This is undrinkable unless you like a mix of vinegar and maple syrup. That is seriously what it tastes like. Until we can do better, I’m drinking the real stuff, I’ll just cut back.

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 t... See more
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... See more
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 di... See more

Love everything about Ritual Zero Proof…
Love everything about Ritual Zero Proof from taste to bottling to delivery and recipes. I don’t drink because alcohol disagrees with me. Ritual brings easy, festive, tasty and alcohol-free celebrations back into my life! Favorite is Whiskey Alternative but they are all good!

Great product—particularly the tequila
Great product—particularly the tequila. Love that all of these are not sweet and syrupy but are complex and versatile! Have bought all three products a number of times!

Best whiskey replacement
This is the best whiskey replacement I've tried on the market. Makes and excellent virgin whiskey sour and a great low ABV Manhattan. Try it! You won't regret it.

Great company to work with
I haven’t tried all of the sampler pack but so far it’s great. I had a mishap with shipping (broken bottles), and it the customer service was outstanding. Shipped another set right away. Thank you! Grateful for the zero proof beverages, and the attention to detail!

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.

Too smoky for manhattans
So far I have only tried the whiskey. I was expecting it to be more like bourbon or rye, but found it far too smoky for manhattans. IMO, it should be labeled as a scotch substitute and you should try again for the bourbon/rye type of whiskey.

No tequila
I don’t enjoy the flavor. It tastes more peppery than smokey and has very little semblance to tequila in my opinion

It is nice to have a NA drink that is non-fattening.

Amazing customer service
Amazing customer service.
I would recommend getting their sample set as the taste of the 3 different alternatives Whisky - Tequila - Gin are very different. So you can find your favorite.
My personal favorite is the Whisky one.

Got for my pregnant wife, she loves it. Has a legit smell and taste. She loves that she can mocktail with other and not feel completely left out
