Little Saints earns mixed reviews: many praise its beautiful packaging and the St. Mezcal’s complex, woodsy–herbal profile that shines in cocktails, while others find flavors weird, overly sweet or chemically, and say it doesn’t taste like real mezcal or deliver noticeable “effects.” Reviews note it works best as a mixer—elevating margaritas, palomas, and spritzes—but weaknesses include inconsistent smokiness, thin body, and polarizing aftertaste; some also report delayed or undelivered orders.

Over priced and weird tasting. Didn’t give a zen feeling, actually the opposite is true… felt ripped off and mad. lol Don’t waste your money.

The Little Saints Paloma offers a delightful and health-conscious alternative to traditional cocktails. Its blend of refreshing flavors and functional ingredients makes it a suitable choice for those seeking a non-alcoholic beverage that doesn't compromise on taste or experience.

I got my hands on this product through Thingdrop, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! It's a fantastic addition to my collection and it makes incredible drinks. I'm excited to explore more recipes and see what else they have to offer. I went for the St. Mezcal one, and it was absolutely amazing! Definitely worth giving it a try!

got the mezcal through thingdrop and wow! I'm impressed, it has a slight woody flavor that comes from the palo santo but very smooth. I'm so excited to make more drinks from it!

I was able to pick up the St. Mezcal on a thingdrop and I am a big fan! Let me start by saying that to me, it tastes nothing like Mezcal. Judging by the name I was expecting a smokey, Mezcal-like flavor but I didn't get any of that which initially disappointed me. BUT once I got over that, I loved the flavor for whatever it was supposed to be. It has an initial bite—think of the bite you get from a strong ginger or peppery drink. It then smooths out to a herbal refreshing finish. You can definitely taste the fennel which gives it a light sweetness but the real star is the palo santo! Such a unique flavor! A lot of products claiming to be "mocktails" end up tasting like glorified juice to me but this actually gives some of the flavors I associate with a more bitter and sophisticated cocktail. I will definitely repurchase this and I look forward to other flavors they might come out with!

🍹🌿 Review: Little Saint Saint Mezcla Margarita 🌿🍹 I recently had the pleasure of trying the Little Saint Saint Mezcal non-alcoholic spirit, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations! The combination of Palo Santo, lions mane, and Santo infusion creates a unique and delightful flavor profile that sets it apart from any other non-alcoholic spirits I've tried. When made into a margarita and served with a salt and Tajin rim, it becomes a refreshing and invigorating drink that is perfect for any occasion. The subtle smokiness from the Palo Santo adds a touch of sophistication, while the Lions Mane brings out a delightful earthy note, making it a true pleasure to sip. I am particularly impressed by how well-balanced the flavors are - not too sweet nor too tangy - just the right mix of herbal goodness and zesty citrus. Plus, the fact that it's non-alcoholic ensures that everyone can enjoy it without any worries. I can confidently say that the Little Saint Saint Paschal Margarita is an absolute hit! I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and refreshing alcohol-free beverage option. Cheers to a drink that brings joy and good vibes in every sip! 🥂🌟

Overall it is super tasty but honestly tastes nothing like Mezcal. I love that Smokey flavor that mezcal brings so I was excited to try this- and it has none of that. It is super yummy tho!! I mixed it with some Lemoncello la croix and it was delicious. Great for when you’re craving a little bev but don’t want to drink. The packaging is also super cute and it looks great on the bar cart. I do recommend but not if you’re looking for a mezcal dupe!

Love the packaging, love the taste, super fun product. I didn’t really feel any different but it was fun to make a mocktail with ☀️

I’ve been super interested in n/a options recently and this is one of the best I’ve tried. This was great for a night in by myself with movies when I felt like getting elevated without alcohol. I really love the flavor of this. Very herbal without being too smoky. I’m not a huge fan of Mezcal but I love the flavor of this. I made a quick spritz with the Little Saints St. Mezcal, Trader Joe’s Sparkling Strawberry lemonade, blood orange juice + muddled lemon basil, blackberries & strawberries (all homegrown!).

My partner is a mezcal lover and we were very excited by the prospect of a non alcoholic version. We tried it over ice, with club soda and lime, and as a margarita. Over ice it had a botanical taste with an almost bubblegum like finish. With like and soda, it became more balanced but still lacked the signature smokiness of mezcal. It wasn’t until we mixed it into a margarita that we really understood this product. It took on a smoky flavor that was well balanced with acidic lime and some sweetness. In cocktails is where this product truly sings! The packaging is gorgeous as well

Super fun NA option with beautiful packaging! I quit drinking about 2.5 years ago, and as happy as I am with Diet Coke, I’m always excited to try a new NA spirit option. I got the St. Mezcal NA spirit through Thingdrop, and I was super stoked when it arrived. The packaging is very nice, and I loved the drink ideas they include on the insert. I made a fun little drink and loved it! The flavor is super unique and interesting, and it was great to sip on with friends. Would definitely buy again. Bonus points for being a Michigan-based company :) Here’s the recipe for my little drink if anyone is curious: 6 raspberries Two slices of jalapeño Juice of one whole lime Tablespoon of honey 1.5 oz of St. Mezcal Sparkling water Muddle raspberries and jalapeño; combine with lime juice, honey, St. Mezcal, and ice in a cocktail shaker; shake her up; pour over ice, top with sparkling water, and serve garnished with a raspberry, jalapeño slice, and lime.

I haven't met a Little Saints flavor I didn't like. I've been an OG fan since they launched a few years ago. The Moscow Mule is so refreshing - it's the perfect way to relax after a long day. I love the Negroni, too.

I was wxcited to order but was Very disappointed with these drinks- nasty taste and aftertaste. Way over priced. All sales are Final. No returns or exchanges.
Tastes amazing & really goes give you a boosted calm feeling!
The paloma flavor is sooooo delish, and I'd love to try others.
An interesting flavor profile that I really enjoyed! It makes for a great mocktail but also is a nice mixer if you wanted to add a little alcohol.

I have mixed feelings about this product, sometimes liking it and sometimes finding it just okay. Recently, I received the St. Mezcal from Thingdrop, and overall, I'm impressed with its packaging and quality. However, I want to point out that the name "mezcal" might be misleading for avid mezcal enthusiasts, as it lacks the distinct smoky flavor commonly found in most mezcals. Instead, the flavor profile leans more towards a minty wood taste with a hint of ginger's burning sensation. Despite this, I genuinely appreciate this product, especially when using it to make mocktails. It stands out as one of the best non-alcoholic beverages I've ever had and would be delightful as an inspiration for a refreshing cucumber spritz drink.

Really cute packaging, and fascinating taste of the St. Mezcal. Lent itself really well as an addition to a simple lemonade recipe I use. Truly elevated it and I can genuinely say I did feel calm after the first few sips.

This stuff is pretty good! My partner doesn’t drink much but loves Mezcal so had to try this out and it does the job. We really like how it’s not super sweet but has nice smoky flavor to it. We wouldn’t drink this on it’s own but it’s fun for mixing into cocktails!
