Tilden earns strong reviews for delivering complex, adult non-alcoholic cocktails—Lacewing (bright, herbaceous, tart) and Tandem (smoky, warm)—that feel ritual-worthy and host-ready, with elegant, giftable packaging. Reviews also flag downsides: some find flavors too smoky, tart, or bitter, a few note lack of complexity or odd aftertaste/texture, and portion size feels small; overall, a refined NA option best served over ice or with seltzer.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
I would say I liked these but did not love. Personally I think Lacewing was much better than Tandem. It was botanical, tasted like a “real” cocktail, and left a pleasant aftertaste. Tandem was smoky, but not in a good way for me. The smokiness lingered in my nose. I wish the thingdrop sizes were bigger, so I could have tested out different ways to serve and garnish. I think adding seltzer like others suggested would be good, or maybe shaking with ice before serving to dilute a bit and make very chilled. Overall not bad, I’d consider buying Lacewing again! Just not obsessed with it.

I was really excited to try this non-alcoholic option for some weekday dinners. While the flavor profile was unique, I found it to be very sweet/sour tasting. I ended up watering it down with seltzer water which made it taste better, and of course I got more out of the product. Compared to other non-alcoholic options, the his definitely provides a good alternative, but I wasn’t sold on the flavor alone.

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.
As someone who doesn’t really drink alcoholic beverages, this was fun to try. I liked mixing it with a flavored sparkling water. The bottles are small and the flavors are very unique.

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!

As a busy working mom with young children I’ve been looking for something to look forward to at the end of the day without the downsides of an alcoholic beverage. I am obsessed with Lacewing and it’s become my new favorite way to treat myself at the end of the day. Lacewing is the perfect refreshing drink I’ve always wanted.

As NA drinkers, we were looking for something different, and exciting! Tilden hits both of these marks. We were tired of the usual go to’s for special occasions. We can’t wait to serve Tilden at family functions. We love that they are on the healthy side and that they are different and a very refreshing experience! The flavors are delicious yet complex, with a lot going on, but they work so well together. And as for a nice presentation, the bottling and labeling are very elegant and impressive!!

Just try it, you’ll be hooked!

Both of the Tilden beverages are amazing! They have really interesting ingredients and tasting notes and the bottles/packaging are particularly beautiful. I’ve enjoyed Tandem and Lacewing on weeknights when I don’t want to drink alcohol, but I’ve also sipped them on the weekends! I truly like that they have a “kick” in them that almost imitates the burn of alcohol, especially the Tandem. I had feared that I’d want to drink either very quickly after a run or walk, but that is not the case! Both go down really smoothly and it’s an experience I want to savor and enjoy.

We loved our experience with Tilden Non-Alcoholic Cocktails. Great, high quality taste that’s just delicious. The packaging and bottles are very classy, perfect for any gathering. Enjoyed ours with a group of friends for a game night we hosted and everyone raved.

Such an awesome product. Elegant, sophisticated, and simple. I love the packaging, it makes the whole experience top notch. Perfect sips for any social gathering from casual parties with a few friends to formal weddings or special events. The flavors are spot on and unique without being overwhelming, definitely something I would keep coming back to.

I experienced a unique blend of flavors and texture with the tandem Tilden Cocktail, reminiscent of ginger, tamarind, mezcal, citric flavors, and something more which I could not depict. I am aware it has not tamarind and specially not mezcal, as it is alcohol free, but I could detect that smokey flavor which makes Mezcal cocktails so special and memorable. On top of it it has a cool designed bottle which gives a nice experience to the sight and touch. I see myself enjoying a frozen Tilden cocktail at a Caribbean beach, as well as at cool bars across the globe.

Tilden is great! I've tasted the majority of alc-free products – and Tilden is genuinly one of my favorites. They are meeting the moment with flavors that are bold, complex and delicious. It's a product I can't wait to see on shelves and behind bars at every city in the country.

Tilden’s drinks have refined, intricate flavors that are also delicious. With such classy packaging, it is also a joy to pull out and share with friends (or to gift)! Big fan.

Amazing! These drinks make me want to do happy dances every time a pour a glass. I love that I can be satisfied with just a small glass, sipping it while socializing, watching tv, or reading a good book!

Although I LOVE both, Tandem is my personal favorite because it isn’t very sweet, making it even better imo for slow sipping. I would recommend to anyone!

Tilden is unlike anything on the market. I enjoy social drinking as well as making myself a cocktail at the end of a long day — but I am not always looking for the headaches and general malaise that come with alcohol, especially now that we have a new baby. Tilden gives you that same feeling of sipping a high-end cocktail without the downsides of alcohol. Couldn’t recommend more for anyone sober-curious or just trying to cut back.

These cocktails are exactly what I've wanted for years. I'm a non-drinker, and I've been dying to see more complex non-alcoholic drink at restaurants, instead of Coke and Sprite. I've tried both flavors, Lacewing and Tandem. They are both great and Tandem is my favorite. Its perfectly smokey and not too sweet. A great end of day, relaxing in the armchair type of drink.

Amazing tasting experience! People are ready for a non-alcoholic beverage experience that's not soda, juice, or water, and this is it!

Unlike anything I’ve really had before. I tend to dislike a lot of mock-alcohol products but this is the best I’ve ever tried.
