The Spirit of Gin

I received excellent service from the seller of this product. The product itself however tasted horrible. It does not taste like liquor. If you are looking to curve cravings due to alcohol addiction, stick to the 0% beer that can be found at your local grocery store. Happy sobriety!!

I am a martini lover but I limit myself to 2 or 3 a weekend. I thought non-alcohol spirits would be a good alternative for weeknights. I opened the Free Spirits Gin with anticipation. It initially smelsl and tastes a little like gin. However, within seconds there is a citrusy - chemical taste that overwhelms all other flavors. I have smelt better household cleaners. I made it through four sips before dumping out the entire bottle. I do not think there is an acceptable alternative out there. I have read similar reviews about the other brands of no alcohol "gin".

The gin is pretty good. It almost tastes like it's own little cocktail on its own. Doesn't exactly taste like gin but that's expected. Tasted like a spicy lemon martini but maybe a little sweeter than I'd prefer. I could see it working alright in something else. Way better than the whiskey they make.

Ive been on the hunt for a non-alcoholic gin that actually tastes like gin (which has been surprisingly hard lol) and this one totally nails it. The juniper aroma and hints of lemon peel and cardamom give it that classic gin vibe, with a slightly spicy finish that’s awesome. It’s smooth enough to sip on its own with a splash of tonic, but also mixes perfectly in cocktails -- I made a gimlet with it that was indistinguishable from the real thing. What's amazing is how versatile it is. Some nights I’m all about an alcohol-free drink, and this totally hits the spot. Other times, I’ll add just a splash of regular gin to keep it light but still feel like I’m treating myself. either way, I get to enjoy my usual cocktail routine without feeling like I’ve overdone it. It’s a great choice for when I want to enjoy a cocktail and still feel good about it. Plus, the bottle looks great on my bar cart haha. Recommend giving this a try!!

Ok. This does not taste like gin. But, mixed with something else, it does give you the experience of having an adult beverage. I did try making an na martini and it was just meh because it is not gin-like other than being clear. The olives helped. It might do well for a bloody mary. I’ll try that next. I love that no hangover is involved, it’s low in calories, and one martini does not lead to another the way actual gin does. It IS pricey and that is not a compliment but I expect it to last me a while so I’m ok with what I paid for the experiment. What I taste when trying it straight is first citrus, second water, and third heat (like pepper). Bottom line: yes I think I will use this product because it gives the experience of a cocktail without alcohol. I am delighted to discover that that is what I was after all along — not the alcohol. And, who knows? — maybe I will find it to become an acquired taste. Update: I have found, after few weeks of sipping, that the taste of this product has grown on me. I enjoy a “martini” with a lemon twist. Olives just didn’t work for me with this. Nice and cold, it’s a pleasurable cocktail experience. Glad to have tried it. …another point: the bottle is attractive and it’s massive so there is less product than it seems. Kind of deceptive but, hey, you get a nice bottle.

This alcohol free gin is awful. I shouldn't even give it one star. I doesn't take anything like real gin and has a horrible after-taste. Don't waste your time.

Listen, this is not gin, but it is a delicious substitute. The first sip of my first "gin" and tonic left me a little underwhelmed as it does not have quite the rounded mouth feel that an actual gin has. But I found the cocktail to be very enjoyable, and everyone after that to be more so. I think it's an outstanding substitute and have started a subscription.

It does add a bit of flavor to some tonic water etc., but we won’t buy it again. I truly appreciate that they tried to provide for those of us that prefer to avoid alcohol.
