The Clean Liquor Company recently released its debut product, Clean Gin, as an extremely low-alcohol replacement for gin that boasts just two calories per each 25-milliliter serving. Clean Gin is bottled at 1.2% ABV and is prepared with classic botanicals like juniper, as well as orris root, ground cardamom, coriander seeds, angelica root, lemon zest, peppermint oil, ginger oil and cinnamon.
The product was created to offer a unique choice for those who are sober curious and wary of the many sugary and unhealthy options on the market. According to founder Spencer Matthews, "By including 1.2% ABV, we are able to capture all the character and taste of a great London Dry gin, so people can enjoy the occasion without any of the negative effects that go with alcohol; something many other brands can’t do."
