Simon de la RouviereTried non-alcoholic whiskey for the first time. It's awful. Rather not share the brand, but damn, definitely had higher hopes. Anyone tried non-alcoholic liquor?
G-J van Rooyen@simondlr Only gin, and then only with a mixer like tonic. The “Abstinence” brand is delicious
@gvrooyen I heard gins are actually decent alternative. I'll have to try.
Andrew Wade@simondlr Yep. Just coke and ice.
Rian van der Merwe@simondlr Yep, give https://wildertonfree.com/ a try! Not bad at all.

@rianvdm oooh thanks!
Matt Innes@simondlr Seedlip is good, flavours are complex & interesting. https://www.seedlipdrinks.com
@matt_innes oh wow. Looks great! Thanks!
@matt_innes tried the Seedlip Spice 94 & it's great with a tonic. 🙌. Pretty decent replacement I'd say (even though the tonic carries a lot of the weight).
@simondlr The Grove 42 is also well worth a try, has a nice mild bitterness to the finish (maybe from the Japanese Sansho peppers). I haven't tried the Spice 94 yet, but will do next time.
