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.

Ritual 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.

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.

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.

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.
