Seedlip is a British company that makes plant-based liquor substitutes for use in non-alcoholic mixed drinks.
Seedlip describes its products as "the world's first distilled non-alcoholic spirits". [1] They are sold in four varieties: "Garden 108" (peas and garden herbs), "Spice 94" (spices, citrus peels and barks), "Grove 42" (citrus and spices), and the newest "Notas de Agave" (prickly pear, lime and agave). [2] According to their labels, Seedlip products consist of water, "natural botanical distillates and extracts (15%)", the preservative potassium sorbate, and citric acid. [3] On their own, their taste has been described as "a sort of pleasantly pungent savoury-herby-medicinal water". [4] Claire Lower of Lifehacker was critical of the product, writing that it added little to mocktails and that its usefulness depended heavily on the mixologist's skills and on the other ingredients. [5]
Seedlip is one of the best-known [6] but also most expensive [7] brands in what is, as of 2020, the rapidly growing field of liquor substitutes. [7] Founded in 2014 by Ben Branson, a former luxury brand designer, [7] the company has been majority-owned by the multinational alcohol company Diageo since 2019. [8] The name derives from the seedlep or seedlip, a basket for carrying seeds while sowing.
In December 2020, British company Lockdown Liquor & Co announced its collaboration with Seedlip in making Grove Picante, Lockdown Liquor's first non-alcoholic spirit. Grove Picante is an inspired creation from Lockdown Liquor's Picante spirit and Seedlip's Grove 42 non-alcoholic spirit. The product had launched in the UK via Lockdown Liquor's website.
An alcopop is any of certain mixed alcoholic beverages with relatively low alcohol content, including:

Mezcal, sometimes spelled mescal, is a distilled alcoholic beverage made from any type of agave. The word mezcal comes from Nahuatl mexcalli, which means "oven-cooked agave", from metl and ixcalli. Traditionally the word "mezcal" has been used generally in Mexico for all agave spirits and it continues to be used for many agave spirits whether these spirits have been legally certified as "mezcal" or not.
Schnapps or schnaps is a type of alcoholic beverage that may take several forms, including distilled fruit brandies, herbal liqueurs, infusions, and "flavored liqueurs" made by adding fruit syrups, spices, or artificial flavorings to neutral grain spirits.

Liquor is an alcoholic drink produced by the distillation of grains, fruits, vegetables, or sugar that have already gone through alcoholic fermentation. Other terms for liquor include: spirit, distilled beverage, booze, spirituous liquor or hard liquor. The distillation process concentrates the liquid to increase its alcohol by volume. As liquors contain significantly more alcohol (ethanol) than other alcoholic drinks, they are considered "harder." In North America, the term hard liquor is sometimes used to distinguish distilled alcoholic drinks from non-distilled ones, whereas the term spirits is more commonly used in the UK. Some examples of liquors include vodka, rum, gin, and tequila. Liquors are often aged in barrels, such as for the production of brandy and whiskey, or are infused with flavorings to form flavored liquors, such as absinthe.
Tanqueray is a brand of gin produced by Diageo plc. It originated in London. While it does not command a sizable market share in its native market, its largest market is the United States.
Jose Cuervo is the best-selling brand of tequila, selling a fifth of the tequila consumed worldwide.
Flavored liquors are liquors that have added flavoring and, in some cases, a small amount of added sugar. They are distinct from liqueurs in that liqueurs have a high sugar content and may also contain glycerine.
An alcoholic beverage is a drink that contains ethanol, a type of alcohol and is produced by fermentation of grains, fruits, or other sources of sugar.

Alcoholic drinks are typically divided into three classes—beers, wines, and spirits—and typically their alcohol content is between 3% and 50%.

Geist is a distilled beverage obtained by maceration of unfermented fruit or other raw materials in neutral spirits, followed by distillation. This differs from fruit brandy, where the alcohol comes from fermenting the fruit's naturally occurring sugars. As such, geist can be made from a much wider range of materials, as it is not limited to fruits with sufficient fermentable sugars.
