I tried a few of these rum subs for a recent cocktail party! Here are my thoughts: Soda water: I didn't make the Palm Trees Attack recipe, but I did successfully sub soda water for rum in a Painkiller and a Zombie. I also used it in another NA drink recipe found on Reddit, "All the Sunny Fruits." All three were delicious. I was reluctant at first to rely too much on soda water because it felt like a boring, easy answer, but after trying s few things, I actually think it is the most versatile substitute. It's flavor-neutral, so it goes in anything. The bubbles add a sharp zing to replace the alcohol burn. And if you use 3-4 oz of soda in place of 2 oz of rum, it dilutes the sweetness of the final drink a bit, which I think you need if you don't have the alcohol in there to balance the sugars. Mock-tai: I did make this recipe and it's absolutely delicious. It had sort of a creamsicle flavor - very sweet and orange-forward. Not super similar-tasting to an alcoholic Mai Tai, but really excellent. I think that if I wanted to make it less dessert-ey and more aggressive, I might reduce the OJ and add a splash of soda water. Blackstrap Tea and NA-vy Grog: I tried this and liked it, but I don't think the Blackstrap Tea is super versatile. On its own it tasted sort of unpleasantly spicy and funky, and when mixed into a Zombie the end result was not very well balanced (unlike when using soda water). The issue could be with my methods of brewing the tea - looking back at the recipe now, I realized that I used allspice instead of nutmeg - oops. And I think that I may have oversteeped it. If I try it again, I might try just eliminating the spices altogether and relying on syrups and bitters to bring the spice elements to drinks.
Thanks so much for giving these a shot. I also appreciate the in-depth review! I agree, soda water is def a “universal” replacement. I also wanted to showcase what some other options were. Thanks for watching. Okole maluna
Now that new ingredient (English breakfast+blackstrap molasses) is inspiring! I might even consider that the caffeine content is low enough to share that NA Navy Grog with my 5 years old. He get so jealous when i make myself a cocktail. How long do you infuse the tea and why add spices with the tea when you already involve a cinnamon syrup in the cocktail?
I infused mine for about 30 minutes. I added the spices for additional layers of flavor in the cocktail. The cinnamon syrup adds a nice rounded spice upfront while the infused tea adds that rounded spice, from the cinnamon, on the back palate.

You got it.
I’ll be trying the navy grog this weekend! Thanks for posting these!
You’re very welcome. I’d love to hear what you think!
freak... I read through the description before watching the video and am already excited to try these out!
P.S. your camera isn't aligned with the room and triggers my "OCD"
Can’t wait to hear your thoughts.
Can’t wait to hear your thoughts.
Thanks for letting me know, I’ll try and fix it for the next one.
Thanks! I've been hoping to find tiki inspired mocktails 🍹
You’re welcome!
Well done!
Thanks so much. Hope you enjoy them.
Nice video. I love the ideas, I have also been using tea and agree that it works best.
Yes!!
Excited to try out the blackstrap tea!
Can’t wait to hear your thoughts.
Love this
So glad you loved it!
Kevin Kos made a video about none alcoholic homemade bitters
Yea I saw that. Would pair great with these.
What ever works for you in terms of content creation go for it. These sound fun
Thanks for the support

Awesome video - exactly what I needed to watch. (BTW Lyres is pronounced liars)
And I'm glad I don't have to buy Lyre's thanks to your vid - looking forward to experimenting with syrups.
@@TBScab can’t wait to hear what you think
For rum substitute I just use Dr Pepper 😂
Maybe that's wrong but it's dark and fruity.
@@WaveRusher that’s interesting. I’ll have to try it m
@@MixingUpTiki Tried it in a Painkiller.
Be careful though, it made my shaker nearly explode. 😂
@@WaveRusher yea, never shake carbonated ingredients.
jray danuary
Haha 😂
Sir, sir! Please stop! A mai tai should not have coconut.
@@KWFtoday a traditional, original, 1944 Mai tai, agreed.
However this isn’t a 1944 Mai tai, so it’s allowed to take some liberties.
