Reviews mention

  • Complex bitter-herbal flavor
  • Elegant premium packaging
  • Convincing cocktail experience
  • Convenient canned spritz options
  • Overly bitter taste for many
  • Sediment and murky appearance
  • Short open-bottle shelf life
  • Similar-tasting canned flavors

Ghia earns polarized reviews: devotees praise its complex, bitter-herbal profile that convincingly replicates aperitivo cocktails—especially Le Spritz, Ginger, and Lime & Salt—along with standout packaging and a true “cocktail ritual” without sweetness. Detractors find many flavors too bitter, perfumey, or kombucha-like, with some noting flavor sameness, murky appearance/sediment, short shelf life once opened, and no noticeable mood effects.

  • Obsessed with Ghia. I especially love the Ginger Spritz! So glad they're available on Amazon now too — makes ordering super easy.

  • Amazing packaging, but the flavor is much too bitter for me. I had to add a lot of ice to make it palatable.

    Feedback

    Less bitterness, a bit more acid maybe?

  • I tried this brand in an effort to lower my weekly alcohol in take. It sure does the trick! Taste great and everyone asks "whats that" because the branding is so pretty.

    Feedback

    a little less flavoring

  • My favorite alcohol-free alternative. Feels chic, like I am drinking a cocktail. I am obsesses with the spritz cans that are somehow SO carbonated.

    Feedback

    Bigger sizes for the spritz cans.

  • Overall, Ghia is one of my favorite non-alcoholic tonics. The original Le Sprtiz flavor is my favorite, and I love the botanical taste. Ghia is a great weekday evening treat!

    Feedback

    I found the new Ginger flavor too strong, and I wish the cans / serving size was a little larger.

  • The margarita flavor was a little too salty for my liking. I did feel a little buzz after drinking it, which was nice! Not sure I would buy again.

  • One of my sober friends had purchased these and I gave it a try and was very pleasantly surprised. The flavor was delicious and nuanced and I didn't really miss the lack of ABV (though it would probably make a great mixer if you're not sober)

  • I've tried the Spritz and Gia Ginger, both of which I really enjoyed. When it comes to a fun drink, it's really nice to have something with a bit of fresh bitterness. I found it more refreshing and interesting than something like a zero-proof beer, especially the ghia ginger. I was able to pick these drinks up at BevMo instead of having to order from their website, which is a bonus!

    Feedback

    I always wish that fun alcohol alternatives like Ghia were a bit less expensive. Drinks in this "genre" usually cost more than similar canned alcoholic cocktails. I'm still rating Ghia 5/5 because I think the flavor is worth the $.

  • loved this drink and always keep it on hand for me or anyone else non-alcoholic drinks

    Feedback

    would love more ideas for ways to mix it with other things

  • As someone who is always striving to drink less alcohol, Ghia has become a staple in my fridge, both the larger format bottles, and the canned spritzes. It's gotten to the point where if I go to a restaurant/bar and it's on the menu, I am ordering it and telling everyone there how amazing it is. The flavor is on point, and it's the only non-alc that actually mimics the feel of drinking the hard stuff.

    Price

  • So yummy, so fun, a great alternative to alcohol that feels like just as much of a treat. Had a can last night and making a mocktail with the bottle tonight!

    Feedback

    My only comment would be it is very expensive, but hey so is nice alcohol !

  • I love the fact that Ghia brings the flavor of an apéritif without the drawbacks of alcohol and presents it all in an aesthetically pleasing package!

  • I'm a huge fan of Ghia. I did a sober year and their drinks helped me feel comfortable going out and enjoying my night without alcohol. Their branding is icon - high glamour that makes you want to show off the can. The flavors are also really nice, and make you forget you aren't consuming alcohol.

    Feedback

    More variety of flavors.

  • good high-quality drink and felt like a very premium experience, tasted pretty good and i loved the packaging and branding overall! especially good to enjoy with a friend who will appreciate non-alcoholic beverages, if you drink with people who aren't into that they won't get it; didn't feel many effects but very tasty drink

    Feedback

    wish this was available on every corner store and a bit cheaper!

  • Cute packaging but the worst taste! So bitter!

    Feedback

    Find a way to balance the bitterness

  • Lacks any real depth of flavor. Is a pretty one-note “bitter”. It’s fine as an entry non-alcoholic aperitif but there are better ones out there.

    Feedback

    Could use more flavor notes, citrus, alpine, herbs. Could get a lot closer to actual amaros and aperitifs.

  • So. Freaking. Good. Refreshing, and actually tastes like something - I feel like so many drinks that brand themselves as nonalcoholic alternatives end up falling short, but this one doesn't.

  • I've purchased ghia original and spritz for myself and others as a gift.

    Feedback

    Fantastic packaging and presentation, which is why I like to gift ghia. Customer service is fantastic. But, it's a challenging beverage. It's NA, but I can only drink it if I mixed with mezcal or other beverages. Everything is wonderful except for the actual liquid.

  • I am a sucker for beautiful packaging and wow. that bottle?! The aperitif is real bitter, but thats the point. I like to mix in sweeter things like juice and tonic. The spritz though! So yummy. Still has that nice floral, botanical palette. Makes me feel like I'm on vacation is Positano.
