I normally have only one pour of whiskey a week...a mere 6cl / 2 ounces at that. Usually it’s lapschong tea or green tea every evening. But we had some friends and family over recently, of which many in there didn’t drink alcohol. So I got these Seedlips, hoping to make creative cocktails. These are expensive...about $25USD per bottle...so unless you really don’t drink, these are even pricier than gin. This one here is called Grove, because it’s distilled from citrus fruits, only then to have the alcohol removed. I tried mixing this with a lemongrass/ honey / ginger scrub I made, but honestly —-this was just subtlety flavored water. The non-drinking folks ( like my wife, who’s actually medically allergic to alcohol, and has never had a drink in her life, except one where she found out she was allergic ), even thought this was flavored water. Out of the three offerings, this was the worst...most expensive flavored water you’ll buy.

Hmm smells like a citrus surface/kitchen spray cleaner. Taste is like a watery fruit burst lolly. Not good by itself and tonic overpowers. Avoid.
