GINSIN 12 Botanics Gin Alcohol-Free 0.0% Non-Alcoholic Spirit, Mocktail Mixer, From Spain 700ml

I glad to have discovered a gin alternative that I really enjoy. I've tried several brands in the past, but none of them really worked for me. I used to mix different kinds of gin or add other ingredients to make it more palatable, but with this brand, all I need is some tonic and I'm satisfied. It's a great feeling to have found a drink that I can enjoy without any extra effort.

This product, GINSIN Premium 12 Botanics, bears absolutely zero similarity to the juniper & other botanicals infused alcoholic distillation Gin. By it's label, it is a soft drink with water, sugars, flavors, citric acid, and artificial blue coloring. It presents absolutely zero flavor of juniper, and no distinctive essence of any other botanical, on its own, with ice, or mixed with water, or mixed with tonic water. If you are looking for a non-acoholic or low-alcohol substitute for Gin, do not waste your time and money on GINSIN Premium 12 Botanics, because it has zero resemblance to Gin in any & every way. Though not unpleasant with ice & tonic water, the GINSIN adds nothing of value flavor-wise to the tonic water, and is really just be a waste of premium tonic water. The GINSIN Premium 12 Botanics was a total waste of $27.99 from the BeClink on Amazon.com. Unless you just have to have non-alcoholic, and do not care that GINSIN tastes absolutely nothing like Gin, do not waste your money on GINSIN when you can buy a 750ml bottle of any other quality Gin for the same money or less.

Don’t use more than a thimbleful, of course. But splash diet tonic in a crystal tumbler over ice and four pieces of lime squeezed into it, followed by a tiny bit of that blue magic and you can sit down to that feeling you’re doing something nice for yourself. And I am, on two levels. I’ve lost twelve pounds and my health indicators are through-the-roof-good, and I feel wonderful. After twelve years in Europe, I was obsessed with fine wine. I loved the ritual and the taste though I never drank to get a buzz. I LOVE drinking but I have now learned, at age 60, that what I drink doesn’t have to have alcohol in it. I’m so surprised. I’m now drinking a Ronsin ‘rum’ by the same mfgr and I’ve put it in a cup of orange blossom tea —- I feel like I’m in Germany: “Einmal tee mit Rhum, bitte!” The key is limit the amount you put in the glass. And, having it alone doesn’t really work but who needs that?!? Thank you for this gift to my health and my life. I’m having so much fun not drinking!!!

Interesting to read the previous reviews. I found it light, refreshing, and a great way to enjoy an evening cocktail or two without the effects of alcohol. I don't drink anymore, and was missing the "end of a crazy day" cocktail. A splash of Ginsin, squeeze of lime, lots of ice and tonic makes for a good cocktail. No, it doesn't have certain botanical notes, it doesn't taste like Gin exactly because.....wait for it.....it ISN'T GIN! But, as an alternative, it has great possibilities, although, it should be used as a base for drinks, not great as an "on the rocks".

Had high hopes even up to the point where i opened the Listerine looking bottle and took a sniff! Then I took a taste and was terrible disappointed. I understand it is not Gin, but it is supposed to taste like Gin and I am sorry, but it does not. Smells just a little like it due to the botanicals involved. My hunt continues.....

Love this mocktail gin it’s perfect for dry January… with options like this I can definitely stick to my goal easily. Flavor is fantastic and love the spirit color.

All of these reviews are going to be subjective, and I would usually try to be a little more balanced and look for the redeeming qualities in any comestible, but this one is pretty bad. It's EXTREMELY sweet, so much so that I can't really taste what is supposed to be "gin-like" or "botanical" - neat, over ice, with club soda. I really would get much the same effect from simple syrup, water and a few drops of blue food coloring. I mean... they tasted this before trying to sell it, right? In any case, there are a number of non-alcoholic gin alternatives, all relatively expensive, some are pretty good. This one is not.

The idea is great. To my taste, it needs to redistilled or reinfused with more juniper. It's too floral without a strong juniper backing. It's refreshing with Tonic and I've been happy with it. But I'm currently trying to bring it up a level by muddling juniper and some coriander and letting it soak a few days.
