Reviews mention

  • Chic, luxurious packaging
  • Complex, bitter flavor profile
  • Versatile mixing options
  • Convenient, tasty canned spritzes
  • Punishingly bitter aftertaste
  • Murky, cloudy appearance
  • Short post‑open shelf life
  • Inconsistent flavor distinctness

Ghia earns polarized reviews yet proves effective for bitter, botanical non‑alcoholic sipping; many praise its complex, Campari‑adjacent flavor, chic packaging, and canned Le Spritz (especially Ginger and Lime & Salt) for recreating a cocktail ritual, while others find the taste punishingly bitter, murky, or one‑note and say it works better mixed. Reviews also note standout unboxing and gifting appeal but call out inconsistencies across flavors, short shelf life once opened, and sediment/cloudiness in the bottle.

  • Love the packaging. Love the flavors-- I have purchased Ghia a few times for my home.

    Feedback

    Some of the flavors are very close to each other-- very little distinction.

  • I love their little sprites! Adult taste without the booze:)

  • I tried the salt and lime flavor - it definitely tasted like an elevated soda/seltzer, a good option if you're having drinks with your friends and want something that feels a little more special. I felt relaxed after drinking, and a little sleepy. Would be interested to see what it would be like drinking this for a night out!

    Feedback

    I would love for the flavors to be a little more punchy and bitter, like a cocktail.

  • Gorgeous packaging, their website is so fun and interactive. it has great recipe ideas which is vital for a unique alcohol alternative. I buy this for the holidays.

    Feedback

    The price is high, and the flavor is not what I expected. But it's still great to mix with other drinks.

  • Have only tried the ginger spritz RTD cans but wow, what an amazing drink! I’m a light alcohol consumer so this is a really great zero-proof option

  • Tasted like compost. Better with Perrier or ginger beer. I love trying NA drinks, but this one missed the mark for me.

    Feedback

    It doesn't taste good.

  • Love this brand/product. The little Spritz cans get me every time; one of the better and more complex NA drinks I've tried.

    Feedback

    Excited to try more seasonal flavors - would love some more variety.

  • Love the branding and mission. The taste is great. It's sophisticated and complex without being too overwhelming, and it really does make you feel like you're enjoying a fancy cocktail. Love the smaller cans.

    Feedback

    Looking forward to additional flavors to help diversify options

  • I got the opportunity to try a Ghia drink and was pleasantly surprised. As someone who cannot drink hard alcohol, I find it hard to find non-alcoholic alternatives that are not over-saturated with sugar (or completely taste-less). The Ghia drink had a mature taste profile - the flavor was so good I had 2 cans!

    Feedback

    I wish the cans were bigger!

  • Lovely packaging and seems to a wonderful celebration of well curated fruits. Love that it can be savoured on its own or be mixed with other libations to bring out the flavours.

    Feedback

    One of the ones I tried was a bit pulpy for my taste but I think a little bit more ice did the trick.

  • Very sharp ginger flavor, which I love and sort of a tonic aftertaste. Drinks slowly like an actual alcoholic beverage and makes you feel calm.

    Feedback

    More flavors, better flavors.

  • I got a large bottle of the original aperitif to have around as something that still feels festive and fun (and not just like an afterthought) for when we have people over and someone doesn't feel like drinking for whatever reason. Since then, my spouse and I have both tried it with just a little sparkling water, and we both liked it! We haven't really tried to get more elaborate with cocktails, but I would imagine adding some kind of sweet component would make it even tastier (there's really no sweetness to the product by itself). Also, I know it might seem silly, but I actually think that the design/ branding of the bottle itself, and the beautiful color of the liquid inside, make a difference in terms of our reason for trying Ghia (having inclusive drink options around when we entertain).

    Feedback

    I don't think the claims about "energy" and "calming the mind" should be the reason you try this. I'm not sure those effects really exist. Which is fine! It's a fun and fancy nonalcoholic drink option, and it doesn't have to have health benefits!

  • I can't get enough of Ghia. While making an active effort to consume less alcohol, I began exploring alternatives that felt special and gave me that little bit of bite that I was missing. Ghia hits the mark. I mix it with Topo Chico for a refreshing and satisfying concoction. The bottle is beautiful and the branding is on point. I had to work with customer support once for a leaked bottle and they assured me that were working on the packaging issue and sent me a fresh bottle. Shipping has always been super speedy. I compare the price for one bottle, which lasts me a couple of weeks, to one casual evening out at with friends. It's worth it.

  • Really, really cool packaging and I love anything bitter / herbal tasting. Branding is on point and I think the founders are pretty cool to follow on social. If you like Aperol, you will probably like the taste of this.

    Feedback

    I didn't really *feel* anything, which I hate to say because I love the mission and the idea of not having to drink socially, but still going through the ritual of making a mocktail, etc.

  • I think the flavor profile just wasn't for me; as a nondrinker I'd been excited to try this out for a long time but when I finally had it I was underwhelmed. Likely it just doesn't meet my particular tastes, and id like to RAVE about how good their design and branding is, and what a good job they're doing introducing cool NA drinks to the mainstream. Flavor wise this is not my niche and I would only drink it again if a bar didn't have another good option, but if you're into a more bitter profile this might be the one for you, and I must give them all the points for cool

  • Love this stuff! I ❤️ bitter foods so it’s right up my alley. Plus I mostly don’t drink, so we are even more aligned.

  • The aperitif is okay — doesn’t really taste like an alcohol alternative but doesn’t really taste sweet. I’m not really sure how I feel about it. However, it’s gorgeous packaging and looks great on a bar cart!

  • Ghia’s Lime & Salt Spritz? Let me lay it out. This drink’s got a zesty kick, hits the spot on a hot day. But here’s the deal, it might not vibe with everyone. It’s an acquired taste, that salty tang might surprise ya. I appreciate the natural ingredients, though. If you’re into something unconventional and dig that salty twist, give it a shot. But if you’re a straight-up sweet drink lover, this might not be your jam. 🍹🧂

  • Great drink solo or with other friends. I would recommend to my friends or give them as a holiday gift

  • So good! Particularly love the lime and salt spritz.
