Whitley Neill’s rhubarb and ginger gin built its reputation on being easy to like, and the 0.0% version keeps that bargain. The rhubarb gives it a tart, jammy top note and the ginger warms up the finish enough that you notice something happened — a common failure point for alcohol-free spirits, which often just taste like flavoured water once the tonic goes in.
It is made in the UK on a spinning cone still, the same low-temperature technique wineries use to pull alcohol out without boiling off the flavour. At 26 kcal per 100ml and regularly under £12 a bottle, it is one of the cheapest ways into decent AF spirits.

Where to buy in the UK
Whitley Neill Rhubarb & Ginger 0.0% is one of the most widely stocked alcohol-free gins on UK supermarket shelves. Tesco lists it at £15, dropping to £12 with a Clubcard offer; Sainsbury’s carries it too, typically around £22 RRP for the 70cl bottle. It is also available via Amazon and most major supermarket websites, so it is one of the easier bottles on this list to actually find rather than order specially.
How to serve it
Serve over ice with a good ginger ale or premium tonic and a wedge of fresh rhubarb or a sprig of thyme if you have it — the rhubarb note holds up well against a slightly sweeter mixer, unlike drier alcohol-free gins that get lost. Because it is already flavour-forward, it does not need a heavy garnish to feel like a proper drink.
Storage
Unopened, it keeps indefinitely like any spirit-style product. Once opened, flavour is best within a few months — keep it out of direct sunlight and the cap on tight between pours.
How it compares
Against other AF gins on this site, it sits closer to the flavoured-spirit end than a classic dry gin like Tanqueray 0.0% — if you want something that tastes like a botanical gin first and a flavour second, our best alcohol-free gins ranking covers the full spread, and our Tanqueray 0.0% review is the closer-to-classic alternative.
