Functional ingredients are additives that affect the mind or body in a tangible way, such as reducing stress $($adaptogens$)$ or by boosting energy, mood, or focus $($nootropics$),$ and they are $$hot$$ in the beverage industry right now. However, Brandy wants to know more about them to decide whether to include them in a new line of products from The Dry Dock. She has asked you to research functional ingredients in non$-$alcoholic spirits, highlight the key benefits and potential drawbacks, and recommend whether to introduce functional mocktails or not. Your task: $1.$ Find a minimum of five credible, non$-$academic sources published within the past five years to gather information for your report.
