The Adaptogenic Elixir: From Ancient Wisdom to Modern Libation

March 31, 2024

In a world where stress seems to be an inevitable part of our daily lives, the pursuit of balance and well-being has become more critical than ever. Enter adaptogenic herbs, a class of botanical wonders that have been used for centuries in traditional medicine systems to help the body adapt to stressors and maintain optimal function.

The Rise of Adaptogens

Adaptogens are a group of herbs and mushrooms that, as the name suggests, help the body adapt to stress. Whether it's physical, chemical, or biological stress, these herbs have the unique ability to regulate the body's stress response and bring it back to a state of equilibrium.

Ancient healing traditions, particularly those in Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine, have long recognized the power of adaptogens. These herbs were often referred to as "tonics" because of their ability to tonify or invigorate the body.

Exploring the Adaptogenic Arsenal

Known for its calming effects on the nervous system.

3. Maca:

Adaptogenic properties linked to hormonal balance.

4. Muira Puama:

Recognized as a potent aphrodisiac in traditional medicine.
Thought to enhance libido and sexual function.

5. Ashwagandha:

Known for its stress-relieving properties.
Supports overall vitality and longevity.

Traditional Chinese medicine uses it for libido enhancement.
Believed to have testosterone-boosting effects.

Welcome!

Greetings, connoisseurs of fine spirits and seekers of extraordinary experiences. My name is Robert Tushinsky, the founder and president of 2XL Swagger Brands, the proud distillers of PinkKitty and EasyRhino Liqueurs. Whether our products already grace your backbar or you're still contemplating their addition, I extend my heartfelt gratitude for your support and interest.

A Legacy of Innovation and Tradition
The journey of 2XL Swagger Brands is deeply rooted in a family tradition of innovation and a passion for excellence. In 1957, my father, Joseph Tushinsky, introduced Sony to the United States. Growing up, I was mesmerized by my father's creation of a unique vodka drink he affectionately called Fruitka. Each year, during Akio Morita’s visits—the founder of Sony—I witnessed my father bottle his Fruitka in a stunning Lalique crystal decanter, presenting it as a cherished gift to Morita-San. It wasn’t until after my father's passing in 1988 that I discovered the secret ingredient in his Fruitka: adaptogens.

The Rise of Functional Beverages
In today’s world, consumers are increasingly seeking health and well-being benefits in their beverages. While the spirits industry has been slow to embrace this trend, I saw an opportunity to revolutionize it. With PinkKitty and EasyRhino Liqueurs, we aim to offer more than just a drink; we offer a lifestyle that inspires confidence, romance, and pleasure. Our mission is to transform the social drinking experience into something that touches our deepest desires.

Crafting Excellence

Their popularity as one of the top-selling spirits online is a testament to the exceptional quality we strive for.

A Commitment to Conservation
At 2XL Swagger Brands, we are not only passionate about what goes into our bottles but also about the world around us. We care deeply about the environment and the preservation of endangered species like big cats, elephants, and rhinos. To this end, a generous portion of our proceeds is donated to The Black Mambas Anti-Poaching Unit. Founded in 2013, this all-female ranger unit is dedicated to protecting wildlife in South Africa. Their efforts were recognized in 2015 when they received the Champions of the Earth Award from the United Nations Environmental Program. Supporting these brave women in their selfless cause is a profound honor for us, and we invite you to join us in this mission.
