CROSSIP Pure Hibiscus - Non-Alcoholic Spirit 50cl 0% Alcohol - Perfect for Alcohol Free Aperol Spritz and Negronis

We have been looking for non-alcoholic drinks to have during the week since lockdown started and this one is definitely at the top of our list now. We bought it off Amazon and it came 3 days before the promised delivery date (always nice) and was well wrapped in plastic bubble for protection (delivery check!).This flavor is great for stuff like Spritz or Negroni (got recommendation off their website), which is more my partner taste (I prefer the dandy smoke and cocktails like whiskey sour or old fashioned), and they were delicious and easy to make. You pretty much use it as you would use normal alcohol in your cocktail mix, but you still feel fresh the next day. I would highly recommend!

I was keen to try this one as I actually really liked the other Crossip flavour (dandy smoke). This one however doesn't do it for me whatsoever. Really odd flavour. Kind of sweet and bitter and peppery all at the same time. The only pleasure I'll be getting from this bottle is when my wife tried it, came close to regurgitating almost immediately then complained she could still taste it five minutes later and was going to clean her teeth whilst contemplating her life choices.

Whist this is a good alternative to alcohol, it was an acquired taste.

My partner likes a cocktail but does not always want to drink something alcoholic. We have tried various non-alcoholic alterative and 'Pure Hibiscus Non-Alcoholic Spirit' is one of the more interesting. It has an interesting flavour that is not too sweet, and you get a sense of an alcoholic tang by one of the ingredients. It does not have the hit that a vodka based cocktail has, but certainly proves to be refreshing. It works well in lemonade with some ice or tonic water.The bottle is quite expensive, but in keeping with a quality spirit. It does taste like a quality drink and the bottle also reflects this. You don't need a huge amount per drink, and it should last a while. It would work well for a party to give as an option for people not having hard drinks that day/night.

LOVE this. Such a gorgeous complex taste. Slight fiery hint to make it feel grown up. Lovely with a bog squeeze of orange.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this, would it be some sort of gin replacement? I read the Crossip website for suggestions before trying, as I'm more of a simple character as far as drinks go (G&T, Beer, or Wine) I thought I'd try with soda. I was curious enough to take a very small sip of this neat and it nearly blew my head off, subtle this is not! Mixed sparingly with soda obviously softens things but it remains potent and the fizz got right up my nose and made me cough. The best way I can describe the flavour with soda is of a highly potent ginger beer, I guess that's the ginger and cayenne but this completely dominates any other flavours. It's always difficult with flavour as it's highly subjective and I really wanted to enjoy this but I find it far too overpowering even in small measures, I'll keep trying with different things to see if I can get the flavour to work with something but at present I find this pretty unpleasant. £22 also seems very steep considering it's not subject to the tax that alcohol receives.

Annouying that you have to show proof of ID for it to be delivered as it is 0% alcohol!!!! Someone needs to change how this has been set up, it’s a alcohol free cocktail mixer!!! That asside, we made up a few cocktails with this and only 1 out of 3 people wanted to drink it. If you like sweeter tasting drinks then this is not for you, I didn’t mind drinking it but we have nicer tasting options in the cupboard. I won’t re buy this again

I'm really uncertain how to judge Pure Hibiscus Non-Alcoholic Spirit ! ! !I enjoy a wide variety of drinks from vegetable juice to a good malt whisky.I've tried Pure Hibiscus with tonic and ice and I put more into the drink in the picture. It didn't WOW me !!!I drink three times a week and that's a couple on bottles of beer or an equivalent.Having tried Pure Hibiscus I must say I was underwhelmed by it. That isn't to say you won't love it.Personally I can't see the point of a non alcoholic drink additive costing £22.00 but if you are a non alcohol drinker then this might well float your boat. At £22 per bottle and nothing going to HMRC that seems like a lot of profit for CROSSIP ~ as you can get a tasty gin from Amazon for that price including paying for the UKs nuclear task force with the duty!!This Pure Hibiscus additive is in a niche market and I think that I am not in that club.I've be a good reviewer and keep on testing until the bottle is empty ~ updating the review if my POV changes.
