April purchased this at the Münster Arkaden Biomarkt in June 2026. Not sure if this should be in the wiki at all, as it's alcohol-free. It _does_ contain, "Destillat aus Gin Botanicals", and is labeled as a "FREE GIN ALTERNATIVE". However, it will probably be drunk more like a soda pop, probably combined with some sparkling water.
Tasting notes: April - I had _hoped_ that this would tasted like the Juniper-flavored Dry-branded soda pop, where it had about half the usual amount of sugar and a strong juniper berry flavor.
It was not that. It's pleasant enough, but it's mostly just sweet and herby. I mixed in some sparkling water to make it more soda-pop like, and that knocked the sweetness down a bit, but it's still just sweet and herby, and doesn't really remind me of gin.
But I can believe that they _used_ base gin ingredients in this. I would have just preferred something that had a much smaller amount of sugar, and a stronger amount of juniper berry.
