This is undrinkable unless you like a mix of vinegar and maple syrup. That is seriously what it tastes like. Until we can do better, I’m drinking the real stuff, I’ll just cut back.

We had hoped that the whiskey alternative we bought would taste a little bit like whiskey based on the explanation of research that was written about the process of developing it. Unfortunately we di... See more

Ritual is a great find
Ritual is a great find! The concept of “enjoy the ritual not the alcohol” is brilliant! I’ve made a pretty decent mid-week Manhattan with the whiskey alternative.
Great idea.
I’m sorry to leave a negative review
I’m sorry to leave a negative review, but the “tequila” was really yucky. Not anything like tequila.
I wanted to like it
I wanted to like it, I really did, but I don’t feel that it’s anything like whiskey. I’ve tried a few of my go to cocktails and to drink it on the rocks and it’s so meh.
I’m going to try the Gin and Tequila versions as well, maybe clear “liquor” will be a better match. I don’t have high hopes.
good product would recommend to anyone

These are an alternative to the actual product but they are not a substitute. They taste nothing like their distilled counterparts. Not even close.
I was looking for something that tastes similar and these did not do it. They went down the drain.
I gave three stars because the customer service is very good and they gave me a refund the same day.
Add cane sugar to base mix.

Excellent taste and so much fun to have a "real" cocktail with no alcohol. Also, delivered quickly. Will order again.
Doesn't taste good.

I've had non-alcoholic beer and there is a strong resemblance to the original, but your spirits unfortunately don't have that effect for me. Sorry!
Excellent Experience!
Your ordering process was seamless and I love the fun & information that your website offers...great job!!! Can't wait for my order to arrive!
Disappointed..
It looks great, and it smells wonderful in the bottle..but the last is very much like Fireball and not like Whisky or Bourbon. So while I can probably fin a mixer for it, I was disappointed in the product.

My package came damaged (I live in Iowa and it was an Arctic tundra that week). They were quick to send out a replacement order and it arrived within a few days! Love love love the variety pack and will definitely be ordering more.
I would rate them as tequila the best…
I would rate them as tequila the best then the gin and finally the whiskey. The drink menus are very helpful I think the margaritas are really good among the best I’ve had. The gin makes a good lemon drop or Mule. The whiskey old fashion is acceptable. All three blends have a peppery bite which makes them unique.
Thank you for trying but ....
Thank you for trying but it didn't work. A gimlet and Manhattan were both undrinkable and had a weird after taste. But once, again thanks for trying and glad to help.
Mocktails for the win!
Love these alcohol alternatives- the gin is surprisingly my favorite! Really enjoy trying out the cocktails in the recipe book provided with the sample pack of all three. Makes me feel like I'm fitting in with the group while having a drink in hand without all the carbs, or the hangover!
Best Non-Alcoholic Margarita - with minimal calories
We mix the Tequila product with Bob's sugar free margarita mix and either Coors Edge or Bud Zero non-alcoholic beer. To add the triple sec flavors we squeeze the juice of half of an orange into the drink. To kick it up a bit, we muddle a few slices of jalapeno and cucumber into the Ritual. This tastes like a high-end margarita and fills our need for that delicious cocktail. This is our new GO TO drink. Fabulous for those who can't drink or don't want to consume alcohol.
Tasted awful
Tasted awful. It didn’t burn. It was spicy. I was expecting something similar to tequila burn but instead got jalapeño spice
Great product
Great product! I bought the trio and was not disappointed. Great for mixing NA cocktails.
