Alcohol-Free Gin: The G&T Experience Without the Fuzz

Love a G&T but not the side effects? Alcohol-free gin is changing the way we enjoy this classic drink—offering the same botanical depth, without the alcohol (or the next-day fuzziness). Whether you’re cutting back or just curious, here’s everything you need to know about the best way to enjoy a zero-alcohol G&T.

1. What Is Alcohol-Free Gin?

Alcohol-free gin is a distilled, botanical-infused spirit designed to mimic traditional gin—without the alcohol. Brands use a variety of methods, including steam distillation and maceration, to extract flavours from ingredients like juniper, citrus, coriander, and spices.

Unlike sugary soft drinks or diluted alternatives, quality alcohol-free gins provide depth, complexity, and a proper G&T experience.

2. Does It Really Taste Like Gin?

The key to a great gin is its balance of botanicals, and alcohol-free versions aim to recreate that. While traditional gin relies on alcohol to carry flavours, top alcohol-free brands use higher botanical concentrations and clever distillation techniques to get as close as possible.
