Ghia is a non-alcoholic social tonic packed with botanical extracts.

Ghia is a social tonic inspired by mediterranean aperitivo culture, made for nights to remember. Our pure ingredients, a biting combination of botanical extracts — no alcohol — are powerful enough to bring out the best version of you without numbing the night (or the next morning). Our original apéritif is bright and bitter and tastes like summer on the rocks. 
Have it with sparkling water or in the cocktail of your choice, ideally with good music and even better friends.

I enjoy the flavors and would encourage the brand to go even bolder.

As someone who doesn't typically choose zero-proof cocktails, I have enjoyed Ghia's flavor as a weekday drink option due to the punch its extracts pack (I wish they brought even a little more). I've found mixing Ghia with Fentiman's lemonade or a mineral water like Topo Chico over ice does the trick. Ghia won't magically turn me into a non-alcoholic drink evangelist, but I won't turn one down ever, either.

I am obsessed with Ghia!!!! First of all the branding and packaging is an experience in itself. Next, the actual product is delicious. I love the bitter taste with natural flavors and hints of ginger. I would drink Ghia every day if they were a bit more affordable. 

Massive Ghia fan. I love how their beverages are so uniquely their own flavor and not trying to be something else. The original spritz is my favorite, you you really can’t go wrong across the entire brand. 

I’ve been enjoying Ghia for a couple of years now, and while it's become a staple in my fridge, it's certainly had its ups and downs. When I first tried it, I didn't realize you need to mix it with something like sparkling water. Honestly, my initial sip was a bit of a shock—let’s just say I wouldn't recommend drinking it straight! But once I added some fizzy water, the flavors balanced out beautifully, turning into a delightful, refreshing beverage that feels sophisticated and satisfying.

That being said, let’s talk price. At $38 a bottle, it’s not exactly a budget-friendly option, especially considering you need to mix it with something else to get the full experience. Hosting a party with Ghia can quickly turn into a pricey affair, and even just keeping it stocked for a casual sip can strain the wallet.

Now, for the real kicker: the bottles themselves. I’ve bought around 12 bottles over the past two years, and in 9 of them, either the cork broke off into the bottle or the top lid came off entirely. Talk about frustrating! I've started saving old working tops just in case, but if you don’t have that backup, you’re pretty much shit out of luck. 

Love the flavor of this. The bottle looks great on a bar cart and in drinks with it's color. It has a refreshing bitter taste which I really enjoy and I appreciate the ingredients.

Love the mission and ethos of this brand, however unfortunately I did not find the taste worth it. Additionally; too pricey considering the mediocre taste.

Great over ice as a non alcoholic option for party drinks.

Ghia is the perfect non-alcoholic drink for those looking to enjoy a flavorful, refreshing beverage without the booze. This social tonic is packed with botanical extracts, giving it a unique, herbal taste that’s both calming and energizing. It’s ideal for sipping on during gatherings or enjoying a quiet evening, offering the same sophisticated vibe as an alcoholic drink but with no hangover! If you're looking for a chic, alcohol-free option that still feels like a treat, Ghia is a must-try! 🌿🍃

Shelf life once opened didn’t last long at all, and went off almost immediately. 

Beautiful packaging, unboxing was really nice, product was nice but a bit too bitter. Perfect if you love a G&T, but that’s just personal choice.

Big fan, slightly bitter taste at first but I've really grown to love it. One of my favorite random details about Ghia is their Spotify playlists 🎶. While the unboxing was lovely when bought online, I love seeing Ghia in a local grocery store in Detroit (dangerous spontaneous purchases happen there...).

Price point feels a tad high and it certainly doesn't last as long as booze.

I bought this over the holidays to serve to the family members who don't drink - it feels grownup and I love the herbaceous notes in it. It is pretty thick so I suggest mixing with whatever floats your boat.

UPDATE: I picked up a pack of canned spritzes (lime + salt) on a ThingDrop and it is tasty! Herbaceous and refreshing and honestly gives me a perfect "mocktail" experience. I added plain seltzer to cut it, it has a concentrated taste to it; a single can may make at least 2 drinks. 

I loved Ghia out of the bottle but when they launched the spritzes it was game over for me. They are sort of a splurge but they're so incredibly good. When I host a party I love having a non alc option, but honestly I've noticed that guests also just love to use them as a mixer. The original spritz and Ghia Ginger flavors are my fave-- they never disappoint!

Update: I finally splurged on the Ghianduja... omg. It's beyond good. And I'm not a chocolate girl. I ate this with a spoon from the jar. It was unreal.

Wish you had larger formats of the Le Spritz. 

Ghia is a non-alcoholic staple in our house. Specifically, the cans of Le Spritz are a favorite for our brunch and after dinner drinks. All three flavors are honestly really great and unique, but the Lime & Salt flavor is my jam. It tastes a bit like a  cross between a carbonated bloody mary and a caesar (IYKYK).  The fee structure is a bit tough, but on special occasions Ghia hits the spot.

Great flavor for being a non-alcoholic beverage and is pretty easy to get creative with making mocktails. I enjoy the Ghia product over Kin Euphoric and still would like to try their spritz product. Be prepared that for just about any drink you make with it, someone is bound to assume you made a bloody mary based on the color.  Also, I still like to use it even with other liquor since it adds a nice herbal flavor and isn't going to add sweetness to a drink. 

The aftertaste is a bit more bitter than I was expecting, but not necessarily bad! Just takes some getting used to.

I had tried the bottled version of Ghia in a mocktail at an event last year as one of my first encounters with non-alcoholic beverages and thought the flavoring was really interesting. I later gifted bottles to a pregnant family member who raved about it!  I had been eyeing the spritz for a bit because of the amazing packaging + coolness factor around the brand,  and when I finally got my hands on it, I was not let down. I love that Ghia included their consumers in the R&D phase for the Spritz and really worked to get the flavor right. It's a very elevated flavor, while still having fun ~ come for the packaging, stay for the spritz ☀️

In theory I love Ghia, however the texture and color was a little off putting to me. I own a bar and we carry this product to make Mocktails and I have brought a bottle home too. I love the flavor, you can make so many fun cocktails with it. But it is just super murky and cloudy and sometimes just is not the most aesthetically pleasing color. When someone is paying $12 for a drink, you want it to look cute! Especially when all your friends are having a cocktail that is equally as cute! 

I bought a pack of the soda with the Ghia Ginger and Le Spritz because I love a nighttime cocktail but I'm trying to find mocktails to replace it with. 

I love the Ghia Ginger - it's bitter, spicy, and refreshing. I felt like it had the right amount of flavor and spritz. This one was my favorite of the 2 and was a great replacement for a cocktail.

Le Spritz left me wanting something a little more. It tasted watered down compared to the Ginger and didn't have the full flavor I typically want in a cocktail. For what it's worth, I love bitter drinks like campari, so the more bitter, the better. Maybe this spritz would be light enough for those who aren't into a strong bitter flavor. I think the bottle would be better for me so I can control the strength of the flavor.

Besides the taste, can we just take a moment to admire the branding?! I felt so lux purchasing and drinking Ghia! The packaging really elevated the whole experience. The website is gorgeous!

I knocked a star off just because they are very expensive so they're not the most accessible alcohol alternative

LOVE this brand! First of all, I don't drink so finding all these non-alcoholic brands that taste amazing and look great! Ghia is more of a herbal/botanical flavor so it's not overly sweet. I've tried all the canned drinks and enjoyed all of them so far! 

recently spotted the Ghia nut butter and that's next on the list to try :) 

I'd love to see more retail distribution and on restaurant menus! 

I've admired Ghia's branding and voice from afar and finally tried it once I found a bottle in a store. I really enjoyed it! I had it with club soda and ginger beer and the bubbles really leveled it up for me. I've also tried their spritz can and was equally impressed. As someone who doesn't love drinking during the week, it was cool and special enough to have with dinner and still feel like I was getting an experience. I found the taste interesting, complex and pleasant. 

Received this as a gift. The unboxing experience was unreal. I really wish I took a picture. It was definitely cool and experiential which made me really excited to try Ghia. I think the drink itself was tasty. I didn’t get the kick of energy or calm down the mind… but it was enjoyable. I don’t know if I would order again, but if someone were to offer it to me - I wouldn’t turn it down. Comes with a recipe book for mocktails too!
