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.

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.

GBDelicious! Especially if You are a Fan of Botanical Forward Gins Delicious! Makes it very easy to trade alcohol calories for excellent flavor. I enjoy it with a splash of a good lite tonic. It's a great way to end the evening. If you like gins with a strong botanical profile then you'll enjoy the flavors in this heady, aromatic substitute.

GBAvoid 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!!!!

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.
