The Wu-wei-zi Paloma: a Refreshing Adaptogen Cocktail


Comprised of tequila, grapefruit, and lime the Paloma cocktail is a refreshing classic. This rendition shakes things up with the addition of sage and schisandra berry extract (aka Wu-wei-zi). The wu-wei-zi berry is within a class of plants known as adaptogens, which help your body defend against stressors. After living through the year of 2020, we all could use a little boost. Cheers to 2021!
