Tilden makes premium ready-to-serve non-alcoholic cocktails. 

At Tilden, we are reimagining what drinking looks and feels like. What if it’s less about tapping out and more about tapping in? Embracing our truest selves and reveling in the nuance of little moments – the exhilarating, the awkward, and everything in between?

While at Harvard Business School, our Co-Founders spent two years crafting the non-alcoholic cocktails they wished they could find on menus and at dinner parties. They set out to create a line of complex, non-alcoholic social beverages unlike anything you’ve sipped before. 

We’re not mimicking the taste of booze or the quick and fast nature of on-the-go beverages. We believe in the importance of rituals and gathering, and our multi-serve bottles were designed with shareable moments in mind.

Our mission is to make sophisticated cocktails that stir and delight the senses – without the usual added sugars or trendy mind-altering ingredients. With uncompromising quality and a commitment to craft, Tilden is pioneering a new category of drinks that welcomes all and inspires genuine connection among one another.

- Ready-to-pour

Tilden's non-alcoholic beverages are well-packaged and offer unique, complex flavors, particularly the popular Lacewing. They provide a great beverage experience, especially when served over ice or mixed with seltish water. However, they're considered quite expensive given the bottle size, and some customers found certain flavors, like Tandem, too smoky or bitter.

Very unique taste and a great gift idea. 
Would definitely purchase again and would like to try and new flavors. 

LOVED these thingdrop samples and definitely will be ordering more. They really remind me of strong, smoky cocktails without the buzz. I was really impressed and can’t wait to order more. 

Very chic packaging! My Thingdrop came in these cute little flask things. I did find it expensive for the product we got (the Thingdrop was maybe a sample pack, but the full size was pretty pricey), which would probably be my main reason for not repurchasing. I did find both flavors I tried really interesting and good. I generally diluted with some seltzer to make them last a bit longer and enjoyed it as a swap in for alcohol. I would say this is like a very complex and unique juice/mixer type vibe as opposed to like a non alcoholic spirit replacement, if that makes sense. If you are willing to pay for that, definitely give Tilden a try!

The taste of both lacewing and tandem were pleasant, but also felt like it was missing something for complexity. I’m glad I tried it out from thingdrop, but I wouldn’t buy it again. 

I was pleasantly surprised by these, much more so by the Lacewing (zesty & herbaceous) rather than the Tandem. Lacewing was delightfully refreshing and super subtle on the sweetness which I loved, with a nice flavour profile. Tandem was a bit too smoky for my taste, but I appreciated that it felt quite savory. Not sure I would re-purchase on my own given that I don't prioritize non-alc cocktails such as these very often but I quite enjoyed them nonetheless!

Arrived in a cool, old-school bottles that are keepers regardless of what you think of the contents. While they are "complex and interesting", our reactions were pretty diverse as to the flavors.  Most of us thought they were better over ice and in sparkling water in terms of mouthfeel. If you do like them, the price point is still pretty expensive per unit more in-line with alcoholic beverages which is a bit surprising. Overall, we'd give this a mixed review as such.

Overall it was fun and unique, just not as interesting or complex as other non-alcoholic cocktails out there.

I LOVE the scent of these, the taste is a plus! Very vintage look too! I suggested this to an influencer out there who came clean about an alcohol addiction. His story ripped through my soul. Alcohol can be a "ruiner" of good family, friend ties, and a thriving business. Tilden, thank you for existing and making the world a better place without more alcohol. 

I loved the packaging and the range of flavors. However, I thought the aftertaste was a little strange and the actual drink felt pretty grainy texturewise. 

I’m surprisingly impressed by this drink. It’s low cal but very flavorful. The strongest scent that comes through is the oakiness which gives it that reminiscence of a true cocktail. The tart cherry is also quite bitter and tangy. 

Overall I really like the cocktail. Personally i like a little bubbles so I’d probably add some club soda to top this off but it’s great on its own as well
