Gin & Tonic

A Dutch-made alcohol-free gin and tonic RTD in a 250ml bottle, with natural juniper, lime, and quinine — the flagship of the Sir James 101 range.

About This Drink

Sir James 101 is a Dutch brand making alcohol-free RTD cocktails, and their Gin & Tonic is positioned as the range entry point. It is bottled in 250ml single-serve glass bottles, uses natural juniper and lime flavouring alongside quinine for the tonic character, and comes in at 38 calories per 100ml. The flavour profile does what it says on the label: there is a recognisable juniper and citrus note, backed by the mild bitterness of quinine. It is not a complex drink — the botanical depth is fairly one-dimensional compared to something like a Sea Arch or a Seedlip-based G&T — but it is an honest and functional AF gin and tonic in a convenient format. The carbonation is moderate and the mouthfeel is light. The main caveat is the sugar content, which sits at 9g per 100ml — this comes from glucose-fructose syrup in the base, and it gives the drink a sweetness level that sits above most proper tonic waters. That sweetness moderates the bitterness of the quinine, making it approachable but less interesting to those who prefer a drier tonic. Available from specialist AF retailers and some online importers; less common in UK supermarkets than better-distributed brands.
