Sentia Spirits Gaba Red, Botanical Alcohol Free Drinks, Natural Plant taste, Berries taste, Vegan, Gluten Free and GM Free, 50cl - Sentia Drink Perfect for Mocktails, mix with tonic or soda

I was offered this at a friend’s house as I was on prescription pain med and couldn’t mix with alcohol. Really loved it! If you like Campari, you’ll like this. I had it mixed with lime soda and a slice of orange. Definitely felt relaxed and didn’t miss the alcohol. Also, it tastes like a ‘grown-up’ drink which is what I miss when drinking non alcohol/squash in a social setting usually. Liked it so much I bought some and a selection of nice flavoured soda’s to go with it. Recommend.

Why does this product smell like Lavender incense? I wouldn't eat that so everytime I took a sip, I felt uncomfortable. I'm not sure I'll finish the bottle.It's not bad but in terms of taste, smell and texture it's not the alcohol substitute that it's made out to be. Most alcohol - from wine to spirits are easy to drink and feel like you're drinking water. The word that applies here is smooth.Sentia Red is more juice than wine and not the refined taste of juice sold in a supermarket but rather the taste of vegetables which have been run through a juicer in your kitchen. The consistency is thick. It takes some getting used to as well. Have you ever sat down to have a drink and needed time to get used to it? Lol. The reason why alcohol is so addictive is because it takes no effort to put the stuff away. If something that's meant to give pleasure requires effort or thought - the pleasure you get from doing it is diminished.As an alcohol substitute, the concept is really good, hats off to the manufacturer, we could use more products like this on the market but the smell of lavender incense, everytime you take a sip is off putting. Alcohol will kill you in the long run but this drink is an unknown quantity, it feels like it could kill you sooner and the buzz is minimal.For £32 a bottle, this could be alot better.

Taste nice with tonic but not had any effect as stated by others.

I was presently surprised. I felt nice and mellow after a couple of glasses.It has a unique berry taste and is fairly sweet, so I mixed it with tonic water and Ice, which totally transformed the taste. I enjoyed it.After a couple of glasses, I definitely felt happy and content without all mayhem you get with alcohol drinks.I'm extremely happy and have found my go to alcohol free drink. I will try the other flavours next.

1. A case of style over substance. You need a large measure at least if you want to "feel" anything. Even then the "feel" is quite non descript. I'm not saying I didn't feel a bit relaxed - I did - but it was definitely only a bit, nothing more, from a double measure2. The taste is ... slightly bitter....and surely they could have made it actually taste good3. It's too expensive to buy regularly even if you like it, but I guess the brand is relying on people thinking, *oh this sounds different, I'll give it a go " as I'm curious how many people re-buy it

It actually creates a relaxing feeling.After a stressful day it helps you unwind and easily forget any negativity.Definitely need the maximum recommended daily amountNo good for alcohol drinkers as it’s subtle, not like getting drunk.It’s an acquired flavour. Reminds me of mulled wine .

I really like the taste, quite particular but it does a job. Recommend.

I'll start by saying we are all different so my experience with this drink might not be yours.Taste - hard to explain as I've not tasted anything like it before, sort of medicinal, botanical, quite rich, I mixed it with lemonade, I quite liked the taste, had a depth to it.Mimic alcohol - I felt no affects at all with it, it definately didn't mimic the effects of alcohol, not at all, did it relax me? The first time I tried it I thought it did but I think I wanted it to relax me, subsequent times it had no effect at all on me, no warm fuzzy alcohol feeling, didn't effect my mood or my brain.Overall - I wouldn't have it again, if it was a lot cheaper and I mean a lot cheaper, I would buy it as I quite liked the taste but for what it promises - to mimic the effects of alcohol - I would not buy this again.
