Okay look...this is about 0.5% ABV, virtually the alcohol level of a ripe banana. So, let’s face it...you’re not going to sip this neat hoping to substitute for your Talisker or Springbank. But what it does do well is a weak impression of whiskey in a cocktail.
I have just about one whiskey at 3cl pour /week, rest of the nights it’s just kombucha or matcha green tea. I did try Seedlip once, and that was a miserable failure——probably the world’s most expensive bottled water. But I decided to give another shot to a 0% alcohol alternative again...this time a whiskey alternative. ( seedlip is more a gin alternative ). I took 3 oz of this with 1/4 oz vermouth, squeeze from 1/2 orange, a few drops of angostura bitters, ice and shook it all up. Honestly...not bad. It works much better in cocktails than Seedlip, a especially considering this is a whiskey alternative.
Would I have this again...? Yeah. When I’m bored of my Trader Joe’s kombucha, or matcha green tea, this will make a good deviation from the norm. This won’t substitute my Friday or Saturday eve whiskey dram, but it’s not meant to.
