This is my favorite booze brand! I try two new flavors every month but I'd say that Rose Rose and Lavendar Lemon are my go-tos. I find myself cooking with these, mixing them in teas and club soda, and can drink them straight if I'd like that! The bottles are gorgeous and look so pretty out on a bar cart.
Loved the packaging and the elevated feel of the whole brand. Would try more flavors in the future & the recipe cards that come with the bottles are also really fun and make me want to try them in different ways.

I feel like my palette isn't sophisticated enough for the unique flavors they have and I don't know how to drink it regularly given the alcohol percentage. I didn't like the Citrus Flower flavor I tried that much, it was too floral. Haus is also marketed as a "low alcohol" option but its actually a quite high alcohol percentage drink (similar to wine). It makes me feel limited in how to drink it: On one hand I didn't like any of the flavors I've tried so far on the rocks and the flavor's not quite strong enough to essentially water down with seltzer but on the other hand Haus's flavors seem like great cocktail mixers to liquors (Whiskey + Bitter Clove for example) which then makes a really strong drink.
Everything about Haus is incredible! The aperitifs are all so unique and delicious. The packaging is adorable. And there’s no terrible hangover. Yum!

We are a Haus household and haven't looked back. If this doesn't say enough... we designed our entire kitchen esthetic around the Haus bottle design. We buy 12 bottles at a time on repeat. Rosé and Lemon Lavender are hands down my favorite flavor. Haus is the most genuine brand I've experienced since Warby Parker and that says a lot coming from me.
Feedback
Some flavors are a miss... I do wish they could do small shot samples for larger flavor releases in the future. I'd be inclined to buy more often and try new flavors in bulk.

Haus is an interesting product. I enjoyed every one that I tried, but I thought that they all tasted about the same. The ginger flavor stood out to me the most, I mixed it with seltzer and a little lemon and lime. I'm someone who likes to make a lot of complex tasting cocktails so I don't really think the product is even for me. I will 100% be bringing this to parties, get togethers, and dinners as it's really easy to drink and would satisfy most palettes. Go pick up a sample pack and see for yourself!

I'd love more complex flavors
Low abv is perfect for casual drinking, flavors are fun and delicious, packaging is *beautiful* (super fun to re-use the bottles as vases), amazing brand mission/story
Feedback
Wish it was available in retail stores. Would love Haus to-go (spritz in a can! for summer :))
I cannot say enough good things about Haus! I love it over ice, I love it with champagne, I love every flavor I have tried. The bottle is beautiful and the flavors are all so amazing. No hangover but also great for making cocktails!

I wish they shared more recipes for inspiration!

I’ve tried almost every flavor and they each have their own unique profile, but what they have in common is that they’re delicious. The low ABV (alcohol by volume) makes these a versatile addition to a happy hour sipper or nightcap. Great mixed with a bit of club soda or into a cocktail. My favorite is the grapefruit jalapeño flavor, which has just a hint of spice and makes a FANTASTIC secret ingredient for your go-to margarita.
Feedback
Flavors are sometimes out of stock, which has been a challenge when I want to restock a favorite, or buy a specific flavor for a friend as a gift. I try to reuse the bottles (they’re beautiful!) but the narrow neck and opaque surface makes them hard to clean.

flavors aren't as pronounced, high price point, perfect for gift or special occasion
Visually the bottle is beautiful and overall brand identity and story is very compelling. I always jump on new flavors and I have most enjoyed the strongest ones, recently the grapefruit and jalapeno. It's nice to bring to parties, as gifts, and have around the house. The recipe cards are amazingly helpful.
Feedback
I would like to try more pronounced flavors and different sizes. For two, I feel like there's an odd amount of product, at least for how we drink it? Basically Haus isn't part of my routine but it could be, I just haven't found my perfect drink and/or frequency yet.
With all the hype that surrounded the launch of Haus I was kind of disappointed in the flavor. It pretty much just tasted like any wine and I was looking forward to more potent flavors given the descriptions on the website.
I tried their sampler box, so I got a really good idea of their different flavor profiles. I had been dying to try this, as their branding totally got me, as well as their messaging about apertifs and low-sugar alcohols. During the pandemic, I got into fun beverages, and this was definitely one of them! For most of their drinks, I would suggest mixing it with sparkling water, as the floral tastes are way too much to be drank on the rocks. But I loved the variety of options and would highly recommend someone try it. Also, they include a fun magazine with awesome music, recipe recommendations. They really go above and beyond.
Feedback
I do wish I could go to a store in LA to pick it up, explore the options.
Every part of this experience is lovely - from ordering to receiving to unboxing to tasting to storing (displaying) the bottle. It really elevates the drinking experience. They're also one of the few alcohol brands that are transparent about their ingredients. Setting a great standard for existing and future brands.

Not much - wish I drank more!
I really really wanted to love this product as I adore the founders, branding, and mission. However, I did not enjoy drinking the rose flavor on its own and would not purchase again to drink it by itself. That being said, when I added some sparkling water and mixed it with tequila and fresh fruit, the taste was delightful! I appreciated that although I was mixing in alcohol I felt like I used less than I normally would abs so I was able to drink less overall and not experience a hangover! If you’re interested in this product I definitely recommend getting the sample sizes and inviting friends over for a tasting! If you like hard liquor or champagne I would experiment mixing fun drinks too!
Well, I love the brand and the packaging. The story of the brand seems really compelling and the founders seem like wonderful people. I was excited when I purchased a sample pack. I'm really into spirits and there are lots of apertifs I really enjoy. This is a pretty broad category, though, and doesn't necessarily give you a clear indication of what the flavor will be like. I thought Haus tasted like flavored white wine. I didn't enjoy it very much. It might have been unfair of me, but I think I anticipated a low proof spirit where the flavor in the title would be the primary flavor. It really mostly tastes like white wine with a touch of the title flavor. It's fair to say that's on me for the error, but I've let a few friends who like white wine try the product and they've all felt a bit disappointed. When I can buy an excellent sweet vermouth or a decent bottle of wine for $25, it's hard to justify Haus's $40 price tag.
I love absolutely everything about Haus's brand design. I got a sample pack and especially enjoyed the citrus flower and ginger yuzu. They were tasty both in cocktails and as aperitifs.

These are a lot stronger than I realized they were, and I didn't love some of the guilt-provoking ads for Haus that I saw on Instagram around the holidays.

I think this brand has done a great job with a creative approach and innovative project. I love the fair-trade element, and their desire to create a lower sugar alternative to an aperol (my FAV drink) however the flavors ultimately were not tasty enough for me. The one that I liked was the Lavender Lemon flavor. The others were too bitter and almost "too sophisticated" for my liking. I also thought that this would be a lower alcohol type alternative- but found myself reaallllyyyy feeling it every time I had a drink mixed with Haus. So- beware of the alc. content when using as a mixer or spritz addition! Kudos the the business for great packaging, advertisements, and unboxing! Super beautiful product.

I wanted to love this product SO BADLY but I just did not. I did not finish the sampler pack I purchased.

Haus looks great, the brand is cool; I want to like it. Some flavors, however, are a miss for me, and the overall beverages are best when mixed with other spirits, which limits the purpose.
Feedback
The flavor isn't exciting in a way that makes me want more... it's best when mixed with other products for me.

The packaging was really beautiful. Both the box it is sent with and the bottle itself. The flavors are very elevated. I feel like you either will love the unique flavors or hate it. Luckily, I enjoyed the flavors I tried.
Feedback
Would love smaller sizes since it takes awhile for me to finish one bottle and would like to try more flavors.
Brand, mission(?). It was pretty tasty and easy to drink on a nice day.
Feedback
The flavor that I tried was a little floral for my taste but I'd be very interested in other flavors
