GBI am so impressed with the Ritual… I am so impressed with the Ritual tequila! I am pregnant and was looking to enjoy some mocktails while socializing with people who are drinking. Every other product I tried was gross and filled with sugar. Ritual has zero calories and truthfully tastes like tequila. I made watermelon margaritas and everyone liked my mocktails more than their own real cocktails. Buy some! You won't be disappointed!

GBDisappointed Disappointed. I have been contemplating buying this for a couple months as I'm pregnant and really missing margaritas. I got sucked in with a free shipping email and decided to finally try it. I tried several recipes and all of them were undrinkable. I'm very disapointed. The tequila alternative is VERY spicy which I was not expecting. I don't feel like it added anything to the flavor of the other ingredients I added it to except for spice. I definitely won't be trying any of the other flavors. I wish it was available in smaller sizes so I wouldn't be out $26 and stuck with a big bottle of this stuff.

GBDoes not taste like gin Does not taste like gin. I've had a lot of gins over the years, keeping 3-4 of my favorites in my liquor cabinet and regularly trying new brands and styles. I typically have a G&T and/or gin cocktail most evenings Spring through Fall, and consider myself familiar with the range. To me this 'gin alternative' has a taste of toothpaste and jalapeno. After trying Ritual's 'gin alternative' three different ways, I cannot think of an occasion where I would want a gin and would chose Ritual's 'gin alternative'. I've gifted the rest of my bottle to a friend who likes a challenge -- we'll see what they can make of it.

GBPresentation and bottle are a 5 Presentation and bottle are a 5. Very appealing to the eye and looks luxurious. The first sip with nothing else added was very strong like alcohol; had a bite to it- spicy. I need to try a real recipe with it to see if it changes the flavor. I know it's not real alcohol and there's no affects when drinking it so that's always a bummer. But for a mock-cocktail its a great alternative. I only say a 4 because the flavor wasn't my favorite.

GBDelicious! Especially if You are a Fan of Botanical Forward Gins Delicious! Makes it very easy to trade alcohol calories for excellent flavor. I enjoy it with a splash of a good lite tonic. It's a great way to end the evening. If you like gins with a strong botanical profile then you'll enjoy the flavors in this heady, aromatic substitute.
