Seedlip earns mixed reviews: the brand delivers aromatic, gin-adjacent botanicals that mix beautifully into tonic- or soda-based mocktails, yet often lacks the bite, body, and lasting flavor many expect from alcohol alternatives. Reviews praise Garden 108 and Spice in cocktails and the elegant packaging, while calling out flat or soapy notes (especially Notas de Agave), faint taste unless heavily mixed, and a fleeting finish that can make drinks feel like herb water.

I enjoy the Seedlip Garden, but the Notas de Agave is inferior to my favorite NA tequila. The Garden is nice in a citrusy mocktail, but the tequila didn’t quite have an anchoring flavor that was missing from my NA margarita. I’d be happy to drink any mocktail that used Seedlip.


Friend and guest of the show Marissa Le aka Yolo Ono, gifted me this and I had it for New Years Eve 2023. I thought it would hit but it was mid. The flavors are intense. I appreciated though.

Felt like I drank vegetables than non-alcoholic. Very strong scent.

I haven’t tried the other Seedlips, but did have the Garden 108 mixed with an Avec Yuzu & Lime - Refeshing and bright with some hops and herbal undertones. Reminds me of a Gin Rickey and although I would never order gin if I was going the alcohol route, I really liked this. Going to become one of my go-to wind down beverages for the week and easy cocktail with friends on the weekend.

Wish the price point was a little lower - it’s not saving me any money from not purchasing alcohol. Also wouldn’t drink this alone - need to have a mixer if only sparkling water. But taste is great, complex and satisfying.

I really wanted to live this non alcoholic alternative for a gin & tonic. Unfortunately it just didn’t taste good enough to justify the price.

I wanted to cut back on my drinking and heard that Seedlip was a good, alcohol-free alternative. To me, it tastes like herb water they serve me at the spa. I was bummed that I paid like $35 for herb-flavored water. Ok, it's "distilled" but I honestly can't taste the difference.

This beverage needs some kind of bite. When I'm looking for an alcohol alternative, I want something that makes me FEEL like I'm drinking without actually drinking and the mouthfeel is missing for me. It would be interesting if there was some "feel good" herb or nootropic for a lift or relaxation.

Love all of the flavors. So light and refreshing and easy to dress up with fresh herbs and freshly squeezed citrus

It’s expensive for water. I chilled it first and couldn’t taste a thing which is how you would make a cocktail. Then I had it at room temperature and the complex flavor profile sang. But who wants to drink room temperature water. One flavor was just disgusting. Not sure if mixing it with juice or tonic would be helpful.

Incredibly beautiful packaging and a product that is multi-layered and amazingly sophisticated with different, delicious flavours. As someone that cannot drink, this beverage has been so needed and I’m thrilled it exists and buy it often for myself and for others.
I recently cut back on my drinking, and was looking for suitable spirit replacement options to make cocktails with. Seedlip was one of the few available options in the marketplace when I was looking, so I gave it a try. I would say it's drinkable, but not enjoyable. With NA spririts I'm not trying to recreate the taste of classic alcohol-based cocktails, I'm simply trying to make a mocktail that is enjoyable and tastes/drinks like a cocktail. Seedlip has an interesting taste that didn't seem to lend itself to the creation of a good mocktail. It was okay, but had a bit of a strange aftertaste, and texture. I didn't buy it again.

I'm not sure how the recipe is testing in focus groups, but I would continue to test actual cocktails in the focus groups to see if it lends it's self to the simple creation of a good mocktail.
Delicious. Great alternative to spirits. My only issue is it costs the same as spirits. So... my decision making around drinking less (saving money, healthier, etc) loses the saving money factor. Great treat for friends who are pregnant/sober, etc.
I love that Seedlip were the original non-alcoholic spirit brand and the way it's designed looks really grown-up and desirable. I also like that it's available in lots of restaurants as a booze alternative.
Feedback
Not much variety in the flavours
To me, the smell of the spirits was stronger than the taste itself. The smells lends itself well to most drinks, but does not add any flavor to the drinks themselves - mocktails or cocktails.

Seedlip is an interesting one. On its own it tastes pretty soapy but mixed with some tonic or ginger ale, something bubbly, it really shines. I'd compare it to gin, it's very botanical. If you like gin or very botanical flavors you'll love Seedlip.
Feedback
I'd love more flavors
This was the very first alcohol alternative brand I've tried. The botanical had a weird taste on its own but actually tasted great in a cocktail. Could be a great alternative for days where you want to enjoy a cocktail but not have all the alcohol negative side effects.
It tastes good, and I love the different flavors and the fact that it’s unsweetened (unlike many other spirit alternatives). I usually have it with sparkling water and a fruit or cucumber. While it has lots of botanicals like gin, it obviously doesn’t taste exactly the same, so keep an open mind when trying.

Great non-alcoholic spirit and replacement for adult drinks.
It was a great surprise when I first tried the cocktail made with Seedlip- how could a non-alcoholic cocktail taste so good?! I then went back to the bar and tried all the flavors.

I wish they had a larger range- can't wait to try more of Seedlip!

These are my favorite NA spirits. I really like the garden with a zero-sugar ginger ale or the spice with Coke.

Seedlip is my favorite non-alcoholic spirits brand. I find that their flavors are the most versatile, while other brands pretty much dominate whatever mocktail you might make. Pretty expensive, though.

I wanted to like Seedlip and get on board with the nonalcoholic spirit train, but these don't compare to the real thing. Each spirit I have tried might smell like the alcohol it's trying to imitate, but certainly does not taste like it. You might as well skip adding alcohol to any mocktail you make if you are considering adding this to the drink
