The Spirits Bundle

I recently tried the Little Saints non-alcoholic spirits bundle, featuring their St. Juniper (gin replica) and St. Ember (tequila replica), and I’m genuinely impressed by the creativity and flavor these bottles bring to the table. As someone exploring alcohol alternatives, I was curious how these mushroom-infused, zero-proof options would stack up—and they didn’t disappoint.

Starting with St. Juniper, the gin-inspired spirit, I was greeted by a bright, herbaceous aroma that instantly reminded me of a classic gin. The blend of juniper, cucumber, birch, and yuzu creates a crisp, woodsy-citrus profile that’s both refreshing and complex. I mixed it with tonic water and a squeeze of lime (2 oz St. Juniper, 1 oz lime juice, 3 oz tonic), and it was hands-down the best non-alcoholic “G&T” I’ve had in a while. The addition of lion’s mane mushroom and damiana promises a mood-lifting effect, and while I can’t say I felt a dramatic buzz, there was a subtle, playful lightness to the experience that made it enjoyable.

Next up was St. Ember, the tequila-inspired spirit, and this one really surprised me. The smoky, woody notes from palo santo, paired with a spicy kick of ginger and peppers, gave it a bold, mezcal-like character. I tried it in a simple margarita mocktail (2 oz St. Ember, 1 oz lime juice, a splash of agave, and club soda over ice), and the depth of flavor held its own—no alcohol needed. With only 5 calories per serving and no sugar, it’s a guilt-free indulgence that still…

I have been drinking this for 3 months now and so I feel it's time write a review.

1.It tastes good! It's a great tequila alternative. I use it in Margaritas, with Club Soda and fresh squeezed lime, or mix it in water with my electrolytes.

2.Only 5 calories!!! I can drink this every day, 2-3x a day if I want and has little to no impact on my calories

3.Helped me break the daily cycle of drinking. I still have a drink occasionally, but I save it for the experience (Ex: I went to a wine tasting with my wife. I had alot of wine that night) This allowed me to still have a "drink" several times a week and save alcohol for 1-2x per month

4.I feel good the next day! It is absolutely wonderful to be able to have some drinks and the next day wake feeling rested and energized.

5.Great for people who are high strung/stressed out. I own multiple businesses and so the stress that I carry is VERY HIGH! This calms me at the end of every day. I can have 1-2 servings, chill out and relax, but still be fine to drive or do whatever I need to do with my family without worry of intoxication or being impaired.

As a result of all this, as part of a diet/exercise program, I have been able to successfully drop 15lbs and 7% body fat over the past 12 weeks. It also allowed me to feel confident in my skin and clothes again. This is important to me as one of my businesses involves public speaking, and I need to be able to own the stage to deliver my message confidently.

Thank you…
