  • Though I'm not sure I'd want to do shots of this, I can say that this would probably be a mixology-friendly alternative to tequila for folks who miss their margaritas when they're off the sauce. Nicely done.

  • The Modern Substitute
  • By Myles Faulkner
  • A smooth, spicy, and complex non-alcoholic tequila experience, with warm notes of oak, pepper, and roasted agave that shine especially bright in cocktails

  • Nose:

    Vegetal. The agave is really strong here, and there is an undercurrent of vanilla, stone fruit and coconut.

  • Taste:

    You're not going to miss the agave here -- loaded with that distinctive profile which carries through from the nose on this. There's a spicy, peppery kick that I can see working really well in a cocktail. Vanilla and oak are well-integrated, I can see this as a riff on Reposado and it's working.

  • Finish:

    That vegetal through line continues, and there's a kick of pepper, which mimics the proofy kick from tequila

  • Overall:

    Though I'm not sure I'd want to do shots of this, I can say that this would probably be a mixology-friendly alternative to tequila for folks who miss their margaritas when they're off the sauce. Nicely done.
