Paloma

We formulated our cans with the help of both a food scientist with her master’s in adaptogenic herbal medicine and a neuroscientist advisor who weighed in on how certain adaptogens impact our moods and nervous systems. We chose Reishi because it delivers a slight “take-the-edge-off” feeling and has a calming effect on our nervous systems. We also love that Reishi has long been revered as the “longevity mushroom” in Chinese medicine – the original biohacker of the fungi kingdom.

No. We don’t like to use the word “buzz” around here because we tend to associate it with the feeling alcohol provides, and reishi mushroom isn’t a 1:1 swap for alcohol. So while canned beverages won’t give you a buzz, they are formulated to “take the edge off,” so to speak.

Now that tens of thousands of people have tried our cans, we’re confident in just one thing: everyone feels different things! Many people report a slight “take the edge off” feeling, where, after having a can, they notice that they’re in a slightly better mood —more relaxed, less tense. Some people don’t feel anything and drink Little Saints cans simply because they know organic reishi mushroom is good for them.

As much as you want — unless your doctor has told you for some reason to limit your consumption of Reishi (in all cans) or damiana (only in Mojito, Espresso Martini and the now-disco’d Spiced Old Fashioned).

Unlike mushroom coffees, we don’t grind up mushrooms and put them in our drinks. Instead, we use ultrasound to extract the beta Glucans (the part of the mushroom with health effects and no flavor) from the lion’s mane and Reishi, and then we add that extract to our drinks.

Our products contain monkfruit juice concentrate that does not contain erythritol or sugar alcohols.

The natural flavors in Paloma are derived from extracts of grapefruit, lime, citrus rinds, lavender and other botanicals.

Little Saints cocktails are crafted with natural botanical extracts and flavors that may contain trace amounts of alcohol (less than 0.5% ABV), well below regulatory limits for non-alcoholic beverages and similar to apple juice, flavored sparkling water and kombucha.
