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.

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.

GBLove the idea but unfortunately the… Love the idea but unfortunately the execution was off. I tried the tequila alternative but it was too peppery. Might be good in a bloody Mary or something calling for mezcal. Will not be experimenting with the others as theses bottles are not cheap

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.

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.
