Despite being the fastest-growing spirit in the United States, mezcal is the least represented in the non-alcoholic space, and Little Saints is remedying this with its latest release. St. Mezcal is a new non-alcoholic offering that stays true to mezcal’s signature smokiness, and it taps into the aromatic, mood-boosting properties of palo santo. With 100mg of lion's mane per serving, St. Mezcal is said to deliver a "rich and nuanced sensory experience" along with a "pepper-y bite that won't get diluted in your favorite cocktails."
With this launch, Little Saints is setting itself apart as the first spirit producer (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) to use pure palo santo extract.
Packaged in a Mezcal-inspired 750ml glass bottle, St. Mezcal can be consumed neat or used as a non-alcoholic replacement for mocktails and cocktail recipes.
