Product Information

As with real gin, low- and no-ABV spirits vary widely in taste (with varying degrees of success!) Most do manage to capture the herbal, slightly citrus notes of a generic gin, and other brands, like Seedlip, have even developed different flavours to emulate the different styles of gin you find: spiced, floral and so on. It’s the use of these botanicals - particularly juniper, which is legally required to be the dominant flavour of gin - that helps the final product to taste similar to the real thing. This is a perfect companion to those doing Dry January, those who've made a new year’s resolution to ditch alcohol, or folk fancy filling a gin-shaped hole but don’t want morning headache.

This brand-new “no and low” range is a way for Clubbers to experiment with even more tasty new tipples! Here’s everything you need to know… What is alcohol-free gin?

This is why it is probably worth spending a little bit more, and choosing beverages from a trusted craft gin distiller, when selecting your no- or low-ABV ‘gin’; hopefully, it’s a sign that your drink will have been crafted with real care and premium ingredients. Is alcohol-free gin harmful? These low-alcohol tipples are ideal if you want to enjoy something a bit special but you’re hoping to cut down on your alcohol intake. Adnams Smidgin Gin The Gordon’s Alcohol-Free gin has an extremely sweet overlay that makes it the sweetest non-alcoholic Gin I have tried. If you prefer a more traditional tasting option (that is easy to find in the UK) I, like I mentioned above, have written about Lyre’s Dry London Gin which you should read more about here. With a growing movement of sober-curiosity and being aware of enjoying alcohol in moderation, the good news is that quality craft distillers that we know and love (like Salcombe Distillery and Warners) are turning their hand to 0% or low-alcohol spirits that make for a refreshing alternative that are very close taste-wise to a real G&T! Can you make alcohol-free gin at home?

However, others don’t use any base spirit at all, and instead rely on maceration, a process where botanicals are left to ‘soak’ in a liquid until they develop a flavour not dissimilar to real gin. These processes can also change the mouthfeel of a liquid, giving it a more ‘ginny’ character on the palate. Why is alcohol-free gin so expensive? And here’s where the process changes from the usual: whereas a standard-strength gin will be diluted by about half, in these situations the liquid will be more heavily diluted by the distiller, by adding much more water, and this brings the overall alcohol content of the liquid much lower.Botanicals are all the different herbs, spices, fruits and other natural flavourings that craft distillers use to produce the unique flavour of their spirits (and is the reason why gin is such a marvellously versatile drink - the varieties of flavour are endless!). Low-ABV (low-alcohol) beverages are often made using a classic distillation process, which is how full-strength gins are made. During this process, a neutral grain spirit — a plain alcohol — is added to a copper still along with a variety of botanicals.
