Tasting notes

  1. 01

    Nose

    Agave sweetness with a bright lime lift and a faint jalapeño warmth.

  2. 02

    Palate

    Agave-forward with a citrusy heat — the tequila silhouette drawn in botanicals rather than ethanol.

  3. 03

    Finish

    Clean and warming, the spice trailing without alcohol burn.

The spirit

Ritual Zero Proof Tequila Alternative is formulated as an alcohol alternative from United States. The base is Botanical formulation with agave, lime, and other natural flavors; no underlying tequila. Ritual Zero Proof spirits are formulated from botanicals and natural flavors — not made by removing alcohol from a once-alcoholic spirit.
