NOTE: As we all are working to remain healthy, we recognize the importance of keeping our immune systems strong while also recognizing ‘adult beverages’ just might not be helping us. When we received this outreach from Alex, it seemed worthy to share with our community as these alternative drinks sound amazing. And while we understand they are promoting their brand Waterloo, the idea/concepts seem easy to adapt. Try one and let us know what you think! – ED
