To the test: this is the best non-alcoholic gin

Say wine, snacks or haute cuisine and the gourmands at online food magazine FavorFlav know where to drink, how to eat it and what to cook. This time our cheffies serve you: non-alcoholic gin.

More and more ‘non-alcoholic gins’ are appearing on the market, but do they taste good? Together with Mr Cocktail, we put them to the test. And as a bonus, we immediately include a tasty recipe for a vir'gin cocktail. Cheers.

Non-alcoholic gin
In our previous video, we told you exactly what non-alcoholic gin is and why you shouldn't call it that at all. In the video below, we take it a step further. We sniff seven non-alcoholic gins (oops, breaking the law!) and select the tastiest ones.

By the way, we do this by first tasting the different non-alcoholic gins pure (of course, you don't drink it pure, just like with a gin, you add a mixer here). Wondering which bottle to buy for a virgin G&T? See which one comes out best in the test here.

This is how to make a tasty non-alcoholic gin tonic
As you can see in the video, there are several non-alcoholic gins that you can feel free to stock up on. The price does take some getting used to, because at an average of twenty-four euros, non-alcoholic gin is not cheap. But a fine alternative for when you're the bob, pregnant, on medication or just don't want alcohol but do want a nice virgin cocktail, it is. Seedlip has an edge with us because of its beautiful bottle. The drink is made the same way as gin, distilling all sorts of botanicals, but with an alcohol-free end result. A spirit, but one without the booze, in short. Ideal for a fresh G&T and a fresh head the day after.

This is what you need
50 ml Seedlip Garden
125 ml Fever-Tree Elderflower tonic
optional: sweet peas (one handful)

Mix Seedlip in a long drink glass with the Elderflower tonic, the elderflower naturally makes the tonic a little sweeter and more floral. Optional: throw in a handful of peas.
