The Love Bomb

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.

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.

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).

The natural flavors in Mojito are derived from extracts of mint, lime, molasses, citrus rinds, and other botanicals.

The natural flavors in Old Fashioned are derived from extracts of orange, all spice, and other botanicals.

The natural flavors in Espresso Martini are derived from extracts of vanilla, chocolate, orange, lavender and other botanicals.

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

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.

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.

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.

Damiana is a wild flowering shrub native to Mexico, Central America, and the American Southwest, long revered for its heart-opening properties. At Little Saints, we use damiana for its natural ability to elevate the spirit and inspire love.
