Sometimes I’m in the mood for a cocktail, but not the alcohol in the cocktail. Others in the world of spirits must be on the same wavelength because there’s a new product in the UK called Seedlip, non-alcoholic spirits that add a mélange of flavors to tonic, soda, or a light carbonated beverage for a deeply satisfying non-alcoholic cocktail. Seedlip comes in two flavors – Garden and Spice – and it’s turning up in some of the hippest restaurants and bars around London.

There are endless variations on the drinks you can mix up, and I’ve included four to get you started. With the addition of a garnish or two, they are beautiful, delicious, and very healthy. And did I mention that Seedlip has no calories? This is my favorite new summer drink.
