Ghia Le Fizz
The Le Fizz was similar to a sparkling Lambrusco wine but with flavors of blackcurrant, cooked strawberries, and smoky lapsang souchong tea. It was a favorite for sipping during dinner parties or pouring on holidays.:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/st-agrestis-phony-negroni-270536e23d514e4b846e8c60790f12c5.jpg)
St. Agrestis Phony Negroni
The Phony Negroni was undeniably the closest experience to a traditional cocktail. It was citrus-forward, sweet, and boldly bitter with a touch of bubbles—an absolute must-try for sober Negroni lovers.:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/ghia-lime--salt-le-spritz-d05f75d0d2f844b2a70a0ff1ef4a9c93.jpg)
Ghia Lime & Salt Le Spritz
Look up “crushable” in the dictionary, and there will be a picture of this spritz. It had all the lovely fruit and botanical flavors from the Ghia Original apéritif, plus an extra dose of citrus. Of all the prepared drinks in the lineup, I was most excited to have a can of the Lime & Salt Le Spritz waiting in the fridge after a long day.:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/ghia-non-alcoholic-apritif-b0a807b323064f5a8f34a6656252b005.jpg)
Ghia Nonalcoholic Apéritif
What we liked: Unlike many zero-proof alternatives, Ghia wasn’t trying to replicate an existing alcoholic drink or relying on trendy adaptogens to make a statement with its Original apéritif—it just tasted great. Despite its blend of fruit juices and concentrates (which produces a punch-red color), it wasn’t overly sweet. I noted that it was “surprisingly herbal” at first taste, with discernable ginger, rosemary, and citrus flavors. Gentian root extract lends bitterness and a pleasantly delicate anise note. I liked sipping Ghia in a simple spritz with sparkling water or ginger beer, but it was even lovelier with a squeeze of fresh lemon or lime juice. It was ideal for recreating a cocktail bar vibe—no booze needed.:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/wilfreds-non-alcoholic-bittersweet-aperitif-90c83f382c8346b4a0736fee39cc6585.jpg)
Wilfred's Non-Alcoholic Bittersweet Aperitif
What we liked: Wilfred’s was an unbeatable alcohol-free option for Italian-style spritzes. Undertones of clove and gentian root helped ground its bright, citrus-heavy sweetness, while a distinct throughline of rosemary made it feel alluringly mature. It would be a welcome addition to holidays and parties, but I particularly relished it as a late-afternoon refreshment. Wilfred’s felt familiar (similar to Aperol) and was one of the least pricey bottles of the lineup, making it a good entry point for sober-curious drinkers.:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/three-spirit-the-livener-271055ad64ce47429192aa5bca9be9d8.jpg)
Three Spirit The Livener
The Three Spirit Livener was the life of the party. Its flavor profile was sweet, tart, and spicy with watermelon, hibiscus, ginger, and cayenne. It also had guayusa leaf extract (from a type of Amazonian holly tree), which added an energizing dose of caffeine to each serving.Ghia Le Fizz
