Each spirit features adaptogens, which are herbs, roots and other plant substances that are designed to promote a sense of well-being while providing calm and soothing effects.<\/p>\n<p>I thought Philters did an outstanding job of mimicking the flavor of its alcoholic counterparts, and it provided a bite by adding an afterburn of some degree to each of its spirits.<\/p>\n<p>Each 2 oz. serving has 5-20 calories and 0-2 g. of carbs. No refrigeration is required.<\/p>\n<p>Philters comes in four varieties:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-9515\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Philters-wiski-127x300.jpg\" alt=\"Philters wiski\" width=\"106\" height=\"250\" \/>Jynn (gin) smelled like a floral black licorice and had a burn when consumed neat. Mixed with tonic, Jynn was enjoyable and not too different from the real thing.<\/li>\n<li>After I took a whiff of the Ruhm (rum), I instantly thought of a cookie, as the cinnamon and ginger were prevalent. I mixed Ruhm with cola, and it made for a sweet and spiced mocktail.<\/li>\n<li>Though the smell of the Wiski (whiskey) reminded me of root beer, the flavor had a strong smokiness from the oak chips, and I think the afterburn came from the Siberian ginseng. I found the recipe on the Philters website to make a whiskey sour, and this was actually a pretty outstanding mocktail.<\/li>\n<li>I think the Mezkahl (mezcal) was the smoothest on its own. The coriander was the most prevalent flavor, and you will notice sweetness from the organic cane sugar. A recommended recipe combines it with grapefruit soda, which somehow made it spicier.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can purchase Philters on its website.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Photos by Philters<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve seen more and more non-alcoholic&#8211;also known as &#8220;zero proof&#8221;&#8211;spirits at the liquor store, so I was eager to try Philters, just in time for Dry January.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9514,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[172],"tags":[336],"class_list":["post-9509","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-food-and-beverage","tag-mocktails"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9509","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9509"}],"version-history":[{"count":16,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9509\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9527,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9509\/revisions\/9527"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/9514"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9509"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9509"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9509"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
