FAQ's

What is a Non-Alcoholic Cocktail?

With a curious and proprietary blend of 100mg organic reishi mushroom and botanical terpenes (i.e. aromatics), our ready-to-drink plant magic mocktails deliver the flavors and mood-boosting sensations of traditional cocktails, without alcohol or sugar.  Tastes great on ice, chilled in a coup glass, or straight from the can at the beach. 

What is a Non-Alcoholic Spirit? 

For the creators, mixers and slow sippers, our non-alcoholic spirits contain 100 mg organic lion’s mane mushroom and a unique blend of plant extracts for bold and complex flavors that won’t be diluted in your favorite cocktails. Sip neat, on ice or in a cocktail for a non-intoxicating brain buzz that will heighten creativity and deepen conversations.  

How do I drink Little Saints? 

The possibilities are endless! We think our canned NA cocktails taste best poured into a glass on ice, or served cold from the fridge. St. Ember tastes great simply over ice, and if you want to get fancy, check out our recipe page here. 

How will the non-alcoholic cocktails make me feel?

Our non-alcoholic cocktails are boosted with 100mg organic Reishi mushroom per serving. Reishi mushroom is a non-intoxicating, non-psychoactive mushroom that has been used in a variety of Eastern medicine practices for millenia. We added it to provide a “take the edge off” feeling. Many of our customers report feeling “just happier in general” after drinking a can, especially after a stressful day. The feeling is subtle but effective. 

How will St. Ember make me feel?

St. Ember, Little Saints’ first and only non-alcoholic spirit, is boosted with 100mg organic lion’s mane mushroom per serving. Lion’s mane mushroom is is a non-intoxicating, non-psychoactive mushroom that is well known for its cognitive benefits. We added it to provide that “I’m so smart and interesting and I’m the best conversationalist” sort of feeling (the same feeling that our founder used to think that Mezcal gave her after a few sips, just way way more effective). Many of our customers report feeling “super engaged”, “really present” and even “giddy” after drinking a serving of St. Ember. 

Will the mushrooms in your drinks make me high?

Absolutely not! Little Saints mushrooms are 100% legal – not at all intoxicating or psychoactive. According to our neuroscience advisor Dr. Josh Kaplan, unlike alcohol, functional mushrooms do not impair judgment, reaction time, or coordination. You can safely drive after consuming the levels of reishi and lion’s mane mushroom found in Little Saints beverages. 

We use two kinds of mushroom extracts in our drinks: reishi and lion’s mane, both sourced from a USDA organic certified supplier with FDA “GRAS” (“generally regarded as safe”) designation granted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Reishi and lions’ mane mushrooms were originally used in Eastern medicine practices for immunity, cognition, focus and longevity. Today, millions of people take reishi and lion’s mane as health supplements. Since drinking is a lot more fun than taking pills, we decided to put the supplements directly into Little Saints non-alcoholic beverages. 

What makes your mushrooms so special? 

We love how fanatical some people are about their mushrooms, because so are we. And one thing that mushroom fanatics LOVE to comment on our social media is “100mg of Reishi or Lion’s Mane per serving is nothing”. In our case, this is not true. Yes, if you, for example, take a raw lion’s mane mushroom and fry it up in a pan, 100mg is not going to do much for you. This is because a raw mushroom contains about 0.1% beta glucans, which is the potent, functional part of a mushroom (and a type of soluble fiber). Our mushroom extracts, on the other hand, have a 70% beta glucan concentration. Our mushroom supplier extracts the beta glucan from the fruiting bodies and the mycelium of the mushrooms with advanced ultrasound technology. They supply us with certificates of authenticity for every batch, demonstrating the 70% beta glucan potency. What does this mean? This means that our mushrooms are something like 700% more potent than a ground up mushroom that you could buy on your own. 

Is it safe to mix Little Saints with alcohol? 

We encourage consuming Little Saints in lieu of booze to enhance sociability without the negative side effects. Having said that, we’re not rule makers around here, so do whatever you want in the comfort of your own home. 

Is there a limit on how many Little Saints I can drink in a day? 

To our knowledge, and based on the research presented to us by our ingredient suppliers, there are no limits here to the number of Little Saints you can consume in a day. The amount of fluid you can consume is your only limitation. 

Are Little Saints safe for children? 

Always ask your doctor before allowing your child to consume a beverage with ingredients that he or she has not tried before. 

Can I drink Little Saints while pregnant or nursing? 

Always ask your doctor before consuming a beverage containing ingredients that are either new to you or that you have not ingested since becoming pregnant or beginning to nurse.
