Alcohol-Free Drinks Worth Buying
Honest picks. No filler. We only list what we’d actually drink.
🍸 Alcohol-Free Gins
Editor’s Pick
Seedlip Spice 94
The one that actually tastes like gin. Cardamom, allspice, pepper. Works in a G&T without apology.
~£28 / 70cl
Lyre’s Dry Gin
Juniper-forward, classic profile. Cheaper than Seedlip and genuinely solid in a G&T. The safe crowd-pleaser.
~£22 / 70cl
Ceder’s Wild Rose
South African botanicals. Floral and light — better for those who find Seedlip too heavy. Good with elderflower tonic.
~£20 / 50cl
🍺 Alcohol-Free Beers
Editor’s Pick
Lucky Saint Lager
Unfiltered 0.5% lager. The one that actually holds up at a pub table. Clean, light, properly bitter finish.
~£28 / 12-pack
Guinness 0.0
Cold-filtered stout. Tastes like the real thing poured at a slightly off temperature. Best in a can, not bottle.
~£6 / 4-pack
Erdinger Alkoholfrei
German wheat beer with electrolytes. Popular with runners. Tastes like a proper weissbier — which it basically is.
~£22 / 12-pack
🥃 Spirits & Everything Else
Lyre’s American Malt
The closest thing to bourbon without the alcohol. Caramel, vanilla, oak. Works in a mock Old Fashioned.
Seedlip Grove 42
Citrus-forward. Mandarin and lemon peel. Brilliant in a spritz or with tonic over ice. Summer essential.
Clean Co Clean R (Rum)
AF rum that actually stands up in a mojito. Not as complex as the real thing but the best available right now.
Fever-Tree Light Tonic
The tonic matters. Don’t pair a £28 bottle with supermarket own-brand. Fever-Tree Light is the standard.
