Sea Buckthorn is a luxurious alcohol-free spirit boasting rich, complex & bittersweet flavours that will excite your palate.
Bittersweet orange, aromatic herbs, and Sea Buckthorn berries give the drinker a relaxing evening sipper. “These flavours de-stress me at the end of the day” says Rose, “the long finish is like a good quality gin. I love it with bubbly tonic, ice, and a strip of orange zest”
Bax Botanics are proudly designed by nature and pay homage to the ingredients they use. Whether that be through sourcing organic and ethically grown herbs, using sustainable and recycled materials, or putting the plant front and centre on the bottle (yes, that’s a microscopic image of a plant cell). The unique Sea Buckthorn berries are the focus of this bold and concentrated alcohol-free spirit that brings an intensity you don’t always get in the non-alc category.
What does it taste like?
Nose: warming aromatics, fruity with fresh herbs
Palate: dry and bitter, complexity driven by the Sea Buckthorn berries, citrus notes of orange, depth from underlying herbs like rosemary & thyme and finishes with a subtle spicy & acidic bite
Conclusion: it is an award-winning spirit for a reason, it’s unique and bursting with flavour
Recommendations
It is essential to try the classic Bax & Tonic (1 part Bax, 3 parts premium tonic) over ice with a twist of orange zest but Sea Buckthorn also plays well with others. Try it in different variations of the non-alcoholic Negroni or with ginger ale.
“There’s a reason why this offering won a Great Taste Award – it truly does have a sublime flavour, as well as sleek packaging. Reminiscent of a gin, this fragrant spirit has notes of Mediterranean herbs (to me it smells of freshly picked rosemary) and berries. Another reason I love Bax Botanics is that it’s a small, sustainably run business with a real passion for delivering high-quality drinks at no detriment to the planet. Their other offering, Verbena, is also well worth checking out if something citrussy is more your bag.” @cosmopolitanuk

The sea buckthorn is genuinely the nicest non alcoholic or otherwise drink I’ve had in ages. It’s got such a sophisticated taste and REALLY tastes like a spirit. It’s not a compromise, it’s a choice. Can’t wait to try the other flavour!

Drink Bright –
One of the best alcohol free spirits I have ever had the pleasure of working with and mixing into drinks. Incredible with tonic or soda, and holds up really well in more complex cocktails. Citrus and savoury notes in perfect balance, the dry finish you hope for in a gin-adjacent spirit, all well rounded out with the deep, bittersweet orange backbone of the sea buckthorn.

I am trying to cut down booze and a few nights a week i have been substituting my usual drinks for a Sea buckthorn and tonic. It’s delicious and gives me the depth of flavour I’m looking for.

Absolutely delicious. I don’t like sweet drinks so trying to find a good quality non-alcoholic drink that actually feels like a good drink and not a glass of fizzy sugar is a dream. It is an excellent cocktail base and goes particularly well with ginger we think, Will definitely be trying the Verbena too.

Really enjoy the taste of Sea buckthorn and tonic with a dash of orange juice. Don’t miss alcohol at all. Also have been really impressed with the quality of customer service from Bax Botanicals. Would highly recommend.

Over the past 18 months I’ve tried pretty much all available alcohol free spirits and Bax Sea Buckthorn is the outstanding one for me. Great depth of flavour, natural taste and mixes well with tonic to make a very satisfying drink. It really is very good.

Really enjoyable in its own right and the best alcohol free alternative to G&T! A great gift for pregnant friends and perfect to be able to offer a grown up soft drink to guests.
