Production & Heritage

Seedlip pioneered the distilled non-alcoholic spirits category, and Spice 94 is the brand's warm, aromatic flagship expression. Production begins with a six-week bespoke maceration of each individual botanical — Jamaican allspice berries, cardamom, white oak bark, cascarilla bark, grapefruit peel, and lemon peel — before each undergoes two separate copper pot distillations. The first distillation removes any trace alcohol through evaporation; the second captures and concentrates the plant's essential character. This yields 36 total distillations across all six botanicals, which are then blended and filtered into the final spirit. The result is sugar-free, calorie-free, and entirely devoid of artificial flavors.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Pronounced clove arrives first, warm and almost Christmas-like, followed by a wave of sweet citrus and a faint undercurrent of allspice. There is a subtle woody quality from the white oak and cascarilla bark that grounds the overall impression.

Taste: The entry is bone dry and spice-forward, with cardamom and allspice dominating the early palate. At mid-palate, warm citrus notes — grapefruit and lemon — emerge to balance the bold spice, while earthy undertones from cascarilla bark add depth. The overall texture is layered and smooth rather than thin or watery.

Finish: Crisp and refreshing, with lingering hints of grapefruit zest and toasted wood. The spice warmth gently dissipates, leaving a clean, dry close that invites another sip.

How to Drink Spice 94

Spice 94 is best served long, over ice, with a premium tonic water and a twist of grapefruit or red orange for a simple, satisfying non-alcoholic G&T. Its warm spice profile also makes it surprisingly versatile in cocktail-style preparations.

• Non-Alcoholic Negroni: Spice 94's bitter, earthy character stands in convincingly for the spirit base when paired with non-alcoholic aperitif and sweet vermouth alternatives.
• Spiced Mule: The allspice and cardamom amplify ginger beer's heat, making a compelling zero-proof take on a Moscow Mule with fresh lime.
• Non-Alcoholic Old Fashioned: The oak and cascarilla bark backbone gives Spice 94 enough weight to hold up against aromatic bitters, sugar, and an orange twist.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Spice 94 taste like? Spice 94 is bone dry and spice-driven, dominated by warm cardamom and allspice with supporting notes of grapefruit zest, clove, and toasted oak bark. It finishes clean and crisp with no residual sweetness.

How does Spice 94 compare to Ritual Zero Proof Gin Alternative? Spice 94 leans heavily into warm baking spices and earthy bark rather than attempting to replicate a juniper-forward gin profile, making the two quite different in intent. Seedlip's production relies on 36 individual copper pot distillations of whole botanicals, while Ritual uses a proprietary process designed to closely mimic the taste of traditional London dry gin.

Is Spice 94 good for cocktails? Spice 94 works exceptionally well in cocktails that benefit from warm, aromatic depth — non-alcoholic Negronis, mules, and old-fashioned variations all showcase its strengths. Its dry, complex profile prevents drinks from tasting overly sweet or one-dimensional.

Where is Spice 94 made? Spice 94 is produced in England, United Kingdom, where each of its six botanicals undergoes maceration and copper pot distillation before blending and filtration at the Seedlip facility.

What foods pair well with Spice 94? Moroccan-spiced lamb tagine complements the allspice and cardamom beautifully. Grilled citrus shrimp echoes the grapefruit and lemon notes. Dark chocolate desserts play against the cascarilla bark's bitterness. Roasted root vegetables benefit from the spirit's earthy warmth, and aged hard cheeses like Manchego contrast well with the dry, spiced profile.

What sizes does Spice 94 come in? The standard bottle is 700ml, which is the most widely available format for Seedlip Spice 94.

Is Spice 94 worth the price? Spice 94 positions as a premium non-alcoholic spirit, and its price reflects the labor-intensive 36-distillation production process and high-quality botanical sourcing. For those committed to an elevated alcohol-free drinking experience — rather than simply mixing juice or soda — it represents a strong value within the top tier of the growing non-alcoholic category.

Why Spice 94?

The 36-distillation process is the single most important detail separating Spice 94 from the wave of non-alcoholic spirits that have followed it to market. That level of production intensity translates directly into a depth and layering of flavor that most competitors, relying on simpler extraction or infusion methods, struggle to match. The botanical selection — anchored by Jamaican allspice and cascarilla bark — gives Spice 94 a warm, savory identity distinct from floral or juniper-driven alternatives. For anyone building a serious non-alcoholic drinks program at home or behind a bar, this remains a benchmark expression in the category.
