Hey everyone! I've created a new review video for 2023! Non Alcoholic / Zero Proof Spirit Review 2023: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aGt-k7iBXbLdhbg.html Non Alcoholic Beer Review: kzread.info/dash/bejne/a394mKyNp7u2oso.html Non Alcoholic Sparkling Wine Review: kzread.info/dash/bejne/p5-npdFmoMepkqw.html Non Alcoholic White Wine Review: kzread.info/dash/bejne/emmowbtvZ5a3naw.html Non Alcoholic Red Wine Review: kzread.info/dash/bejne/c6Ob085pgK2dgLA.html

As a college student who gave up drinking, I love this kind of product! It brings me joy to put intension into my mock tails instead of just settling for a pop or water at a party. I also love being able to put attractive bottles on my bar cart and the way being "over the influence" can look very sexy instead of suspicious!!

Love this! You should check out my latest review video. Some really beautiful (and of course delicious) bottles for your non alcoholic bar. Wilfred’s bittersweet aperitif has a particularly pretty bottle.

Impressive selection of zero-proof spirits! My guests always appreciate a well made non-alcoholic drink that isn't just sugar.

Thanks for the review! Of the spirits you went through, I've had the Monday gin (a bit too bitter for me, but then again I didn't really give it a try in anything besides just adding Fever Tree tonic so I'm willing to give it another go). I've also had both the Ritual and Spiritless whiskeys, I'm looking at the dregs of my Spiritless bottle now. The Ritual does taste like raisins and leather to me, I liked the Spiritless better. My FAVORITE NA spirit so far has been Aplos - it is SO good and gives me a nice chill buzz. I have my 3rd bottle of it (4th?) on the way to me now along with some Gnista Barrel Oak, which I'm super excited about! I ordered both from Boisson (my partner knows the owner), they have been SUPER helpful in my NA journey. It's so hard, actually impossible to find NA spirits here in Nairobi, but there are a lot of bars that do mocktails. I bet if an NA bottle shop opened here they could clean up nicely! Well sorry didn't mean to write a novel but I am definitely subscribing to your channel and your website!!! Looking forward to more NA reviews (and that red lentil curry recipe, eh?)

This is a great style of video, if you have any plans to do a similar thing for different styles of spirits, liqueurs, fortified wines or whatever I’d definitely be interested in hearing your comments, particularly if it’s on something many of us would be unfamiliar with such as these.

As someone who enjoys full alcohol spirits and beer very moderately on weekends and more heavy on special occasions I find a low abv spirit is much more enjoyable than n/a. So say an n/a beer is .5 and most full abv beers are on average 5% I'd say that for a spirit of 40-50% I like to make my own, I add enough vodka, you can use everclear in the US but please use less and use a calculator and don't change if if you are sober or abstinent, but I like to make my low abv spirit a very precise 5% abv so there's a bit of alcohol and body, mainly body. It will not emulate a burn on the way down and or a tingle on the tongue but you can use crushed peppercorn and chilli for that. Something I'd really love to play with more for sure. I absolutely love making a whisky sour or old fashion on my weeknights but only have a "microdose" of alcohol in each drink.It's quite good. If you drink on occasion I reccomend it. I should add, I didn't clear this up but I would buy a 6-ct of each style, lyres london dry sprit, seedlip etc and pour all 4,2lt into my 7,2lt stockpot. Cleaned and sanitised, cause there is no room for error on this one. There isn't enough abv to rid of any bacteria's. But if my calculations are correct i'd add 7.5ml per litre of 100% abv spirit. I'll let you calculate that depending on the abv of the vodka you chose and that'll get very close to 5% just devide, multiply and subtract etc etc etc.

MEAGHAN!!!! This is seriously the first time we did see you in front of the camera! I do remember your Dry January last year and I kind of forgot again that that’s a thing lol. I’ve got to take a 2nd glance at what we have in queue now 🤣😂

I had to make a few tweaks to the recipe & video. Should be ready to post soon! In the meantime, I have the recipe on my website theweepearl.com

Thank you for an awesome and in depth video. Excited to try some of them. I tried the Ritual zero alcohol Tequila at an event and to me it tastes nothing like tequila and only like intensely burning green pepper and cayenne with a side of smoke. Left me coughing and with my throat painfully burning for 20 minutes. And that was mixed with about 1/3 Ritual tequila and 2/3 margarita mix. Gave it to my boyfriend and a few friends and they also thought it tasted nothing like tequila and more like just adding straight up hot sauce to a drink. Nothing like the clean, smooth flavor of for example silver Patron or any good tequila blanco. I'm 18 weeks pregnant and missing the taste of tequila. Also, as pregnant women are part of their target audience and it's widely known that spicy food creates intense heartburn for pregnant women, why oh why would they make it so spicy instead of keeping it smooth and clean so pregnant women can drink it? Seems like a very strange flavor choice that kind of defies the whole purpose of a drink marketed to pregnant women.

@TheWeePearl

Жыл бұрын

I’m so sorry you had a bad experience with their tequila. I really enjoy spicy food and drinks, so I guess that part didn’t bother me. I noticed that all of their spirits contain capsaicin, which is meant to mimic the burn of alcohol, so you will probably want to avoid other ritual products. I hope you find one that you love! I know all too well about missing the taste of cocktails while pregnant. The struggle is real!

@TheWeePearl

Жыл бұрын

Hello! You might try making the cherries using a whiskey alternative. Spiritless has a cinnamon flavored non alcoholic spirit that you can steep the cherries in. As for the peach schnapps, you might want to try to create it yourself by clarifying peach juice and “seasoning” it with simple syrup and a mix of malic and tartaric acid. I’ve made a zero proof triple sec in a similar way. I’d recommend to watch that video for reference. Great ideas though! I’d love to hear how they turn out!

My way of doing it is to buy my favorite full alcohol whiskey (Johnny Walker Platinum) put it in a cooking pot, take it outside in the middle of a parking lot, make sure you have a lid and a fire extinguisher, then set that sob ablaze. Just let it go until it burns itself out. After that you have a zero alcohol whiskey that tastes better if anything.

3 spirit. I like the flavor more.

I'm looking for an NA super bitter, super funky, super vegetal botanical herbal liqueur situation. Do you have any recommendations since the filming of this video? Think Chartreuse, Cynar, Fernet, Genepy, etc....

Checkout the pathfinder. Otherwise I haven’t found anything else in that herbal category. Vera makes an herbal aperitivo that somewhat fits the bill. I’m reviewing it for my next video.

I've just discovered your channel and truly appreciate this video! Really looking forward to trying a few of these. With the holidays approaching, where can I find your Coquito recipe?

Thanks for this video! I really love the idea of mixing without alcohol. However, I recently bought my first zero proof spirit (the ritual gin) and have found it pretty nasty, tasting quite chemical and reminding me of vinegar. It still turned me off in cocktails, though that was a little better. Is it worth trying more of these spirits?

More specifically, does anyone know what production style the Ritual Gin is made with, so I can avoid it? I feel like it's something in the base flavor, not the botanicals, which bothers me.

Hey Gabriel! Thanks for watching 😊. I believe ritual is made by blending essences with water and citric acid (which is that off putting taste you described). I certainly don’t advise drinking these straight. They really do need to be mixed. Even the best of them require a mixer of some kind. I agree that Ritual Gin is probably the weakest in their line. I really enjoy their rum and tequila! I think Monday gin is the best one I’ve tried to date. It meets more of those classic gin notes than most. Some people find it to be bitter, but it works really nice in a gimlet- though I would scale back a bit on the line cordial. Without the bite from alcohol, n/a drinks tend to taste sweeter.

Hi! I actually did make a video on it. Check it out. How I Made Campari From Scratch Recipe (Non-Alcoholic Version) kzread.info/dash/bejne/pH-is7CterGaaZM.html

I've not really delved into zero proof alternatives, as I had one that was just awful and wrote them all off, but the reverse distillation of the Kentucky 74 sounds interesting. I wonder if you took an aged spirit and reverse distilled it, would you be able to get a "truer" taste rather than relying on botanicals to mimic the taste...

@TheWeePearl

2 жыл бұрын

That’s an interesting idea. I believe the spirit that they make before reverse distilling is extremely tannic with exaggerated whiskey notes. An aged spirit might be too mellow to extract flavors from, though if they can do it for wine, why not whiskey?!

Some of them do need to be refrigerated, but many don’t and last up to 6 months after opening

I like near beer but I've not had fake booze. I don't like fake flavours like Palm Bay.
