to think that £26 for non Alcoholic gin is !!!!!!!!

[Girlwhowearsglasses]

Seedlip 'distilled non-alcoholic gin'. I'm having a dry few weeks and thought it might be nice.

£26 in M&S
!!!!

[Readysteadygoat]

I'm not sure how they justify it, though I guess people must be buying it for it to be stocked in M&S?

Has anyone actually tried it?

[EL8888]

I’ve tried it. It’s not great, it’s quite watery and lacking in taste

[Missmarplesknitting]

The cedars in Sainsbury's is just as nice. I think it's £16

[Brownzy]

I bought it in a pregnancy desperation.

It's shite.

[MariaTheMartian]

I’ve tried a non-alcoholic gin from pizza express. It was nice, but not worth what I paid for it. I’d have preferred the alcoholic variety tbh, but I was pregnant at the time.

There is no way I would buy non-alcoholic gin now I’m not pregnant and certainly not at that price.

[redannie118]

I bought it for my sister who asked for it for Christmas. She said it was lovely but I agree 26 pound for what is essentially water and Sloe juice is a fecking disgrace !!

[Ponchie]

save your money, it’s vile

[Rememberallball]

These is one called Sea Arch that has been recommended by a friend who is also pregnant - it’s £26:99 a bottle so same price as Seedlip which I tried recently on holiday - might try the Cedars one mentioned by a PP and see what it’s like!!

[TeddyIsaHe]

Fucking hell! I’d just have rhubarb cordial in ginger ale and pretend. £26!!!

[ContinuityError]

And you can still get a bad head from it

[ginghamstarfish]

Wouldn't pay that in a million years! I remember reading once that air hostesses used to do this if a passenger had already had too much to drink - pour tonic, ice, lemon etc, and rub gin around the edge of the glass (for the scent of it) ... apparently it worked and the drinker thinks they are drinking G&T. Might be worth a try?

[KittyVonCatsworth]

I don't understand the point. It's like going into pizza hut for the salad bar. £26 for non alcoholic gin, get tae fuck!!

[mindutopia]

It’s not even that nice. Just buy some tonic and put some fruit and fancy garnishes in it.

[fblake]

I saw it in Waitrose and considered giving it a try - then I read the reviews and decided against it! It's in 3 different flavours I think? All horrid apparently ☹️

[AlannaOfTrebond]

Going against the grain, I love it, tastes like an actual adult drink.

Yes it's expensive, but I can't drink at the moment and I like the flavour so happy to pay for something a bit more interesting than lime and soda or plain tonic water.

[fblake]

@AlannaOfTrebond which flavour did you try? X

[Steamedbadger]

I thought it was OK. I tried the original clovey one and the green one.

[vroc81]

They have their own brand one for about £2.50???!

Friend on medication says it’s an acceptable alternative

[AlannaOfTrebond]

@fblake I have a bottle of the spice version, which is my favourite one.

I tried all 3 in a deli that was doing samples. The citrus one was nice, but I thought there were a lot of premixed drinks already out there that tasted similar. The garden one tasted like I should be sprinkling it on top of food (like a large bunch of chopped fresh herbs)!

I'm not normally a gin drinker, so I just think of the Seedlip as a flavour I enjoy. Then again I also love Kombucha and herbal tea, anything not to be stuck drinking overly sweet soft drinks.

[polarpig]

I saw some very similar/the same in Waitrose and thought the same as you OP. I'd pay no more than £5 for it.

[fblake]

Thanks @AlannaOfTrebond 😊 x

[Jackshouse]

Seedlip is vile. Dont bother.

[UnderMajorDomoMinor]

£26 pound squash.

[TakingtheLeap]

Tesco does an excellent non alcoholic "gin" for £13 a bottle.

[TakingtheLeap]

Tell a lie, £19. Maybe it was on offer when I bought it...
