Pentire Adrift

It took me a few tries, but I have decided that I really like this stuff! It is an unusual flavor on its own, but with tonic it provides a wonderful herbal, minerally flavor that results in a great drink. Does not taste like gin, but does taste like a fascinating botanical mocktail that isn't sweet or chemical-tasting. You need to approach it as its own thing, not as a fake-gin.

This seriously smells and tastes like you are drinking Pinesol. No matter what I did; change the ratio to tonic water, add limes, lemons, etc., it was just not drinkable. Even the smell of it grossed me out. The herbal taste is incredibly overwhelming. Down the drain!

Pentire's Adrift has a unique sophisticated flavor, and I imagine the Cornish coastline and wild herbs on the hillsides while enjoying it. I like it best straight over ice with a squeeze of lemon and a sprig of rosemary. I offered a taste to a sister, and she likes it, too. Based on my satisfaction with the taste of Adrift, and its other qualities, like no additives, especially dangerous ones, I have ordered one of their other flavors to try it out. I will become a repeat customer and buy this as a gift to give to those who may appreciate and enjoy the flavor.

I do appreciate that this beverage is sugar free but what is in the “natural flavors”? This is packaged nicely but disappointing on flavor. It just doesnt have enough spunk for me to reorder it. I hope they improve the flavor….need more bitters. I suppose its a Good gift for someone who doesnt drink and has everything…and doesnt consume sugar. We added orange twist.

this stuff is amazing if you prefer botanical gins. on the other hand, like many of the new entries in non-alcoholic substitutes, it’s rapaciously over-priced.

well. I really wanted to like/tolerate it. And I rarely leave bad reviews. I was going to just let Pentire know but no contact info for them. Opened the bottle and it smelled like you should clean your shoes or lubricate something with it. Put some in a 1/2 drunk good real martini, thinking that might help - no. Undrinkable. Some review said "directly into the drain" Sadly they are right. OTOH - it comes in a lovely clear sturdy bottle that will be nice with some little sparkle, battery wine glass lights!!! Not bad for $40!!!!

very thin taste with lingering pine aftertaste. I wish I liked it more.

As I age, I'm trying to drink less. I have successfully cut out beer and wine (without replacing them with a 0% alternative), but struggled to let go of gin, which has always been my favorite drink. In the past year or two, I've tried several non alcoholic alternatives for gin. This one is my favorite so far. It mixes well with my favorite tonic and I don't miss the gin, even though it doesn't taste the same.
