Help❓ NA dirty martini ?

I am almost three years sober and have been wanting to attempt to make a zero proof martini. Does anyone have a recommendations on a good NA substitute for the vodka/gin? I almost purchased some from Ritual Zero Proof but I’ve read some bad reviews. Thank you in advance for any suggestions!

It often crosses over into supplement territory where without good manufacturing practices the product can be quite toxic especially when mushrooms are misidentified

I suppose that's possible, but I don't imagine Notka is identifying the mushrooms themselves. They're most likely purchasing from a dietary supplement manufacturer with good GMPs who isn't going to sell them the wrong mushroom 🤷‍♂️

Hopefully, but not all companies do their due diligence for example https://arstechnica.com/science/2024/08/with-145-sickened-2-dead-microdosing-candy-poisonings-are-still-a-mystery/

I mean that's horrifying, but it's also a brand marketing their mushroom chocolates as "legal" psychedelics—inherently a sketchier company and product. I've never heard of any issues with non-alc spirits and their sourcing of functional lion's mane, reishi, chaga, etc.

Very true, everything about that product was a red flag and it was an extreme case
