RITUAL ZERO PROOF Gin Alternative | Award-Winning Non-Alcoholic Spirit | 25.4 Fl Oz (750ml) | Zero Calories | Sustainably Made in USA | Make Delicious Alcohol Free Cocktails

I have no idea what the other reviews are talking about. The taste is exquisite. Gin is generally my first choice/go-to spirit, and while this gin ALTERNATIVE does not taste exactly like gin (BECAUSE ITS NOT), it does have a wonderfully pleasant taste on its own. I generally mix mine with some fresh lime juice, agave syrup, and a splash of sparkling soda. It makes a FANTASTIC mocktail. I will never go back to any other nonalcoholic brand. This is my honest review, i have not been paid or given anything in exchange for this review. I purchased this (and every other spirit by ritual) out of my own pocket. Give it a try! It won’t disappoint

I enjoy gin for its complexity and variety. I love a good juniper-forward gin. I like my gin neat, in a dry martini, and I prefer a gin Rickey to a G&T, because I don’t want the sugar to overpower my gin. In an effort to cut down on my alcohol consumption, I explored zero proof “gin alternatives”. Most of them I did not like, and I’m sorry to say that Ritual is the one I liked least.I was a bit put off by the cloudiness and viscosity. And while I appreciate the juniper-forwardness of it, I found the pepper-as-alcohol-standin to be too clever by half. I like pepper, but I didn’t enjoy it here. I’m working my way through the bottle (nice think-glass bottle, btw) because I don’t want to east but the only way I ca stand this is with tonic and lots of lime. Lots and lots of lime.Honestly there is only one gin-alternative that I like, and I really like it. I won’t name it here, but I think what that one got right, and Ritual and the others get wrong, is that it doesn’t try to taste like gin. Only gin tastes like gin. The one that I like is gin-like in that it is a botanical distillate, only without alcohol. No hot-pepper burn, no pine or juniper, just a lot of flavor and complexity, and is perfect with club soda and a hint of lime, or even straight up with a twist and a dash of bitters.Different people like different things, so maybe you will like this. But I have to say that in trying to be too much like gin, Ritual makes a strange and not terribly enjoyable gloopy goo.

Real talk, I get it, I admit it, I like booze. I'm an adult. After work, I like to make a drink, watch some YouTube on my big screen TV and unwind. Perhaps I'll run errands and wait until Friday, have some vodka & tonics and go to bed early. Who knows?While shopping for sandwiches at Sprouts Market, I saw a "mocktail" and said "hey, I'll try these!". However.. the action of filling a cup with ice, some vodka or gin and topping it with tonic water and sometimes a wedge of lime; that was what was missing.I like Tanqueray, so what? Well, THIS, THIIIIIS....this product, the Ritual Gin Alternative 0 Proof has STRONG scent and taste similar to the green bottled stuff. Now, I DO mix this a little stronger , so if Tanq is like 25% and 75% Tonic Water, I tend to mix a little heavier here, like 40% Ritual and the rest Tonic. After a few of these, my mind thinks I did the bad thing of drinking real alcohol because I got up and made a drink. I'm naturally tired because I didn't drink real alcohol. At an event recently, I had several drinks, I had 2 real gin & tonics and then 3 Ritual Gin and tonics.

I zest limes into ice cube trays and fill with bottled lime juice. After cubes are frozen, I put 2-3 cubes in a cocktail glass, add Ritual Gin and diet tonic water to taste. Very refreshing in front of the fireplace (10 degrees outside) but can’t wait for summer on the patio!!

I purchased this to have an alternative to alcohol in my G & T. It's OK, but too pricey to buy again. Give me the real thing in moderation.

I truly love what this company is doing by making zero-proof spirits, providing an alternative to alcohol. To be fair, I've tried the Ritual Rum which I'd give 4/5 stars. It mimics the smell, look, and taste of dark rum very nicely. Their tequila I'd give 3/4 stars, as it has a little "bite", looks and smells like tequila, but it is a little more watery. I bought the rum and tequila from different sources so I didn't review these two on Amazon.Now, the gin. This was the product I looked forward to most, since it's featured first on Ritual's website as award winning. Unfortunately, it fell far short in look, smell, and especially taste. Other reviews are correct in saying it has an odd taste which to me, doesn't taste like gin at all. I do not recommend the gin product at all.IMPORTANT TO KNOW: When buying directly from Ritual, they have a satisfaction guarantee on their website. I recommend buying directly through them. When you buy via Amazon, AMAZON WILL NOT LET YOU RETURN THE PRODUCT. This is not listed anywhere on the product description or ordering page. When I tried to return the gin, I fell into an infinite loop and could only resolve my issue via a chatbot. Refund is still pending.

I decided to do dry January so I got this. I tasted it by itself and it tasted terrible. It's ok in a mixed drink but I don't think it tasted like gin and tonic. I haven't tried any of their other products but I wouldn't advisebuying this one.
