Seedlip Garden 108 - Non-alcoholic Spirit | Calorie Free, Sugar Free | Non-alcoholic Cocktails | 23.7fl oz (700ml)

When mixed with tonic, this drink reminds me of a cucumber gin cocktail I used to make. It doesn't taste exactly like it, but it's very close, close enough to keep me happy. It also has a very appealing aroma. I read that the creation story was to bring about the summer memory of shelling peas. I associate cucumber more than peas with this concoction, but it is very refreshing. I've ordered some quince paste to try the quince collins recipe. This is the only non-alcoholic substitute for which I've wanted to purchase a second bottle!UPDATE: Second bottle - I wasn't crazy about the quince collins. So, the second bottle lasted a lot longer than the first - which could be good, as it is so expensive. Still, it does help cut back on alcohol and I can feel like I'm treating myself to a gin and tonic.

Green pea flavored water. And just the lightest flavor. 100% not worth it.

arrived promptly + in good condition. the flavor is... interesting. i think i like it but it is sweeter than i had expected. it smells like gin + sweet-mint but tastes like sweetened cucumber water with a pickle aftertaste- the rosemary/ thyme/ hops notes that are supposed to be in there are too subtle for my tastebuds i guess. it is a nice change up though + helps make "cocktail hour" a bit more fun for a pregnant mom. i get to have a drink that feels special so i dont feel left out + i have fun with the crafting drinks a bit (i like mixing it in with some orange blossom syrup, lemon + sparkling water). additionally, i use much more of it per drink than the usual 4oz. pour you would normally add to a real cocktail so i am going through it faster than expected as well. the recipes on the seedlip website are fun though and it is zero calories so, if still interested, i would start with another flavor if i were you.

Pros: It's flavorful, has the right herbs, the unbottling and pouring experience feels like an expensive liquor. Genuinely a good replacement if you want a drink.Cons: Because the spirit being imitated is gin, there's no fizz, kick, or other disguise. After a while, it starts to seem like an expensive flavored water.Overall: A strong alternative to having a spirit on the rocks.

Hmmm. Seems like a work in progress. I tried some straight out of the bottle (of course!) and it tasted like flavored water. I tried some with the suggested serve, tonic and peas, and it tasted like a grown-up drink. Ditto with tonic and lime. But it smells a little weird. I’m thinking of experimenting with juniper berries to get a more ginnish flavor...and I’ll try the Exotic flavor, I guess, to see if it’s like Opihr. The price is ridiculous and I wouldn’t buy much - see the picture for what $40 buys you in reasonable booze and not-booze - until the price comes down. But I’m still thinking about this one. Nice effort.Update: I tried soaking juniper berries in it and that improved it just a bit, but not enough. It comes down to the smell, which I really dislike (and I'm a country girl). I'd try the Exotic flavor, but not at $40 after already blowing $40 on this flavor. I really, really wanted to like this, and I'm intrigued by the way it transforms tonic into an "adult beverage," but it's just not for me. Sorry.

As someone who can't drink due to an alcohol allergy this is a godsend! When I make virgin cocktails with this it has a complex adult (not sweet) taste. I think a lot of people who can't drink will really appreciate this especially when the only virgin options are usually super sugary lemonades/soda etc. The bottle is pricey but so are nicer spirits so I don't mind, although I do hope more bars/restaurants will stock this as it's the kind of thing I'd love to order while out.It seems like people are upset this doesn't taste exactly like gin, but I think you need to have an open mind, it's a unique product with a unique taste and mixed with tonic waters etc. it really tastes amazing.If you can handle alcohol I think you'd be more likely to brush this product aside as it's expensive and not exactly a replacement for gin, but if you're someone who has to stay away from alcohol (or is really motivated to cut back) let me tell you it's worth it!

Tastes just like a gin and tonic when mixed-more than any we have tried! But not the negative effects of alcohol-actually healthy.

Nothing. No taste. No substance. Nothing I couldn't get from mixing water with all of the additions I needed to get close to a tasty experience. No reason to ever purchase again.
