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.

Amazing CX when a glass arrived shattered; love their approach to community and co-creating flavors, and I love that I have an aesthetic and yummy non-alcoholic option for summer hosting.

My go-to apéritif, the flavor is just right- not too bitter or too sweet. I like the glass bottle for experimenting with different recipes at home and the canned version to take along. I enjoy the branding/packaging and personal storytelling of the founder. The brand also curates and hosts fun and out-of-the-ordinary events. The Friends & Family sample gave me an insider "first taste" feeling, which also created a close link to the product.

I only have positive feedback at the moment.

I love Ghia! I really appreciate the mission behind the brand. Stepping into the market with a non-alcoholic product is brave and what I love about Ghia is how effortless it is to consume and mix a cocktail with the products. The brand itself gives me cool girl vibes and allows consumers to partake with their friends in a mindful way.

The aperitif is a little bitter for my liking but I could see it pairing well with certain cocktails. I’d say follow Ghia’s cocktail recipes if you want to experiment with new flavours. As for the soda, 10’s all around. Light and vibrant is how I would describe this beverage.

Not crazy about bitter spritzs but this is the perfect balance of bitter and sweet. My go to for an after work aperitif!

I had the pleasure of trying Ghia while sitting on a balcony overlooking Los Angeles with the founder Melanie. Melanie made us a spritz and it was crisp and refreshing, a little bitter (which I like) and well balanced. However, the real pleasure is understanding the experience that Ghia aims to create. This is not an alcohol replacement, rather a unique experience on its own. Yes, it is meant to take the place of a cocktail in terms of time and place, but what you really get when you drink Ghia it is a product that was crafted with your experience in mind and heart. We did a great podcast with her where you can learn about Melanie and Ghia: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2f0oN1dy328r5RqM6t6zit?si=857c82b6ebfb4ad6

I love le spritz. It’s great on its own or mixed with juice, flavored sparkling water or even a splash of Prosecco.

Love everything Ghia! Their spritzes are delightful, but to me their ghiaduja is the real star. The crunchy hazelnut is my single most craved sweet treat. Also their aperitif bottles are gorgeous and fun to repurpose.

I had this delicious drink at a pizza parlour in Paris and loved it instantly. The waiter said I might find it bitter, but that was not the case at all for my sensitive palette. This lovely beverage is a wonderful alternative for people like myself, that cannot drink alcohol. I wish I could find it stocked in Paris – I would have it on hand for guests when entertaining.

The packaging and overall vibe are amazing. But the taste was just meh for me. It wasn’t terrible, just kinda mid. I found it a little more salty or bitter than I expected. Love the branding though. The one I tried was soda and lime&salt.
Ghia makes amazing non alcoholic drinks that tastes great. It helps me relax and is a great alternative to drinking alcohol. It won’t leave you hungry over or feeling bad. It’s enjoyable and you can use it to make great mocktails. The sets vary but you can get them with cute glasses, pour spouts, coasters, etc. It definitely makes a great gift.
I love all the non-alcoholic options entering the scene! And Ghia has some of the best design and marketing. I've tried the Le Spritz- and although it was fun and definitely unique (some non-alc tastes like a sparkling water with juice), it was a tad too bitter for me. I would definitely try more of their options in the future, because I like the company, but I don't think I would purchase that particular product again. Also, it's difficult for me to get past some of the high prices for many non-alc options. I do appreciate the care they put into it, but I think it should be a bit more mid-range between beverages like Olipop and an alcoholic option.
The whole experience is amazing, long after you've had your first sip. Ordering and delivery = quick and easy. Unboxing is great - from the copy on the box to the coasters. Tastes absolutely delicious and mixes well. It's become an evening ritual for me. I love that it's freshly made and also love the text messages from the brand!

While I love this one, I'm ready for different blends!
Had to go with the sparking set.
Something about the packaging made me think I would hate the taste, but I was pleasantly surprised that that was not the case. Do I buy it regularly? No. But that's only because sometimes I want my alcoholic beverages to actually contain alcohol.
Meh
Superb!
I’ve tried all the flavors and they are just ok. I always see them at various pop ups and fairs but I would not purchase it for myself. The flavors just don’t taste good. I can see it as a fun alcohol free option in a pinch but there are just so many other options out there now
