Zero Sugar, All Buzz: From Shark Tank to Your Glass with Megan Klein
Manage episode 475061819 series 3257309
Step into a world where mushrooms transform your drinking experience—without the alcohol. Megan Klein, founder and CEO of Little Saints, takes us on a fascinating journey through her line of non-alcoholic, mushroom-powered cocktails that deliver mood enhancement and cognitive benefits with zero sugar and only five calories.
From her mint green vending trailer origins in Detroit to facing the Sharks on national television, Megan shares the remarkable story behind Little Saints' creation and her gutsy decision to turn down unfavorable investment offers. With the conviction to maintain her vision, she's built a brand that's changing how we think about functional beverages.
The tasting experience reveals something truly special—these aren't your typical mocktails. The Negroni Spritz offers a perfect bitterness without overwhelming, while the Old Fashioned delivers caramel notes and warmth that mimics traditional spirits. The St. Ember, infused with sacred Palo Santo wood from South America, provides a mezcal-like complexity that even discerning palates might mistake for the real thing.
What makes these drinks truly revolutionary is their foundation in functional mushrooms—reishi for gentle relaxation and lion's mane for cognitive enhancement—extracted through cutting-edge technology to deliver maximum benefits. The recent addition of Damiana, a natural aphrodisiac, playfully supports the brand's cheeky tagline: "mushrooms make sex better."
Whether you're sober-curious, health-conscious, or simply looking for innovative alternatives to alcohol, Little Saints offers a sophisticated drinking experience without compromise. Find them at littlesaints.com and discover what functional fungi can do for your next happy hour.
