I love sober people.
(Seedlip is so popular, my dad called me to ask me about it.)
This is all fantastic.
There was a whisper of citrus flavor (and citric acid), but that was it.
I then tried Seedlip with ginger beer, and all I could taste was ginger beer.
I tried it with tonic, and all I could taste was (diluted) tonic.
I tried it with plain seltzer, and all I could taste was a weaker version La Croix.
My favorite sober person (my partner of three years) was at work, so I bulliedA.A.
Newton(who is now my neighbor!)
andhersober partner (lovely Thomas) into swinging by my apartment for an experiment.
To Seedlips credit, my tastersdidprefer the mocktail made with the Seedlip.
It has more going on, Thomas said.
Alice added that it tasted like a really good botanical lemonade.
Things were looking good for Seedlip, and then I let them try it on its own.
This tastes like barely flavored water, said Alice.
If I spent $35 on this, Id be pissed, added Thomas.
As they were leaving, I tried to give the now half-full bottle of Seedlip to Thomas.
He did not want it.
Seedlipdoesadd a little bit of something to mocktails, but its hard to say exactly what.
Seedlip has no edge, no bitterness, and no body.
Its too thin, too timid, and too safe.
My friend Brettwho quit drinking nearly two years agoseemed to have a holistic appreciation for the product.
As we get older, our bodies change, our needs change, and our tastes change.
Maybe you just want to see what a booze-free month is like.
Maybe thats the thing that helps you realize you need a booze-free year.
Or a booze-free life.
My friend Nicole recently took several months off from drinking and has had varied experiences with Seedlip.
I have had good mocktails with it at very good bars (in NY mostly).
Seedlip in its current iteration may not be necessary, but something like it is definitelyneeded.
