These are tequila-style bottles at or below 0.5% ABV. They are not the same kind of drink.

Spiritless Jalisco 55 scored 82. Spiritless infuses American oak in high-proof neutral grain spirit, removes the ethanol by reverse distillation, then adds agave nectar. It is a reposado-style analog, not dealcoholized Mexican reposado. Cooked agave, oak, and vanilla carry the glass. It is on Best nonalcoholic spirits, which starts at 80.

Ritual Zero Proof Tequila Alternative scored 78. Ritual formulates it from botanicals and natural flavors, including agave and lime. No tequila is dealcoholized to make it. The review treats it as a margarita ingredient, not a sipping spirit. It stays off the Best list.
