We have had such a huge demand that our alcohol-free drinks shop, as well as many bars and restaurants, ran out of stock shortly after it arrived. We ordered more, thinking that perhaps we were being overly optimistic, and we sold out once more! Don’t worry, it won’t happen again, we have the Tanqueray 0.0 stocked to the rafters.
The success is due to the fact that this an alcohol-free gin that has been crafted to taste just like its higher-proof sibling. It is now available on our online store! The big distilleries are joining the 0% movement, just like we saw that Bacardi did last October…

At The Blue Dolphin Store we are very gin-loving, something that is somewhat evident from our wide range of nebrin-based distillates. This is the name of the fruit of the juniper tree.

The Anglosaxon Lyre’s Dry London, won a bronze medal at last year’s San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Tanqueray 0.0 has stood out in our large family of non-alcoholic gins because of its immediate public acceptance. We are probably happily responsible for the fact that half of all households in the country now have a bottle of Tanqueray 0.0, for a responsible and delicious gin and tonic.
The same classic recipe, but an alcohol-free gin
According to Tanqueray, its alcohol-free gin is made with the same combination of botanicals used in the “traditional” Tanqueray: angelica, coriander, nebrina and liquorice. So it seems the only difference between the two is that the new version does not contain a drop of alcohol.
Founded in Bloomsbury, London, in 1830, Tanqueray continues to keep alive the spirit of exploration and innovation of its founder, Charles Tanqueray. As Terry Fraser, Tanqueray’s master distiller, said in a statement “Our expert innovation team has combined years of experience and historic distilling expertise to create an incredible experience, a non-alcoholic gin. Botanicals are individually steeped in water, heated and distilled before being expertly blended to capture the essence of Tanqueray in a delicious non-alcoholic alternative. This special distillation process is a closely guarded secret, known to only a handful of people, and we are very proud to offer gin drinkers that juniper and citrus flavour they expect from Tanqueray when they choose not to drink alcohol”.
Gin fun facts
Many believe that gin is British, given how popular it is in the United Kingdom, but it is actually Dutch. Its creator was the scientist Franciscus Sylvius, who prepared the first gin distillate to treat medical problems such as lumbago, gallstones and gout. It soon spread to the UK, and then to the rest of the world.
Gin and tonic was created in the British colonies. The tonic water of the time was a drink containing quinine, a substance very effective in preventing malaria, but had a very unpleasant taste. The first colonists added a splash of gin to make it taste better, and so, for medicinal purposes, perhaps the most famous drink in the world was created.
