Seedlip Garden 108

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.

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.

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!

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.

No longer can drink alcohol due to medication and this has worked great for me as a substitute in drinks

Soft grassy flavor. Reminds me of weak chamomile tea. Not bad, but I wouldn’t want to drink it straight. Pretty good with tonic, if you want a sophisticated tasting sipper but don’t want gin. Does NOT work in a martini.

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!

It is okay but I found the product nothing special. Too expensive for what you get.

Sapore veramente intenso di erbe tra cui timo, fieno, rosmarino e luppolo con aggiunta di bacche di ginepro, anice stellato e ghiaccio anche senza soda o acqua tonica! consigliatissimo, vero sostituto del Gin Tonic. Non tornerete più indietro.. Truly intense herbal flavor including thyme, hay, rosemary and hops with added juniper berries, star anise and ice even without soda or tonic water! highly recommended, true Gin Tonic substitute. You will never go back...

Wrong item sent. The right product is good

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.

Beh se cercate un sostituto al Gin Tonic ma analcolico benvenuto nel mondo di Seedlip: non tornerete più indietro! Ottimo!
