Seedlip Garden 108

Adds a subtle flavorful taste to club soda for a nice refresher without the alcohol.

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.

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.

Hmmm. Seems like a work in progress. I tried some straight out of the bottle (of course!) and it tasted like flavored water. I tried some with the suggested serve, tonic and peas, and it tasted like a grown-up drink. Ditto with tonic and lime. But it smells a little weird. I’m thinking of experimenting with juniper berries to get a more ginnish flavor...and I’ll try the Exotic flavor, I guess, to see if it’s like Opihr. The price is ridiculous and I wouldn’t buy much - see the picture for what $40 buys you in reasonable booze and not-booze - until the price comes down. But I’m still thinking about this one. Nice effort. Update: I tried soaking juniper berries in it and that improved it just a bit, but not enough. It comes down to the smell, which I really dislike (and I'm a country girl). I'd try the Exotic flavor, but not at $40 after already blowing $40 on this flavor. I really, really wanted to like this, and I'm intrigued by the way it transforms tonic into an "adult beverage," but it's just not for me. Sorry.

OK, this is my first foray into non-alco spirits and I have been drinking Bombay Sapphire exclusively for the last 20 years and before that, mostly Tanq. I'm not gonna bother with SEEDLIP's complexities and botanicals, blah, blah, blah. I'm only interested in if it will be a decent substitute for Bombay Sapphire in my gin & tonics. Well, I find it pleasantly refreshing and while I will still drink my gin & tonics with Bombay Sapphire, I will look to the SEEDLIP Garden 108 rather than mixing that second alcoholic gin & tonic.

I tried this and thought it was a fun alternative to gin (or even to mix with gin when you want a slightly less boozy gin & tonic). The flavor is very grassy/vegetal but if you're already into botanical gins you might enjoy it. That said, it does NOT taste like gin... so if that's really what you're looking for you probably need to stick to the real thing. I ordered a bottle for myself, put it in the freezer with my gin like an idiot, and came back to a glass explosion. PSA: as this is not made with alcohol, it will freeze...

We liked the herbal taste, but it takes way too much of this expensive elixir to flavor a drink. We tried it several ways -- with lime & sparkling water, with tonic, with a little juice, and with various crushed herbs. But to really taste the Seedlip, you need a heavy pour. We wouldn't mind if the price/value was similar to a decent gin or a bottle of wine, but this is way too expensive for a daily mocktail.

Wonderfully refreshing. Lovely aftertaste. Great value for the money

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...

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 ...

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.
