Tilden reviews and discussion

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

Was excited to try out these non-alcoholic cocktails because they market being ready right from the bottle, just add ice. The packaging was minimal and humble, and I love that they call out how the bottles are hand-labeled, so the product feels small batch and special. The label design also felt very speakeasy and unique. When I unpacked the bottles and stood them straight-up I thought they had leaked because the liquid wasn't filled up to the top or even through the neck of the bottle. While the label aesthetic is nice, it was perhaps a missed opportunity to not include that each bottle is its own individual mocktail vs trying to understand if it's a mixer or something else. I think what threw me off was the hierarchy of the name and flavor profile being at the top. The flavor of Lacewing was a bit too sweet for me, but I think I'd like to play around with adding some other ingredients to it. Each bottle was about one drink in a highball glass with ice. I probably wouldn't purchase the 6.8oz sizes at full price.

I tried Tilden during the most recent Thingdrop, which included the flask duo. At first glance, the packaging is beyond cute. The two flavors included were: Lacewing and Tandem. They both were incredibly different. Lacewing was my favorite by far and I enjoyed adding a pear to garnish the drink. Tandem was also really good, it had a bit of a smoky flavor (reminded me of a reminiscent mezcal drink). Overall, I give the taste of these drinks 5/5 for being non-alcoholic. They both tasted good and had unique flavors. They weren't sweet and honestly I sipped them like I would a normal cocktail. Only reason I give 4/5 is because of the price. The Flask Duo sold at $17.60 (a supposedly 'discounted' price), each flask was equivalent to *almost* one drink (100mL) which totaled it to be $8.80/per drink. Whereas on their site, they currently are selling each individual flavor at 750mL for $35 which is equivalent to $5/drink. Pricing is steep for a non-alcoholic drink to begin with, but occasionally I may splurge to pay $5/drink every-now-and-then.

Beautifully complex mocktails perfect for a quiet evening in. They definitely feel like an adult beverage, so drinking them is an experience. Tandem is dark and smokey, while Lacewing is bright and tart. I enjoyed both depending on my mood.

I really want to give this brand a 5/5 and the only reason I can’t is solely due to the portion size vs the price. To be fair, I did purchase 2 flasks (essentially 1 drink in each) at the discounted price for the Thing Drop, but at full price I would have been deterred. I would have to assume that as the brand grows, that will even out a bit. The 2 varieties I tried were Lacewing and Tandem. I enjoyed Lacewing most out of the 2 - it was light and refreshing with just a pinch of tartness. Additionally, the hint of pear really rounded the drink out quite nicely. Tandem was also delicious - had a bit of an earthy mouth deal with a warming blend of spices. Cozy fall vibes for sure. Overall, as someone who does not indulge in alcohol anymore, I feel that this brand absolutely smashed the N/A beverage category with these products. If the price comes down a little bit, I’ll be ordering these for many special occasions!

I am a drinker of most things alcoholic, but am very intrigued lately by the possibilities of well-made non-alcoholic cocktails. Tilden validates the viability of the such tasty beverages with a clean, complex, & low sugar/calories offering that doesn't contain artificial nor adaptogenic ingredients. I like the Lacewing. I would pour it for myself as a cocktail any time of the day I want to relax & sip. Good stuff.

As an expecting mama, I’ve been so underwhelmed by the NA cocktails at restaurants and in stores. Tilden brings new flavor profiles to the NA beverage space and I love them! Served both flavors (Tandem and Lacewing) at my baby shower and the guests loved them so much I bought double the bottles for my second baby shower coming up! I personally love the Lacewing as a former gin/vodka drinker- it’s herbaceous and slightly tangy, not sweet, and has a little bit of a spice kick at the end to keep the flavor profile interesting. The glass bottles are perfect for hosting a group. Beyond their flavors, Tilden’s customer support was so quick to respond and make sure I was a happy customer.

This is my go-to indulgence. So good. So simple. So good. I love it with a slice of orange or peel of cucumber. Ice. And of course a good book.

I had Tilden's Lacewing cocktail for the first time about a month ago and immediately became a huge fan. The cocktail is light and delicious, and the packaging is so elevated. The entire drinking experience really made the night!

I tried the Tandem cocktail and really enjoyed the complicated flavors : tangy, smoky, and a hint of ginger. While this drink packs a powerful punch, it was surprisingly light.

Really nice cocktails, that don't make you feel like you're missing out on a "real" cocktail experience. I'm drinking some Tandem right now, and it's a bit of a rich/warm taste while being refreshing at the same time. I did chill it quite a bit and poured it over a big cube. It's a perfect thing to sip, like what a cocktail should be.

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 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 tried the flask duo flavors. Overall, the flavor is great and serves well for an alcoholic beverage replacement. My only con is the price point. It still comes out to about $15/drink. For a at home experience, the price point is high.

Ok here's the thing; I didn't actually love these, they were too bitter for me. BUT despite my personal taste buds I kind of thought they were great: the packaging design is beautiful, the flavors are complex, and when I shared them with a friend I was unsurprised to find they loved them. There is a real dearth of cool, well-considered nonalcoholic beverages out there. This one ended up being the wrong flavor profile for me, a lover of sweet and citrus, but truly I would recommend giving them a try.

Delicious & well-balanced flavors!

The mocktails are interesting, but buying seedlip in volume is a better deal IMO. The brown bottle in the duo arrived having leaked all over the packaging. Tilden quickly reshipped. The brown bottle also leaked in the second package, so there’s clearly a packaging issue here.

The design and bottles seemed fairly premium. Flavors were decent. I think in general the flask duo could have been larger in volume, but overall a good option for non-alcoholic cocktail mixer.

Love the packaging and the look of this item however the flavor was not my favorite.

I have been in the industry for 5+ years and Tilden is the MOST thoughtful NA cocktail I've had the privilege of trying. The beverage is incredibly thoughtful, complex and unique. It delivers a great experience on the rocks or chilled, straight-up!
