Aldi’s own-label spirits have a habit of embarrassing brands three times the price, and Greyson’s 0% London Dry follows the script. It leads with real juniper — still the rarest thing in alcohol-free gin — backed by lemon and lime, and it took a Silver at the International Spirits Challenge, which is not a medal they hand out for trying.
Mixed with a decent tonic and a wedge of lime it does about 80% of what a £25 AF gin does for a third of the money. The finish is shorter and a touch sweeter than a Tanqueray 0.0, but at £8.99 that is an easy trade. If you are AF-gin-curious, start here.

How to Serve
Treat it like any London Dry: 50ml over plenty of ice in a copa or highball, 150ml of a decent Indian tonic, and a wedge of lime rather than lemon — the lime picks up the citrus in the botanicals, where lemon tends to flatten it. Because there is no alcohol carrying the aromatics, it needs more ice and a slightly shorter pour of tonic than you would use with full-strength gin, or it thins out fast.
Where to Buy
Greyson’s 0% London Dry is an Aldi own-label product, sold at Aldi at £8.99 for the 70cl bottle. It is a permanent range line rather than a Specialbuy, so stock is generally reliable, though availability varies by store. We could not confirm a listing at Tesco, Sainsbury’s or Waitrose, or through the usual alcohol-free specialists — as an own-label line it is effectively Aldi-only in the UK, so there is no point price-comparing it elsewhere.
Storage & Shelf Life
No fridge needed before opening — store it upright, capped, out of direct sunlight. Once opened, the juniper and citrus are the first things to fade, so recap promptly and use it within a couple of months rather than leaving it open on a warm kitchen shelf for a year. Chilling the bottle before serving helps, since there is no alcohol to give it that cold-spirit bite on its own.
How It Compares
At £8.99 it sits well below the £15–£25 band most alcohol-free gins occupy. For a like-for-like on the supermarket-brand side, see our Tanqueray 0.0% review, or read our full ranking of the best alcohol-free gins to see where it lands against the rest of the category.
