Yes You Can Drinks Review
I recently spoke with Yes You Can Drinks founder, Tyler Martin and had an opportunity to learn about all things Yes You Can Drinks.
The Yes You Can Drinks are a range of Australian Made non-alcoholic drinks which include the:
- Spritz (zesty orange and rhubarb).
- Dark & Stormy (citrus, ginger and smoky).
- G+T (juniper led, citrus & bitter)
All come with a brilliant level of bitterness and warming heat to finish.
Find out more about the non-alcoholic twist that the team have put on a few classic styles. Yes You Can have put together a range that is easy to buy online, easy to fit into any picnic or party and fit for at any time of the day or night.
Keep an eye out for the Yes You Can Podcast that is coming up in the next few weeks!
What is in the Yes You Can Drinks Range?
The range is crafted to suit drinkers of all tastes and includes three key options, which you can read more about below. Just click the links in the list and it will take you to the spot in the post:

Who is the Yes You Can Drinks Range for?
The new range from Yes You Can is for anyone, for any reason and for any time.
During my chat with Tyler Martin, Founder of Yes You Can, he mentioned that the vision was not only to create a drink that would allow people to enjoy the flavours of their favourite drinks when replacing traditional alcoholic versions but to also create a drink that could be enjoyed any time and on any occasion.
The range is for anyone looking to enjoy a grown-up and complex tasting drink no matter whether:
- you’re not drinking at all;
- starting on the hard stuff and swapping across to Yes You Can after a couple – to drive home, get up early, take it easy or just ‘because’; or
- simply looking to try something different.
What do the Yes You Can Drinks Taste Like?
There is an adage of ‘if you want something done right, do it yourself’ and that’s exactly what the Yes You Can team of Tyler and Sophie have done.
Tasting, testing, and tweaking just the range over 9 months and across 17 different iterations really shows you level of care, attention and dedication that has been put into the Yes You Can range. So what’s in it?
Yes You Can G+T Taste
The taste profile of the G+T is juniper led and built on citrus with a balancing sweetness from tonic, while being finished with a big and bold that builds as you work through your mouthful before leaving you with heat that gradually builds and then lingers in your mouth.
While there are other ready to drink alcohol-free G+T options from Gordon’s and Monday, this one is the closest I’ve found to replicating a traditional G+T.
I’d bet you that given the bitterness and heat that comes off this Yes You Can creation that you would struggle to tell this apart from an alcoholic gin in a blind tasting.

Yes You Can Spritz Taste
The Spritz is a complex set of orange and citrus flavours that are balanced with a candied layered base, bitterness that builds and lingers as you drink and then leaves you with a mouthcoating and lingering level of heat to finish.
The Spritz is made for every day and will leave you missing that Italian holiday! The flavour profile is warm and complex and doesn’t try to overdo the flavour front which leaves you with a Spritz that would do well in the can or in a glass full of ice with a straw! Check out more about the Spritz from the Yes You Can team.
Yes You Can Dark & Stormy Taste
Full of fresh ginger, citrus and lime notes with a complex smokiness. The Dark & Stormy is then balanced out with some sweetness before being finished bitterness and mouthcoating heat from the use of the Flashback™ blend of botanicals.
This is the wind-down in the evening, relaxing on the couch or chilling with the sand between your toes on the bach sort of a drink. Check out some more information about the way the product came to life over with Yes You Can.

The Yes You Can team sent a sample pack my way to help piece together and share my thoughts on the products in the Yes You Can Range and I’ve since ordered a few more times from them directly as I love the product!
