GBWe had hoped that the whiskey… 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 didn't like it at all and threw it out. It was too spicy and burned the back of our throats. Even after using it to make several drinks instead of drinking it straight it was terrible. The idea was good and we really wish we could have liked something about it but it really tasted bad.

GBLove 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

GBRitual Zero is amazing Ritual Zero is amazing! I recently gave up alcohol but still wanted to have the experience of making fancy drinks and host friends over with an 'open bar'. Ritual Zero has conquered me and my friends! My favorite is the Tequila alternative. It smells like the real stuff! The Whiskey alternative smells great and makes an awesome N/A Old Fashioned. Finally the gin alternative is my least favorite but only because I have never enjoyed gin...I wish there was a rum alternative though! I need my AF pirate drink! All flavors have a nice kick to them that really mimics the alcohol burn.

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.

GBAn Excellent Alternative! I was surprised by how well Ritual was able to replicate the notes in tequila/gin/whiskey (especially with zero calories)...I am loving having nightly elixirs without the morning hangover. The tequila is spicy on its own, which might be too strong for some people, but I LOVE it.
