Seedlip Garden 108

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!

I’m new to the n/a scene, and have recently invested (it’s a HUGE investment compared to buying booze) a few hundred dollars in alcohol free spirits. The Seedlip line is definitely sexy looking. Kudos on the marketing. The first bottle I tried was the #108. As I sipped the concoction I made according to their recipe, I couldn’t put my finger on the taste. It was a “vegetable” taste. My husband tried it and exclaimed- PICKLES! It tastes like pickle juice! And then it hit me. Vinegary pickle juice, bwaahhhh! Not sure what I will do with this very expensive pickle juice. Maybe Virgin Mary’s? I’m afraid to try the others they have. This whole n/a scene is a journey of trial & error. This one gets the proverbial reject buzzer… Sad, but still exploring other sobering options-

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.

When I took my first sip, I was like ‘ugh’. It tasted like compost to me. BUT as I kept sipping, I came to like it more and more. Don’t expect it to taste like an alcoholic drink - it doesn’t. Or like anything sweetish or even vaguely sophisticated mixer. It is a complex botanical taste that you really have to take on its own. I started with their recommendations - I love all things cucumber. In fact, I had expected a cucumber taste. Nope. But I need to really explore it with mixers (I could see ginger beer), with stronger cucumber or maybe citrus. Perhaps the appropriate bitters. It’s a very complex flavor.

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!

Last week I bought all 3 flavors after being gifted a bottle of the "garden" buy a girlfriend. I have quit drinking , and like the social aspect of a cocktail, but hate the poison. At first I was super stoked to find Seedlip- but after having to use almost 8-12 ounces in every mixed "drink" - this is becoming and expensive habit. What I want , is for this to be more concentrated flavor. The Garden is the best flavor, the Spice is straight pie spice in water, and the grove tastes like really watered down orange blossom water. I think if the flavors were more concentrated Id be hooked, but seems like they spent more money on the branding, than the flavor , and Im finding it hard to pay 30+ bucks for something so watered down.

I love a cocktail as much as anyone, but there are times when it doesn't make sense to have alcohol, so I wanted to test this out as an alternative, and I'm happy I did. It's not trying to be a fake gin, or vodka, or anything like that, it's just its own thing, and as with gin and vodka and other spirits, it won't be for everyone. That said, it definitely is for me. The taste is hard to describe, but as others have said, it definitely tastes like a "grown-up" drink. I like it mixed with tonic water and a little lime. That's the only way I've had it so far, but I plan to try it with other things. Perhaps I'll come back and update this review when I do. For now, though, even just with tonic, I'm giving it a thumbs up!

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.

I love everything about this product, from the glass bottle it is in, the design of the labels are beautiful and well thought out to the clear calorie free, sugar free liquid inside. This is an amazing drink and I really do love it - the Seedlip Spice is a warming drink but DO NOT JUST ADD WATER. No it is not gin - it does not taste like gin - it does not confess to tasting like gin so do not buy it if you want it to taste like gin.. I drink Seedlip 94 with Teisseire 0% sugar pink grapefruit and sparkling water in a tall glass and it is really delicious! The Seedlip 108 is also a lovely drink - again - not a gin! I add Teisseire 0% elderflower syrup, sparkling water and ice. I have not tried any with tonic water as I do not want to add any sugar and yes the price is a little high however this is a not your common cordial - you do not slug it down because you are thirsty - it is a drink to enjoy and savor and the enjoy the time that has been spent making this drink. As you can tell I am a great fan and will be buying more especially as they are on offer and the next one to try will be Seelip 42 which I think will go well with the Teisseire 0% Sugar Passion fruit - looking forward to it! Highly recommend and hope you enjoy ...

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

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