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.

GBI am extremely disappointed with this… I am extremely disappointed with this product. We got the Whiskey Alternative and it is extremely smokey and spicy; it does not taste remotely like whiskey. It’s more like a bad mixer. Have been trying to get a refund from RZ since the store we bought it from will not refund opened bottles. When I emailed about the problem and it was discovered we bought it at a store and not online, haven’t been able to get a response about a refund for some reason. Hopefully it’s just an oversight, but very unimpressed despite all the “rave reviews”.

GBOrdering from Ritual Zero Proof Ordering from Ritual Zero Proof was super easy. I always love free shipping, so that is a plus. Their website is easy to navigate and well organized. The ordered item arrived in a timely manner and in the time frame originally given. I also appreciate that the order was in an appropriate sized package and not sent with unnecessary extra packing or too large of a box (as I like try to create less waste where possible).

GBThe whiskey alternative is horrendous… The whiskey alternative is horrendous and more so a Scotch alternative than a bourbon alternative. Super smokey on the noise, SWEET, and horrendously spicy for no apparent reason other than to emulate the alcohol burn. The tequila is a slightly better representation but also way too peppery on the finish. I asked my husband if he added jalepeno to my margarita. It's THAT spicy. I'm dreading the gin because gin is my favorite spirit. I just don't think I can stomach it if it's anything like the whiskey.

GBRe*review After giving U a 1 star review I am re-reviewing. My initial taste was stand alone sip but I have since integrated Ritual Zero proof into different mixes. I now change it to 4 star as it supplements the alcohol with a new flavor while cutting down on potency of drinks. Good job!
