Your guide to non-alcoholic gin

Gin lovers, meet the world of non-alcoholic gin—same great botanical flavours, just without the alcohol. Whether you’re after a refreshing G&T or a perfectly balanced cocktail, 0% gin is an alcohol-free alternative that delivers all the complexity and character of traditional gin, making it a brilliant option for any occasion.

Here’s everything you need to know about alcohol-free gin, from how it’s made to the best ways to enjoy 

What is non-alcoholic gin?

Non-alcoholic gin, also known as alcohol-free or 0% gin, is a spirit that captures the flavour of gin without the alcohol. It’s made using traditional gin botanicals, with juniper always at the core—because, by definition, gin isn’t gin without it. Distillers use various methods to extract and infuse botanical flavours into the liquid, resulting in a drink that delivers the same depth and complexity as the gin you know and love.

Our very own Beefeater 0.0 follows the same carefully-crafted process as Beefeater London Dry Gin. The key difference? The alcohol is carefully removed, leaving behind the full-bodied, aromatic flavour.

 

Tonic water’s origins trace back to the 19th century when British officers in India mixed quinine with gin to make it more palatable, creating the iconic gin and tonic. If you want to dive deeper into the history, check out this blog on the history of the gin and tonic.

 

WHAT DOES NON-ALCOHOLIC GIN TASTE LIKE?

Since gin is defined by its juniper-forward taste, non-alcoholic gin has those same piney, slightly peppery notes at its heart. The supporting botanicals bring balance—citrus for brightness, spices for warmth and earthy undertones from roots and herbs. The result is a layered, complex flavour that works just as well in a G&T as it does in cocktails.

Our very own Beefeater 0.0 stays true to our London Dry Gin recipe, with the same carefully selected botanicals. Expect the boldness of juniper upfront, balanced by zesty Seville orange and lemon peel, a hint of liquorice root for smoothness, and a touch of spice from coriander seed. The depth of flavour makes it an excellent choice for mixing, giving you that proper gin taste.

WHY DRINK NON-ALCOHOLIC GIN?

Non-alcoholic gin is a great option for anyone looking for a full-flavoured drink without the alcohol. It delivers all the character of gin, making it perfect for sipping all year round.

Whether you’re after something lighter to pair with a meal, looking for a go-to for long afternoons in the sun, or just want more choice in what you drink, alcohol-free gin fits right in. With its versatility and depth of flavour, it can be enjoyed exactly how you’d drink a classic gin.

WHAT IS THE BEST NON-ALCOHOLIC GIN?

When choosing the best non-alcoholic gin, it’s all about quality ingredients and authentic distillation methods. Look for a well-balanced botanical profile, with a strong juniper base, citrus notes and natural spice—just like you’d expect from a great gin.
