Aplós reviews and discussion

In a world of functional NA beverages, Aplós is the rare standout. Arise and Calme are both fantastic surrogates for an evening cocktail, I like to mix them with soda water and lemon or lime. The canned cocktails are great, too. Ume Spritz is by far my favorite and seems to pack the most traditional Aplós flavor. Chili Margarita is alright. The Mandora Negroni didn't do it for me, but to each their own. I will see I don't feel any "buzz" when drinking these-- I just like them as an alternative to a alcoholic drink I probably don't need right before bed.

Decent lighter side NA aperitif. Not the best but not the worst. Best with sparkling water and a twist.

Aplos is the absolute best of the dozens of alcohol alternatives J have tried. I love the lemony, herby taste with its slight bitterness. I drink it on ice with sparkling mineral water , a squeeze and a slice of lime and a sprig of rosemary or a mint leaf, or add some lavender or hibiscus Kombucha. Good depth and definitely feel the calming effect.

It’s a horrible product. The taste is not appealing, the effects are close to none. I bought 2 bottles to experiment. I allowed my friends to taste the beverage & none of them expressed any effects as advertised

I appreciate the great flavor, convenience, & low sugar, healthy ingredients of Aplos' two canned drinks! Aplos canned drinks are expensive but very tasty! My fav is Aplos Ume Spritzer for an after work relaxing drink that tastes like a cocktail without the harmful effects. I enjoy the flavor of the Aplos Chili Margarita very much but feel little effect/no buzz. Just by avoiding my previous 2 to 5 glasses of wine or mixed drink per week - I've lost 8 pounds in two months.

The taste profile is so unique and their branding is everything

definitely has a unique flavor profile, I've tried it with carbonated drink but it needs a little more to enjoy sipping on. I recommend using their recipe tab on the website, it has helped me create better cocktails vs just carbonated soda.

Aplos is one of my favorite non-alcholic beverages. It's really strong and bitter tasting, which I like a lot. I like drinking and serving it stand alone as an alternative to mezcal or whisky over a sphere of ice and rosemary stem. The only con is once you open it you should drink it in the first few days. It has a horrible shelf life and noticeably goes bad after a week.

I absolutely love the branding and website, but the product is extremely overpriced and tastes like medicine.

I am obsessed! Definitely felt the calming effects. Love the ingredients! I love the website which offers recipes (alcoholic and non), and the look of the liquid is cool! It's a bit cloudy which I think is fun!

i'm always looking for ways to mimic the feeling of a cocktail, but i'm drinking less alcohol these days, and aplós really meets the moment. i got to try it when they first launched and i can't wait to try it again and give it a permanent home on my bar cart as the weather's getting warmer.

I purchased Aplos as an alcohol alternative and was unimpressed. -Flavor was ok but did not feel affects -Was expensive for what it was -Tried a few times but didn’t end up finishing

I've been trying to drink less because it's just not making me feel that great anymore. Aplos has been amazing. I've tried lots of the non-alc spirits and they are all trying to be something else. I love that Aplos has its own flavor - medicinal, floral and delicious.

I really wanted to love this product! I love the company, its team, and its mission, but the product just wasn't for me. I tested the original drink and was excited to try something that gave you the sensory experience of drinking while remaining NA. However, the flavor profile hit me way wrong. It tasted soapy, and I couldn't mix it with anything that got rid of the flavor (and the flavor of this drink is somewhat the whole point of buying it!). I'm open to trying more of their drinks as they come out, but I've stayed away since the first one was such a bomb for me.

During dry January, my husband and I tried MANY different alcohol alternatives. We landed on Aplos Calme Tonic as our daily "go to" evening cocktail. Our favorite cocktail is to mix it with diet tonic water over ice. In our cocktails we us 1.5 oz per drink, two drinks each per day. So price is very similar to, or less than what we were paying for our daily wine consumption. Aside from a special event or dinner out, we have nearly eliminated alcohol from our diets. We've even lost weight and feel great!

Honestly the best non-alcoholic spirit out there and I’ve tested them all!

I wanted to test this product out as a non-alcohol drinker. The idea is great - there aren't too many mocktails marketed out there besides a lemonade or a soda that you can find at your local restaurant or house gathering. However, I can't say I felt "calm" after drinking this. I mixed it with a low sugar carbonated water on the rocks to give it a cocktail effect in a fancy glass. The drink is herby for sure, however, I can't say it was better or worse than just having the carbonated water alone.

it's astonishing how bad Aplos is. it does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WHATSOEVER. like not even placebo. and it tastes wretched. godDAMN i don't know if this could be worse if they were trying!

This product is the absolute worst! The drink tastes god awful!. I wouldn't give it to my dog. It will not give you any kind of buzz at all. If you order from them, they will keep sending it to you and charge your account. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!

I needed a break from wine, but I still needed to chill and wind down. I saw the Aplos advertisement and decided it was worth trying. It is great mixed with iced tea, or spritzer and lime or lemon. I can have one drink with 2 ounces of Aplos and feel totally relaxed and calm. I have reordered and plan next to get on the monthly delivery. I am glad to have found the alternative for me to alcohol.
