Piney juniper with a lift of lemon on the nose, then vanilla underneath and an elegant floral finish, which is a recognisably Tanqueray shape rather than generic botanical water. The pitch is straightforward, the same legendary botanicals behind Tanqueray London Dry Gin at 0.0 percent alcohol, and the brand describes the result as robust and flavourful in the way the original is. That matters, because most alcohol-free gin alternatives thin out the moment tonic hits them. It is built for mixing rather than sipping neat. The house serve is an alcohol-free gimlet shaken hard with plenty of fresh lime, though tonic and a lemon twist gets you most of the way. Keep the bottle refrigerated once opened, pour the same measure you would with gin, and accept that the warmth alcohol brings is the one thing missing.
