From the Salcombe Distilling Co. folks down on the south west coast comes a fantastic non-alcoholic spirit - New London Light 'First Light'. Eschewing alcohol but definitely not eschewing flavour, this expression brings together juniper, ginger and habanero, alongside 15 more hand-picked botanicals, including the likes of orange, sage, cardamom and lemongrass. Wonderfully versatile, New London Light is great for using in mixed drinks (as you might expect, it does very well with tonic garnish with a slice of fresh orange and a sage leaf) as well as non-alcoholic cocktails. Incredibly impressive stuff, this.
Clear juniper and orange, with a floral waft of rosemary. An enjoyable warmth develops, with ginger and a prickle of pepper. Grassy freshness and a touch of anise lingers.

I tried some other non-alcoholic spirits back in January and was really disappointed. None of them taste as good as the real thing. My friend is a massive Salcombe Gin fan and insisted I try this new release, it really does taste fantastic. I'm 5 days in to Sober October and don't feel like I'm missing out on anything. This really is a game changer!
Look no further - this is absolutely banging! I don't drink and this is the first time I've been able to give a 5* review to an alcohol free spirit - and I've tried a lot!!!
Wow! This is delicious - I've tried quite a few non alcoholic spirits so far and have until now always either found the taste lacking or unpalatable. But New London Light is the first one that has really changed this for me - a real variety of flavour and when served as recommended with tonic and a garnish of orange & sage it is lovely and refreshing - would highly recommend.
