Ritual Zero Proof reviews and discussion

This is the best NA tequila I've tried, and my boyfriend makes me the most amazing mocktails with it! It has a peppery aftertaste that’s really nice and is brought out by the preserved lime juice we use. We also love the gin alternative, and we've already purchased another bottle.

I've been trying to drink less lately, and for me the ritual of having a drink with dinner or with friends is not something I wanted to give up. However, I sleep better and feel better when I drink less. Enter Ritual Zero Proof. I love a good margarita and honestly the Tequila alternative has a very similar profile to a reposado and makes a very tasty margarita. I would add a bit of orange juice to it as well, somehow that flavor profile helps bring out the sweetness and balance the acid better.

I've really enjoyed Ritual Zero Proof, some of their NA flavors are definitely better than others, but overall, a great product. As far as a replacement, their Run and Tequila are a home run! The Gin is still great for mocktails but brings more of a juniper flavor than an alcohol bit. And I will say, their Whiskey does nothing for me. Their new aperitif is a star for this summer! Would 100% recommend it to someone trying to live a damp lifestyle.

Ritual Zero Proof Tequila is a great alternative to regular tequila when you don’t want the hang over. It mixes great to make a zero proof margarita or Paloma. I enjoyed the flavor because it tastes a lot like tequila but you wont get hammered.

While this doesn’t taste exactly like real alcohol, it is close enough. I do think it’s a little pricey and would rather buy a mocktail or a sparkling water instead

I tried their gin alternative and LOVED it in a g&t! I tasted it by itself and it's definitely missing some of the more botanical flavors that Tanquerey/Hendricks has, but is still a good replacement. I can't wait to try their tequila next!

Great products. Have been a great addition to dry January, baby showers and any time you want a special drink but no booze.

I tasted their Zero Proof Gin. I first tried it a gin and tonic. Tonic is sweet and loaded with flavor, so it’s difficult to taste the "gin" directly, but its presence definitely elevated the drink. Qualities like a pine aftertaste and a lingering “burn” showed Ritual’s gin to be a worthy addition. The mild burn stuck around longer than expected and curiously reminded me of the sensation after eating a bite of fresh jalapeno. Next, I tasted the zero proof gin on its own. It was a shock to me. The drink touches your tongue and it’s surprisingly flat. The smell and taste conditioned me to anticipate the heat sensation of high proof alcohol and there was none to speak of. The flavor is interesting and complex enough, but doesn’t offer much appeal for a sipping drink. Pine is the dominant flavor over the traditional citrus, floral, and juniper notes of gins.

As someone interested in trying a Dry January, Ritual Zero Proof came across at exactly the right time. My local store had only had the Tequila Alternative, though I would have preferred the Whiskey. While the bottle appearance was stylish, I was quite surprised by the expensive price that mimicked and even surpassed some alcoholic spirits. At home, I mixed it with Coca-Cola and lime, and instead of something that reminded me of something I'd order in a bar, I got a strange artificial taste I don't think I would have gotten with traditional tequila. I had two of them to make sure it wasn't something with the glass or the ice, but the flavor remained. The only benefit it has on regular tequila is that I didn't have a headache the next day!

Flavor is in the ball park of what it should be. Tried a few of these at a local NA store and bought a bottle of the whiskey to try in cocktails at home. Being that it's not a alcohol removed NA drink the flavor isn't as close as others. Flavors are a bit artificial tasting. It's ok in a mix. But if you are opting for NA I'd suggest going for an alcohol removed version. Price is a bit steep too.

Terrible!! Was really excited to try the Whiskey and Tequila alternative non-alcoholics from Ritual Zero BUT was absolutely disappointed! Tequila Alternative, someone must have told them to make sure there was a “burn” because there is no agave taste/flavor, just a mouthful of black pepper!! It is so strong, not sure any amount of mixer would balance the drink and have a hint of tequila. Whiskey Alternative, hoping for a carmel-butterscotch tone but, as with the tequila alternative, the black pepper is predominant. Hard to believe others are able to have positive reviews with soda water or sparkling lime mixers as there is little flavor other than black pepper. General Comment, it is virtually impossible to leave a review on the product website, tried to find how and failed. These two products, costing about $28 each, are not indicative of the high reviews actually shown on the Ritual Zero website so there is a lot of doubt.

Order weeks ago and have yet to receive. I was planning on trying other items but not now . I’ve emailed them a few times and never was given a courtesy of a reply . Buyer Beware !!!!
