their hangover recovery blend, a customer favorite, includes electrolytes, B-complex vitamins, and anti-nausea medication for fast-acting relief.

Clients range from athletes and entrepreneurs to busy parents and frequent travelers. Some drop in weekly, others come before big events or long-haul flights. But they all leave with one thing in common: feeling noticeably better.

So, the next time someone offers you a cocktail, consider one with side effects like brighter skin, boosted energy, and a stronger immune system. At Prime IV Geneva, cocktail culture gets a modern, wellness-forward twist—one revitalizing drip at a time.
