SEEDLIP Garden 108 – Non-Alcoholic Spirit | Calorie Free, Sugar Free | Spirit Alternative | Non-Alcoholic Cocktails | 23.7 fl oz (700ml)

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!

Save yourself the time and expense and infuse some water with cucumbers. This is very FAINTLY flavored. I expected something complex and herbaceous, having read the wirecutter review. I received something that tastes like weak herbal tea. Don’t bother.

Love it I recommend it delicioso.

If you are expecting this to have the bite of alcohol, you will be disappointed. It seems that the reason this product is getting bad reviews is because it is not being used the correct way. I feel they are expecting it to takes like vodka, for example, without the alcohol which is not correct. It needs to be used as a base and build the flavors on top of it. You cannot simple mix it with a spirit and expect a flavorful drink. It takes some knowledge of flavors and pairings to male this product shine. This is a very interesting product. It gives the taste of alcohol (without the bite) however it is alcohol free. This is currently the only company worldwide that produces a product like this distilling herbs and then adding water so it gives a mocktail a “grown up” taste without the alcohol. This specific bottle has a strong cardamon scent and flavor which is much to my liking. It is not very appealing by itself but does pair well with flavored carbonated sodas and juices. I shook 3oz of this with 0.5 rhubarb syrup and 0.25oz lemon juice with ice then topped off with grapefruit soda. It was a big hit! I think adding some basil would really elevate it.

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.

The garden flavor is complex and wonderful with tonic water and other mixers. Those reviewers expecting gin and tonic just don’t get it. This is a whole different drink. It’s an entirely different distilled beverage. You can’t expect gin and whiskey to be interchangeable so don’t expect this product to stand in for any other. It is unique unto itself and stands alone. For those of us who choose not to drink alcohol but would enjoy a distilled beverage, it fills the bill. Friends who are designated drivers really appreciate it as well. It provides the opportunity to offer not only non-alcohol beer but a distilled drink too. Give this product a try with an open mind and a creative spirit and I guarantee you will love 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.

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.

Yummy with tonic and a wedge of lime.

As a replacement for gin it works well for me. The taste is delicious, although does not compare to gin, it does provide a very easy & drinkable non alcoholic alternative for those who can't drink alcohol. Highly recommend

Lots of people do not drink for various reasons. Pregnancy, being a designated driver, a personal or family history of alcoholism, inability to metabolise alcohol, weight loss, sorting out hormone imbalance, cancer, liver issues etc... The list can be quite long and varied. So anyone who wonders what the point of this drink must live a very secluded life. It DOES NOT taste like flavoured water. It definitely tastes like a botanical spirit, but without the sharp bite of alcohol behind it, if that makes sense. Personally, I wanted to stop drinking during the week because I felt it was not a healthy habit. But non-alcoholic/low-alcoholic wine is awful and I don't like juice or soft drinks. I do however like a Hendricks & tonic. I didn't bother with the Seedlip drinks until I ordered one when we were at a Sunday lunch where I was designated driver. It was so delicious I ordered my first bottle of Garden when I got home. I must admit I haven't even tried the other flavours because this one makes me so happy and allows me to continue my evening ritual of preparing a G&T with a slice and squeeze of lime without the calories, sleep interference and general habitual use that alcohol causes. I switch back to Hendricks and/or Gordons on the weekend and find no difficulty in switching between the two. Both are delicious and it is a great product. My only complaint is that it wasn't around when I was pregnant...I remember thinking if I had to drink another Fentiman's Rose Lemonade I'd barf. A nice mildly bitter, botanical proper grown up drink like Seedlip would have been much better.

Donne une vraie illusion de boire une sorte de Gin tonic, mélangé avec du schweppes...Très bon substitut alcoolique pour les amateurs de gin.

Wrong item sent. The right product is good
