Avoid 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!!!!

The 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.

Ordering from Ritual Zero Proof Ordering from Ritual Zero Proof was super easy. I always love free shipping, so that is a plus. Their website is easy to navigate and well organized. The ordered item arrived in a timely manner and in the time frame originally given. I also appreciate that the order was in an appropriate sized package and not sent with unnecessary extra packing or too large of a box (as I like try to create less waste where possible).

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.

Love 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
