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.

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.

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.

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.

Shipped 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.
