- Is non-alcoholic alcohol any fun at all? - Let's talk about that. (cheerful music) Good Mythical Morning. - You know how some people put
vodka in their orange juice so they can have their vitamin C and an excuse to take a nap before noon? - Ah. - Well, what if I told you that they make a vodka without the part that makes you sleepy? - You talking about Four Loko? Because that is not a road
you wanna go down, trust me. - No, I'm just talking about
non-alcoholic liquor, man. - Okay, forget I ever said anything. - I mean, it's staggering
to see how many alcoholic non-alcoholic beverages,
or maybe I should call 'em non-alcoholic alcoholic beverages, are out there.
- That's it. - I mean, turns out lots of people wanna 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 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. - Whoa, yes, the Mythical
Crew has tracked down some of the most popular and best-selling non-alcoholic liquors, meant to emulate, oh, wow.
(Link trumpets into tube) - Never done that before. - Emulate, do it at 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 gonna be served
these booze-free boozes through these booze-free booze tubes, and then we're gonna try and guess what kind of alcohol they're
supposed to taste like. - You try, man, it's pretty fun. All right, after the answer is revealed... Like a trumpet. I know you only did it
for a couple of weeks, before yours was stolen. Oh, it's coming, you didn't tell me that it was coming out of my mouthpiece. (both blow non-musically into tubes) We're also gonna rank how
much we like these things, and to really make it
an actual assessment, we're gonna be served a mocktail with it in proper context. - Oh, gosh. - I'm better at this than talking. - Points will escalate each round, and the loser will get mocked while drinking a mocktail
in Good Mythical More. - [Link] Chase, are you ready to pour? - Oh, yeah. - Well, as you can see,
we can't, so we're ready. - [Chase] Okay. - You unleashing, Rhett? I got, eh! What is going on, here? - I'm trying to get
liquids. I gotta get low. - Do you have liquids, man? I've got enough liquid. Almost came out of my nose,
dang, it's freaking... - Spicy. - Dang, it's hot. It's cold
but it's hot, at the same time. - I mean it's just like,
it's literally spicy. - I'm ready to guess. - [Stevie] Three, two, one. - Fireball!
- Vodka? - [Stevie] With a 94 point rating from the Beverage Testing Institute, this product from Ritual Zero Proof brand, oh yeah, Rhett, you can
take off 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 a spicy
residue in your mouth. - Zero proof. - [Stevie] Well, see what it tastes like in these mocktail margaritas, see if it tastes like- - Fireball is the only
spicy thing I thought of, but that's not even a valid guess, 'cause- - They add something
to it to make it spicy to emulate the kick of
alcohol without 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 a... Yeah, it's like spicy water. Which is what my kids
called sparkling water for the longest time, but... - Spicy water, huh? - This is much better. I mean you can put, that's
the number one slot, 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. All right, Chase, release the hounds. - Okay, that's a little gradual. - Oh. That tastes like...
some kind of Kool Aid. - Ugh. Tastes like bad medicine. - I'm having to work so hard to just get any to go in my mouth. - Talk about Def Leppard up in here. Or 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 cough syzurp? It's like non-alcoholic cough syrup. That's my guess. - [Stevie] Okay, let's go for
real guess in three, two, one. - Bourbon?
- DayQuil. I don't know.
- DayQuil. - [Stevie] Okay, you
can take off your masks. This liquor alternative is
from a company called RONSIN, 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? Aw, rum was gonna be
another guess in there, but it wasn't the guess. Okay. - [Stevie] And these are rum and Cokes. - It tastes nothing like rum. - No, it doesn't. At all. - And that's coming from a man who got drunk in a bathtub one time. - Yeah, lemme tell ya, if you drink nothing but
rum in a bathtub once, then you pretty much
never drink rum again. Or take a bath. - I wasn't there, I just,
I've heard the story. I mean it's not a bad drink. - I'm like "Ew, what'd you do to my Coke?" I don't like this drink
as good as that first one, 'cause the first one at least
had some fruitiness to it. So, this ranking is intact. Hey, Chase, you know what goes really good with non-alcoholic alcoholic beverages? - I don't. - Coloring. Like coloring a coloring book. - Yeah, for adults. And for everyone. - For everyone, that features, heck, it even features you, man. - [Rhett] You're in it. - Sounds good to me. - It's the Mythical Coloring Book, available at Mythical.com. Get yours today. - I have one. - Oh, well I was talking
to the people watching. - Have you colored yourself, Chase? - [Chase] I have. - That's awkward. Pour, buddy. No, I was saying, "Oh, that's poor." - Ah! - Ooh! - That tastes like you just
tapped into a pine tree that had died. You know, like a pine tree
that's got a beetle infection. - Oh my gosh! If you drank so much of
this that you vomited, and I guess you wouldn't
because it's non-alcoholic, it would clean your toilet. - Yeah, it has an Ajax
sort of a flare to it. - This is absolutely horrible. - All right, I've got a guess. - When I breathe out, horrible! Horrible. - [Stevie] Three, two, one. - [Both] Gin! - That's definitely gin. - [Stevie] Yeah, you guys
both got it right, so. - That's the first one
that was like definitely, they've done something that, when you just drink gin by itself, it's not necessarily good either. - Zero alcohol gin,
that's a pretty bottle! - [Stevie] Zero proof,
gluten free, zero sugar, paleo, and keto-approved,
from Drink Monday. - [Link] So what's this, a tonic and gin? - [Stevie] Yes, gin and tonic. - With a little rosemary sprig? - Sprig it! - You know, Stevie and Cassie, I don't know if they got you this, but for Christmas, they
gave our family some cider. - What? - Yeah, they gave our family some cider. - They gave you a gift?
- Yes, cider. And it had rosemary
sprigs that came with it. And I put those rosemary sprigs every which way in that
drink and other places. - [Stevie] What does that mean? - I'm just saying, I really love rosemary. - Why are you, sit up,
you look shorter than me. Why you like-? - I'm just being relaxed, man. - Don't be so relaxed, it's non-alcoholic. You gotta stay spry, that's the point. - That is actually the worst of all the
things we've tasted so far. And 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 gonna be a challenge. (crew laughs) - [Rhett] All right, Chase,
give us your liquid offerings. - Here they come. - Oh. Oh, gosh! Good lord. - Eh, it does have like
a vanilla edge to it. - That one's actually not as bad. - Like a flat cream soda. - Flat cream soda. - What would that be? - I got a guess. - I just don't know liquors, man! - [Stevie] Three, two, one. - Whiskey.
- Cream soda. I have no- - [Stevie] 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 brand, 'cause it's pronounced "liars," so it's like they're lying about the, you know, it being real. - I actually was a pretty, like, it hit in the way that
whiskey typically hits, which is never like "Mm, I love it as soon
as it hits my mouth." It's like the second time it was like "Oh," the edge kinda came
off of it a little bit. Let's try that drink. - [Stevie] And these are old-fashioneds. - Old-fashioned. I can
stand an old-fashioned. - I think that this one for me, because I'm an old-fashioned fan, 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 gonna keep thinking about it." - It's just like very
watered-down, tepid... - I'm putting this at number one. - If you're looking 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 this feels like
something's still wrong. - If you were gonna just
sip it on your own, though, you could sip this. Again, I don't know why you would. Don't, as a matter of fact. - [Link] Hm, let it flow. (Chase laughs) I got nothing. - Yeah, nothing was coming out
for the first five seconds. - Ugh. Oh, gosh. What...? - 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, it's a manufactured spice. - But now that we've gone through it, at least you have the 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. So alcohol with a bite. - But the taste, it's very light. It's fresh.
- I mean, I got a guess. I don't feel confident in
it, but I do have a guess. - [Stevie] Three, two, one. - [Both] Vodka. - [Stevie] Yeah, you're both right. - Okay, we're both right. - [Stevie] So it's a bestselling product from a brand called Arkay, it contains natural flavorings
blended with spring water from an underground source
in Mexico's countryside. - Oh, underground source, huh? - In Mexico's countryside.
- [Stevie] And these are Moscow mule mocktails. - You wanna 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, ginger beer?
- [Stevie] Yeah, ginger beer. - Ginger beer-forward, this
tastes almost identical to what you would get
in a real Moscow mule. - So, I think this is
pushing towards number one, but let's try what's
currently at number one, let's try this tequila mocktail, oopsie. Eh. Yeah, it's got that watered down, too much ice has melted
in it type of a situation. - You know what? I think I'm on team put
the vodka at number one. Because it's the least, you know what? Vodka'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 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 'em, 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, I believe, Rhett. - All right, so, the award-winning, and by award I mean Good

I really liked this episode! The boys have been on fire lately with their antics and weird episodes. This is already turning into one of my favourite seasons!
Link: "Have you coloured yourself, Chase?"
Chase: "I have."
Link: "That's odd..."
I don't drink, but I have long been fascinated by mixology and drinking glasses....this makes me want to find all of these and up my mocktail game.
I was so disappointed that the gin was gross. I love gin & tonics but i know I shouldn't be drinkin' em due to my gastric bypass.
"The loser will get mocked while drinking a mocktail in GMMore"
I've been watching them for a good while now, and going off their dirty innuendo style of humour, I fully expected Link to ask "So what'll happen to the one drinking a cocktail?"
