Seedlip’s alcohol-free gin replacement comes without the sugar – and the hangover
Seedlip’s alcohol-free gin replacement comes without the sugar – and the hangover (Seedlip)

If you don’t drink, or are the designated driver for the night, you don’t have to be saddled with shloer or some form of Elderflower presse.

Seedlip’s alcohol-free (and hangover-free) gin replacement is made from harvested natural ingredients and loses the sugar – but feels like a sophisticated replacement.

Founder Ben set up his copper distillery in a kitchen in the woods and has revived the art of 17th century apothecaries who distilled non-alcoholic herbal remedies.

The two bottles fall in with the seasons, Spice 94 has wintry notes with all spice, cardamom, oak and lemon and grapefruit, while the distinctly summery Garden 108 is much lighter with more experimental botanicals with pea and hay, and tinged with herbs from spearmint, rosemary and thyme.

50ml Seedlip Spice
​100ml Fever Tree Tonic
