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!!!!

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.

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!

I ordered the whiskey alternative I ordered the whiskey alternative. The package arrived timely, the packaging was lovely, and there was a booklet of cocktail recipes included. I made some Old Fashioneds for my husband and I and we were pleasantly surprised by the flavor and warmth. My husband was even up for a 2nd round, which he rarely wants with other alcohol alternatives we've tried. Curious to try the other flavors.

Does 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.
