1. Tanqueray Alcohol Free 0.0%, 70CL
For gin lovers who want the flavour of gin minus the alcohol, this is your best bet. Mix it up with tonic for a classic G&T. It contains the four key ingredients as the original London dry - juniper, liquorice, coriander, and angelica root emulating the same genuine flavours.
2. Caleno Dark & Spicy Non-Alcoholic Spirit
This gold liquid comes in as a great stand-in for rum. It’s zero sugar, gluten-free and vegan, and packs a punch with an exotic blend of pineapple, coconut, ginger, vanilla, kola nut & lime. Top it with ginger ale over ice & a squeeze of lime for a perfect take on the Dark & Stormy.
3. Clean W
A superb whiskey alternative, pick this flawlessly crafted zero-sugar, non-alcoholic take on Bourbon Whisky, with characteristic notes of oak and sweet vanilla.
The impact builds gently, with rich spice, fresh apple and figs on the taste giving way to a smooth long mouth coating finish.
