  There *is* actually a non-alcoholic Gin substitute called [Seedlip](https://www.seedlipdrinks.com/) which is made in a similar way; by passing steam instead of alcohol vapour through botanicals. Unfortunately I'm not sure how available it is outside of the UK.
  
  Please note that I am in absolutely no way connected to the company and have only tried a sip of a cocktail made with it in the past so YMMV.
