In the Mood: Non-Alcoholic Cocktails With Adaptogens & Nootropics
Sure, non-alcoholic drinks are better for your health and well-being. You also avoid the negative effects of alcohol, such as dehydration, hangover, weight gain, liver damage, and impaired judgment.

Think of it as the body becoming ‘adapted’ to stressors and working at its peak stability. Here are some examples of healthy non-alcoholic cocktails with adaptogens that can be uplifting or calming depending on what you think is best for your valentine.
