16 Best non-alcoholic gins you can buy in 2022

IF you love the taste of alcohol but the thought of a hangover makes you shiver, then may we bring to your attention some of the best non-alcoholic gins for your consideration.

Gin has become hugely popular again over the last few years for its floral, fragrant taste and how light it is paired with all different types of tonics.

It derives its predominant flavour from juniper berries and is a distilled alcoholic drink that originated as a medicinal liquor.

At the same time, more and more people are becoming tee-total or cutting back on their alcohol consumption, but that doesn't mean giving up on their favourite alcoholic drinks.

Known sometimes as 'clean gin' alcohol free options are full of the flavours that you would find in regular, alcoholic spirits but many either have a very low alcohol content or none at all.

So quench your thirst and say goodbye to dreaded hangovers with our best non-alcoholic gins to see you through party season and beyond.
