Better than you might think...

I'd already decided to give up drinking this year so I just bought this as a bit of fun when my drinking friends came round in Jan - and I'm hooked! It has made not drinking an absolute breeze. I've tried the black and the red. I prefer the taste of the red (with coke) and the red suits me because being quite hyper, it has a mellowing effect - not stoned or groggy - hard to describe - like having a couple of gulps of red wine. The feeling is consistent, lasting and takes the edge off. There are no side-effects. You don't need more than 2 glasses but I might have a third to be sociable. Consistent with other reviewers, more introverted drinkers might prefer the black. I couldn't tell the difference with the black myself as I don't need to be more sociable & talkative! I found the black to be a stronger more licorice-y taste (to me) and I had it with ginger beer which obviously is a strong taste in itself. I didn't dislike the taste of the black and would have gone with it if it gave the effect I required. I like the taste of the red with coke but would say with either, if you're not convinced about the taste, stick with it and/or try a different mixer. I don't recommend lemonade as both drinks need a strong-tasting mixer. I've been buying the red on a monthly basis since Jan and that's manageable price-wise and I'm confident about not lapsing into binge-drinking. I'm looking forward to being able to buy it in supermarkets and at airports.

I love SENTIA drinks

I love SENTIA drinks! Initially I was wondering if it was just marketing, but decided to give it a go. It really does something for me! The red one makes me more social, more vibrant, and the black one calms me down, to the point of wanting to sleep if I have too much - it seems to have a stronger effect. We were trying to work out what the most active ingredients might be in terms of psychoactive, and figured wormwood was definitely one key component! The great thing is that these drinks do not contain a high quantity of sugars, unlike their competitors. It is suitable for a keto diet and healthy generally - and if you want a sweet drink you can always use a mixer, it just means you have the choice! As someone who has to avoid sugar for health reasons, this is very important to me. They have a great depth of flavour and make great cocktail bases. I just really wish they were cheaper, that is by far the biggest downside. Replacing Agave syrup with something lower in fructose might be an idea too. Other than that, I'd love to see some more creations 🙂

I absolutely adore Sentia

I absolutely adore Sentia! As someone who stays sober most of the time, but used to work in bars and drink a lot, I find it a great and fun way to experiment with mixology and other flavours. It gives a wonderful 'pre-drink' feeling and helps get you into a great headspace when socialising with friends or going out. I can't recommend it enough!

A versatile alternative to alcohol

I have started experimenting with Sentia last year and I must say that the versatility of being able to mix it with other products amazed me. I have created some already acclaimed cocktails in the sober community that I am running being constantly asked what is the base spirit used. I can strongly recommend Sentia to be stocked in every bar in the world as a great alternative to alcohol , much superior I must add as well.

I love Red

I love Red! The flavor goes perfectly with some spicy ginger beer over ice! As someone who is trying to cut back on alcohol, I find the depth of flavor to match what I’m looking for in a good cocktail. Whether it’s placebo effect, or true effect—I do find Red to have a calming “wind down” result that I’m looking for!

How do we get this in NZ?

Hi there - not a review but I love the look and idea of this product but I live in New Zealand and can’t get it here, or shipped here from the US or UK website. How can I get your product? Do you have a stockist in NZ?

Kein "Schwips"

Von der beschriebenen berauschenden Wirkung dieses als Ersatzalkohol beworbenen Drinks (beinahe erwartungsgemäss) keine Spur! Ganz nett als Mixzutat für alkoholfreie Cocktails - aber letztlich für die rund EUR 70.- inclusive Importkosten aus England viel zu teuer!

Sentia Red Wirkung = 0

Nach dem die Flasche Sentia Red endlich an kam habe ich mich direkt an den Versuch gewagt und wurde bitter enttäuscht.Bei dem Preis waren die Erwartungen schon Recht hoch Gemischt habe ich es mit Tonicwater Wirkung war absolut nicht festzustellen auch nicht nach der halben Flasche.

Nicht zu Empfehlen

Am 04.03. bestellt am 14.03 angekommen. Der ganze Spaß 4 Flaschen 0,5L haben 158,44€ gekostet inkl. Versandkosten, dazu noch Zollgebühren die man beim annehmen des Pakets bezahlen muss von 15,89€, also insgesamt 174,33€ für 2 Liter. Das Zeug (Black & Red) schmeckt nach öligem Räucherstäbchen. Von der Wirkung habe ich nach 250ml nichts gemerkt.

Alcohol-like buzz without the hangover!

We have both the red and the black flavours and they are both delish; we can confirm that they definitely give you that alcohol-like buzz - highly recommend 🙂

Did nothing for me

I usually get a slight buzz from alcohol-free / 0.5% lager, maybe from association with the taste. So I was hoping this would have an effect, but found it to be a waste of time and money sadly.

Good alternative to soft drink when with boozers

Bought the red and black and took the black away for my birthday weekend with my family. I went AF 5 months ago and have no wish to drink alcohol again but I miss the feeling occasionally. I wanted a fuller bodied grown up flavoured drink rather than flavoured tonic so I could share the drinking experience. I liked the black with various mixers and the after taste worked for me; much like having an alcoholic drink. I can’t put my finger on the effect but it was pleasant and added to my evening experience. I drink quickly especially wine and fizz but a glass of black lasted me a long time because of the strong after taste. Looking forward to trying the red but will definitely buy the black again for a social occasion where others are drinking.

Disappointing for me

I bought the red & black pack of Sentia with great enthusiasm, after reading about it in the Daily Mail. I have just tried the red one neat to start with, my first thought sorry to say was cough medicine, & caught the back of my throat. So, I added tonic, still a very strange taste! But I will persevere trying different mixers. Just hoping the black is more palatable for me. Val McAlister

It works

I wanted to cut down on my alcohol consumption after undergoing treatment for cancer. While looking for an alternative I stumbled upon professor Nutt. I read all I could find on him and his studies and was fascinated, especially with his synthetic alcohol. As that seems a long way off I decided to try Sentia. I now drink Sentia red with ginger beer. It tastes delicious but more importantly I 100% feel like I’ve had 2 glasses of wine. For me it gives me that heavy limbed relaxed feeling that a couple of glasses of wine used to give me. I do though think that it works best for people who do not drink alcohol so have a lower tolerance. I have always had a lower tolerance with alcohol and maybe this is why I feel the effects. Whatever it is, thank you it works!!

I discovered over the Christmas period…

I discovered over the Christmas period Sentia Spirits. I brought the red label bottle for evenings. My go to mix is fresh orange juice over ice. It’s full of herbs that are known for there health benefits and it just mellows you with out the woozy effect of alcohol. It’s a win win! Your getting boosted with antioxidants while drinking a recreational drink for pleasure.
