The 10 Best Non-Alcoholic Gins in Canada (2027)
I’m Simon Poulin, co-founder of Upside Drinks. Here are my picks for 2027.
Looking for the best non-alcoholic gin? We went through every alcohol-free gin in stock at Upside Drinks and picked the 10 we recommend most: juniper-led London dry classics from the big names, floral and garden gins, a pink gin and four made right here in Canada.
Gin is the easiest spirit to enjoy without alcohol. In a gin and tonic, the botanicals and the tonic do most of the work, so a good alcohol-free gin can be almost impossible to tell apart.

London Dry vs Floral vs Garden Gin
London dry (Tanqueray 0.0, Beefeater 0.0, HP Juniper Classic, Free Spirits): juniper and citrus up front. The classic G&T.
Floral (Empress 1908, HP Juniper Floral, Gordon's Pink): softer, with flowers or red fruit. Great with a light tonic or soda.
Garden (NOA Garden Gin): herbs, cucumber and green pepper. Lovely with cucumber and a premium tonic.
How to Make the Perfect Non-Alcoholic Gin and Tonic
- Fill a large glass with ice: more ice means less dilution.
- Pour 50 to 60 mL of gin: non-alcoholic gins often need a little more than regular gin.
- Top with 150 mL of tonic: a light or Mediterranean tonic lets the botanicals shine.
- Garnish to match: lime for London dry, cucumber for garden gins, grapefruit or berries for floral and pink gins.
- Try a spritz: gin, non-alcoholic sparkling wine, a splash of soda and a lemon twist.
