<p>There <em>is</em> actually a non-alcoholic Gin substitute called <a href="https://www.seedlipdrinks.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Seedlip</a> 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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>Is it possible to have a non-alcoholic gin?  Tastes like gin but without the alcohol.  Tonic on its own just isn't the same, but as the years go by I feel the need to minimise the 'volume' in my glass.</p>

Is it possible to have a non-alcoholic gin? Tastes like gin but without the alcohol. Tonic on its own just isn't the same, but as the years go by I feel the need to minimise the 'volume' in my glass.

Amongst others non-alcohol gins (gin alternatives) are [Brunswick Aces](https://www.brunswickaces.com/), [Herbie Virgin](http://herbiegin.com/en/) and to a lesser degree **Teetotal G&T** as it is a pre-mix.
