It seems counter-intuitive to write about zero proof gin on Buzzed Boomer but there may be occasions when one wants to stay sober, or more sober, while still enjoying a cocktail. Ritual intents to fill that need with their gin, whiskey and tequila substitutes. I mixed up a “gin” and tonic with a little lime juice and, well, I can imagine it’s pretty close to some of the craft gins out there that toss in a bunch of botanicals on top of the juniper. It didn’t taste like the Bombay or Hendricks I prefer but it kept my interest. It was better and more tantalizing than just pure tonic water.
The mocktail served it’s purpose very nicely. It was Saturday night, I wanted a cocktail, but I needed to stay sober. Next, on to the “tequila” and “whiskey”.
