Love the idea but unfortunately the… Love the idea but unfortunately the execution was off. I tried the tequila alternative but it was too peppery. Might be good in a bloody Mary or something calling for mezcal. Will not be experimenting with the others as theses bottles are not cheap

Presentation 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.

The 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.

I tried the whiskey I tried the whiskey, but the hot peppers kill the taste for me, way too much influence from those--I added some sweet vermouth and that did not work either. I will try the Tequila and the Gin, and one more try with the whiskey, but I don't like the taste so far--I am trying to cut back on my alcohol, but this does not appear to be the answer.

Avoid the Aperitif, enjoy the Rum Enjoyed the Ritual Zero Proof Rum, Whisky and Gin alternatives -- but the Aperitif Alternative tasted slightly worse than the cherry cough syrup I remember from my youth. The same chemically bitter taste attempting to hide behind a sickly sweet fluid. Afraid this one really doesn't work. The rum is best, the gin good in G&Ts, the whisky tasty as long as you don't think of it as whisky. Avoid the Aperitif!!!!
