Product Information

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.

As with most alcoholic gins, each brand tends to have a signature serve which we try alongside testing the spirit neat and in various styles of gin and tonic. And the reason for this is because the process to make such drinks – perfecting the blend, distillation, and then removing the alcohol – can be as involved as it is with the real stuff. Here at Craft Gin Club, whilst it’s often gin o’clock, sometimes we gin-lovers just fancy a low - or no - alcoholic cocktail. This gin is CleanCo’s take on London Dry, with a crisp juniper flavour combined with lemon, coriander and grapefruit, along with earthy angelica (a celery-like herb) and orris (a fragrant, violet-scented root) for that familiar citrus/herbaceous gin flavour. These low-alcohol gins are usually around 4% ABV, which becomes negligible once it’s mixed with tonic water or other soft drinks.We invite a few gin fans who also enjoy an occasional alcohol-free version to test the gins with us to allow a wider spectrum of taste preferences. Using botanical ingredients to make macerated spirits, this Fresh Citrus variety is a heady mix of orange, lemon, grapefruit and a wallop of mandarin, plus plenty of fire from ginger extract and more than a pinch of cayenne, giving this gin that alcohol-burn without the alcohol. If you’ve tried the likes of Gordon’s alcohol-free gin, or Tanqueray alcohol-free gin, then it’s time to try some craft alcohol-free gin! Inspired by the heritage of London Dry gin and the exotic cargo of the Salcombe fruit schooner, trading fruits and spices with the Americas from its beautiful home in South Devon, New London Light is crafted by distilling Macedonian juniper, warming ginger and spicy habanero into a base spirit.

Every bottle purchased helps regenerate 1m² of seagrass in conjunction with the Marine Conservation Society, which makes it a win-win in our book. Great in cocktails such as a Paloma or Tom Collins, or simply mixed with tonic, it should be no surprise to discover that Crossip has found its way onto menus at eateries Dishoom, Coppa Club and Daisy Green. It would be very difficult to make alcohol-free gin at home unless you happen to own a miniature still! 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. When creating these alcohol-free alternatives to gin, many of the best craft producers are using all the same strict methods, equipment and high-quality ingredients that they would to create a bottle of real gin.Conker Spirit from Dorset has turned its hand to making something for the sober crew – and we rather like it. We know our community of gin lovers are adventurous - that’s why Clubbers love the surprise each month of discovering and tasting all the exciting new snacks and drinks in their Gin of the Month boxes (many of which are rare and exclusive). You could try to replicate the ‘maceration’ method by experimenting with botanicals and booze-free liquid; but in all honesty, why bother? On the one hand, the strong scents and flavours of sweet orange, lemon and bitter orange give a clear citrus gin-like profile, but some found the citrus character overpowering.

Salcombe Gin creates exceptional, multi-award-winning spirits at its waterside distillery, and its first foray into 0% gin is equally a triumph.The vapour is then cooled and becomes liquid again; the distiller captures this liquid and dilutes it with water. Similarly to a full-ABV version, alcohol-free gin and low-alcohol drinks are best when enjoyed in moderation.

Now, a new breed of low- and no-alcohol gins means you can enjoy all the deliciousness of a sophisticated mixed drink but without the headache the next day. If you’re a fan of citrussy gins, then you’ll love this spirit from Crossip – it’s citrus gin on steroids, but without any of the booze. We look for classic – or inventive – gin aromas and flavours on the nose and on the palate, with extra points for those that have a real, authentic alcoholic smell and taste to them – harder than it sounds to achieve. Some non-alcoholic spirits are made using the same process as for low-ABV ones: with a neutral grain spirit and botanicals being added to a still, which then go through multiple rounds of distillation to remove all the alcohol from the liquid. Like all of our straight spirit reviews, we select the best 0% gins for the job by taste-testing them.There’s a hint of cinnamon to level things out and it’s tempered with wonderfully tart rhubarb and sweet raspberries.
