Re*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!

We 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.

Best Non-Alcoholic Margarita - with minimal calories We mix the Tequila product with Bob's sugar free margarita mix and either Coors Edge or Bud Zero non-alcoholic beer. To add the triple sec flavors we squeeze the juice of half of an orange into the drink. To kick it up a bit, we muddle a few slices of jalapeno and cucumber into the Ritual. This tastes like a high-end margarita and fills our need for that delicious cocktail. This is our new GO TO drink. Fabulous for those who can't drink or don't want to consume alcohol.

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.

An 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.
