is non-alcoholic alcohol any fun at all
let's talk about that
[Music]
good mythical morning you know how some
people put vodka
in an orange juice so they can have
their vitamin c and
an excuse to take a nap before noon well
what if i told you that they make a
vodka without the part that makes you
sleepy
you talking about four loco because that
is not a road you want to go down trust
no i'm just talking about non-alcoholic
liquor man
forget forget everything i mean it's
staggering to see
how many alcoholic non-alcoholic
beverages
or maybe i should call them
non-alcoholic alcoholic beverages that's
it
are out there yeah i mean it turns out
lots of people want to live that healthy
life and that party life at the same
time but personally i do not get the
buzz
was that intentional yes
i don't get it either but maybe we will
by the end of this episode it's time for
it
non-alcoholic liquor is a thing that
exists but does it taste good or is the
lack of booze a miss
please welcome back the helmet flavor
taster aka the hft 2021
oh yes the mythical crew has tracked
down some of the most popular
and best-selling non-alcoholic liquors
meant to
emulate whoa wow i've never done that
before
emulate it do it do it it opportune
times
not when i'm explaining the rules okay
so these are supposed to emulate the
taste
of certain alcoholic counterparts
now we're going to be served these
booze-free boozes through these
booze-free booze tubes and then we're
going to try and guess what kind of
alcohol they're supposed to take
you try man it's pretty fun all right
after the answer is revealed
like a trumpet oh i know you only did it
for close couple of weeks
you might need to oh four years was
stolen
oh it's coming it i didn't you didn't
tell me that the
that it was coming out in my mouthpiece
we're also gonna rank how much we like
these things and to really make it
an an actual assessment we're going to
be served a mocktail
yeah with it in in proper context
i'm better at this than talking points
will escalate each round and the loser
will get
mocked while drinking a mocktail and
good mythical more
[Music]
chase are you ready to pour oh yeah well
as you can see we can't
so we're ready okay
okay um you're on a leashing right
i got uh
what is going on here trying to get
liquids i got to get low
do you have liquids man i got i got i've
got enough liquid
almost came out of my nose i think it's
freaking it's spicy
dang it's hot it's cold but it's hot
at the same time i mean it's just like
literally spicy i'm ready to guess
three two one fireball
with a 94 point rating from the beverage
testing institute this product from
ritual zero proof brand oh yeah right
you can take off your uh
your blindfold ranks the highest in the
world when it comes to non-alcoholic
spirits
made with filtered water cane sugar
citric
acid and salt this alternative has an
agave aroma with hints of guava and
peppercorn and is meant to be
a tequila alternative
well neither of us said tequila it
literally was spicy like
it leaves like a spicy residue in your
mouth
zero proof we'll see what it tastes like
in these
uh mocktail margaritas i guess
fireball is the only spicy thing i
thought of well you know what i think
but that's that's not even a valid guess
they add something to it to make it
spicy to emulate the
the kick of alcohol without there being
alcohol
i mean this is a lot better than just a
straight up nasty
i mean this stuff on its own is just
like um
yeah it's like it's like spicy water
which is what my kids called
sparkling water for the longest time but
spicy water huh uh this
this is much better i mean you put
that's the number one slot uh i'm i'm
i'm good with putting it over there yeah
i mean again
by itself not great in the context of
this fake
drink okay number one whatever
[Music]
all right chase release the hounds
okay that's a little gradual one
ah that tastes like mmm
some kind of kool-aid ah
tastes like bad medicine i'm having to
work so hard to just get any to go in my
mouth
talk about deaf leopard up in here uh
what was that bon jovi what in the world
it tastes like maple syrup
yeah it's like there's a sweetness that
you would add to like a cough syrup is
this
is this cough scissor
this is like non-alcoholic cough syrup
okay that's my
guess okay let's go for a real guess in
three
two one bourbon i don't know
okay you can take off your masks this
liquor alternative is from a company
called
ronson and its ingredients include apple
juice and oak and coffee flavoring to
give it a woody molasses taste
apparently woody molasses is what you
need in a non-alcoholic
rum rum ah rum was gonna be another
guess in there
but it wasn't the guess okay and these
are rum and cokes it tastes
nothing like rum no it doesn't at all
that's coming from a man who i hate rums
got drunk in a bathtub one time
yeah let me tell you if you drink
nothing but rum in a bathtub once
then you pretty much never drink rum
again i wasn't take a bath i wasn't
there i just i've heard the story
i mean that's not a bad drink i'm like
ooh what'd you do to my coke um
i don't like this i like to drink the
tequila better as good as that
first one because the first one at least
had like some fruitiness to it
so this ranking is intact
[Music]
hey chase you know what goes really good
with non-alcoholic alcoholic beverages
i don't coloring like like coloring a
coloring book
yeah for adults and for everyone for
everyone that like features
heck even features you man you're in it
sounds good to me it's a mythical
coloring book available at mythical.com
get yours today yeah i have one oh
well oh i was kind of now i was talking
to the people have you colored yourself
chase i have that's awkward
poor buddy no i was saying oh that's
poor
[Music]
that tastes like you just tapped into a
pine tree that had died
you know like ah a pine tree that's got
like a beetle infection
oh my gosh if you drink so much of this
that you vomited and i guess you
wouldn't because it's non-alcoholic
it would clean your toilet yeah yeah you
know it's got it
is this a toilet cleaner it has an ajax
sort of uh
oh my god flair to it this is absolutely
i'm sure this is not ajax
horrible all right i've got to guess
when i breathe out
horrible okay horrible three
two one jean that's definitely
yeah you guys got it right that's the
first one genie
that was like definitely they've done
something that
you know when you just drink gem by
itself it's not necessarily good either
this is zero alcohol gin that's a thing
zero proof gluten free
zero sugar paleo and keto approved
from drink monday so what's this a tonic
and gin
yes with a little rosemary sprig
you know stevia and cassie i don't know
if they got you this but uh
for for for christmas they gave our
family some cider and they uh what
yeah they gave our family some cider
they gave you a gift yeah
cider and uh and it and it had rosemary
sprigs that came with it
and i put those rosemary sprigs every
which away in that drink and other
places
what does that mean i'm just saying
i really love rosemary why you
sit up you look shorter than me why are
you why
why are you like i'm just being relaxed
man don't be so relaxed it's not
alcoholic
um you got to you got to stay spry
that's the point that is actually
the worst of all the things we've tasted
so far and yeah gin and tonic is
actually
a drink that i order but that tastes
horrible
even with a rosemary sprig in it enjoy
within six months
that is going to be a challenge
[Laughter]
[Music]
all right chase give us your liquid
offerings here they come
oh oh gosh
good luck it does have a like a vanilla
edge to it um it's like that was
actually not as bad
like a flat cream soda flat cream soda
what is it what would that be i gotta
guess i just don't know liquors man
three two one whiskey cream soda
i have no yeah it so it's bourbon with
hints of vanilla and toasted nuts this
non-alcoholic liquor
claims to be not just an imitation but a
new creation in its own right
i really like the name of this um brand
because it's pronounced
liars so it's like they're lying about
the
you know yeah that's smart real i
actually was a pretty
like it hit in the way that whiskey
typically hits
which is never like i love it as soon as
it hits my mouth
uh it's like the second time it was like
oh it the edge kind of came off of it a
little bit let's try that
these are old-fashioned old-fashioned
i can stand in old fashion um
i think that this one for me because i'm
an old-fashioned fan
and if you handed me that at a party i
would be like i don't think that
bartender really knows how to make an
old-fashioned but i'm not going to
keep thinking about it it's just like
very watered down i'd put it
i'm putting this at number one i would
if you're looking at the
at the mixed drink like the mocktail
maybe the tequila one was better i think
that the tequila one was
at least a tasty experience but it feels
like something's still wrong
if you were gonna do something on your
uh if you're gonna just sip it on your
own though
because you can sip this again i don't
know why you would
don't as a matter of fact
[Music]
let it flow
i got nothing nothing was coming out for
the first five seconds
ah oh gosh what
it this one at least has a hint of
seeming like you're drinking alcohol
and i think as with the first tequila
there is a spiciness right there is but
now that we've manufactured spice
but now that we've gone through it at
least you have this sensation of like
i'm drinking something that's alcoholic
you actually have a little bit of that
experience
so now that i know that yeah it's not
spicy
it's spicy to emulate alcohol um so
alcohol with a bite but the taste
it's very light um
i mean i gotta guess it's fresh i don't
feel confident in it but i do have a
guess
okay three two one vodka
yeah you're both right okay we're both
right so it's from it's a best-selling
product from a brand called
rk it contains natural flavorings
blended with spring
water from an underground source in
mexico's countryside
oh underground source huh
moscow mule mocktails you want to grab
it right here
i get a lot of my things from an
underground source
here's your mule in life oh i like a
moscow mule
do i i don't know whoa
now because a moscow mule is so ginger
what is it gingerbread ginger beer
ginger beer forward
uh it tastes this tastes almost
identical
to what you would get in a real moscow
mule so
i i think this is this is pushing
towards number one but let's try the
let's try what's currently at number one
let's try this tequila mocktail
whoopsie
yeah yeah it's it's it's got that
watered down
too much ice has melted in it type of a
situation you know what
i i think i'm on team put the vibe at
number one
because yeah it's the least it's you
know what monica's also the alcohol
that's trying to do the least
so as you look at these i think the one
thing we've learned because we agree is
that like you got some really good
looking bottles you got people jumping
on trends but
as good as some of these look on the
outside
very few of them are delivering on the
inside and i feel like this is less
that this is a genuinely better product
than all the rest of them
it's just that vodka is easier to
represent with something that's fake
than these other things do you believe
that that's true in my soul of souls
