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.
