Seedlip Spice 94 | Non-Alcoholic Spirit | with Distilled Aromatic Botanicals | 0% vol | 70cl | Notes of Allspice | Cardamom & Grapefruit | for Cocktail Mixers & Non-Alcoholic Drinks

Better than real gin? NoA real alternative to gin that's better than many other options? Yes!I decided to have a period of total abstinence from alcohol (it's so common in Irish society you sometimes lose perspective on it) but during that time I wanted some 'adult' drinks that were an alternative to sugary or sweet non-alcoholic alternatives out there.I already really like tonic water but I also wanted something to jazz it up and add a bit of flavour and variety so I got both the Spice and Garden variants of the Seedlip Drinks. On balance I think I preferred the Garden version (like a slightly 'grassy' gin really) but the Spice version was also nice and it could have some interesting uses in the run up to Christmas.I wasn't keen on it neat or over ice but I wouldn't drink alcoholic spirits that way either (and am not a big spirits drinker overall).I shared it with many friends and relatives and most of them enjoyed it a lot, with an interesting split of partiality as between the Spice and Garden versions. I'd love to see what else the Seedlip Drinks company could come up with.

Having been disappointed with non alcoholic wine in that to me it tastes like unsweetened grape juice, Seedlip Spice 94 exceeded expectations. Yes, it does have a strong clove taste, but when mixed with Fevertree tonic (elderflower variety my preference) it has a very satisfyingly ‘alcoholic’ drink quality. My tip would be to not judge Spice 94 on your first glass as it is a bit of an acquired taste. My 5* review is based on being able to be adopt a modified version of dry Jan (ie dry weekdays) on the back of a Seedlip Spice 94 ‘G&T’.

Although this has a great flavour when mixed with Tonic it is not pleasent by itself. For me a simulation spirit should be close to the flavour of the mimic spirit even when neat.The aspect that bothers me most is price. I'm paying £20 when I can get decent gins for less. I've not tried other simulation spirits but as this is supposed to be one of the better options I dont think I want to.

This is a really good alternative to the classic alcohol based drinks.You might find yourself in the position of craving for a drink but not necessary an alcoholic one, then you'll see that there are not many options out there to choose from , and this one can successfully emulate a classic gin & tonic.The only downfall I can find is the price, in my opinion this is an overprice non-alcoholic drink which can easily match a good quality whisky or something similar. I do understand that they're trying to find a spot on the premium market but still......Is very good with tonic water or as an ingredient to a cocktail but under NO circumstance try this neat or on the rocks.....disgusting

If you try it neat it just tastes like tap water, very expensive tap water. Very annoyed with myself for buying it and even more so for buying the recipe book too!!!

I’ve drunk another non alcoholic gin by this company and really liked it, so when I spied the offer Amazon had on Seedlip gins I decided to treat myself and purchased two flavours I hadn’t tried, opened this one on Easter Sunday for myself and one of our guests and we both really enjoyed it - plenty of ice, slice of lime and Fevertree regular Tonic, great. Cheers!

This is ok - nice tasting and a decent alternative when others who may be not having a dry month are on the G&Ts, but the full price is ridiculous bearing it mind it is just a posh cordial. I bought it on Amazon Fresh special offer at £8.84 and that is ok - but they are having a laugh now at £24. Not worth it and will not be buying more unless it comes back down to offer price,

I bought the spice flavour on offer at £20. That's less than some alcohol free alternatives I've tried. I had it with Fentimans grapefruit tonic, a slice of lime and a cinnamon stick. The flavours are so wintery and great for me over Christmas and New Year. I will buy the garden one for Spring and then the autumn one. The flavours are delicate but do come through well even a heavily flavoured tonic. It's complex and so much better than tea, coffee, water or sweet fizzy drinks. For those not drinking it's a fabulous treat for those occasions you want a grown up real alternative to alcohol.
