It truly felt like a cocktail experience. Our favorite preparation was an orange ginger “martini” with a salted chili powder rim (made with our favorite ginger shrub from Tait Farms). It smells strongly of oranges, and works well with any citrus juice, ginger, chili flavors, cranberry - this list goes on.
We went with the Citrus Seedlip (Grove 42) and were pleasantly surprised with its lack of sweetness and its versatility. #3 Seedlip Grove 42 ($32): Seedlip is another example of gorgeous packaging from a non-alcoholic spirits brand that looks right at home on your bar cart. Plus, on their website, they tout all of the health benefits of drinking apple cider vinegar, of which there is 1 tablespoon in each can! If you’re a fan of sour beers or Pet Nats, it will be right up your alley. Don’t be fooled though - they definitely taste a bit like vinegar. They offer three flavors: Honey Wildflower, Champagne Lemon Citrus and Orange Blossom Ginger, and all three were delicious. This tart, sour “soda” ended up being the most fulfilling replacement for wine when chilled and poured into a wine glass. #2 Tarta Sweet Balsamic Soda ($8.99 for a 4-pack): This one was a really pleasant surprise.
Ritual also makes a whiskey and gin alternative, and we will definitely be trying both.

We would drink it in place of regular tequila any time – plus it has zero calories! Even Martha Stewart loves it (they have a testimonial from her on the website!). It almost sipped more like mezcal, with a subtle smokiness. The inclusion of green peppers as an ingredient is surprising and definitely adds to the complex flavor profile. When mixed with rosemary and citrus simple syrup, lots of fresh lime juice and a salted rim it was everything we wanted in a margarita. We couldn’t believe we weren’t drinking a cocktail. #1 Ritual Tequila Alternative ($27): The number one spot goes to Ritual Tequila.
