GBShipped fast, works in Coke Shipped fast, zero proof whiskey works well in coke, haven't tried many other mixed drinks yet but was impressed by the simulated Jack and Coke. Doesn't taste much like whiskey on its own, no burn or bite though they seem to have a somewhat spicey finish, maybe from the peppercorn? It's a bit delayed though, drinking it straight or near straight will spoil the illusion. Overall I recommend it, there's not much out there like it.

GBDoes 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.

GBDisappointed Disappointed. I have been contemplating buying this for a couple months as I'm pregnant and really missing margaritas. I got sucked in with a free shipping email and decided to finally try it. I tried several recipes and all of them were undrinkable. I'm very disapointed. The tequila alternative is VERY spicy which I was not expecting. I don't feel like it added anything to the flavor of the other ingredients I added it to except for spice. I definitely won't be trying any of the other flavors. I wish it was available in smaller sizes so I wouldn't be out $26 and stuck with a big bottle of this stuff.

GBMocktails 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!

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.
