SEEDLIPGarden 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.

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!

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.

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.

I personally do not like the cucumber-forward flavor, but my wife likes it just fine. My bigger complaint is that for the price of a medium-high quality gin or liquor, I expect a more intense flavor that holds up when mixed with soda water. Mind you I'm not saying this should taste like gin, I'm saying if I were to mix 1oz of gin with 4oz of soda water (not that you would want to do that) I would clearly be able to taste the gin. With this spirit the flavor gets all but lost.It's not bad, but $32 for 700ml of lightly flavored water is not a good value.

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

I do enjoy the flavor, and did need the 2oz pour, which I mixed with soda water. I thought it was a bit vegetal, and mint forward. I was trying to reproduce my standby of Ketel One Cucumber Mint and soda. This is close-ish, and with a cucumber garnish would be even nicer. My main objections to this are the cost, and the bottle size. I don't know why they've opted for a 700ml bottle instead of a standard 750ml, but it seems like a philosophy of "shrinkflation" before there was anything to shrink. I find the cost of this product to be its most off-putting flaw. The $31 for this bottle puts you in the neighborhood of the price range of some very decent spirits, for which you'd receive a larger bottle. At half the price, I think I would buy Seedlip, just for the novelty and convenience, but in the future, I think I'll just buy a cucumber and some mint leaves and a lemon.
