# Aromatic Gin Alternatives The Gnista Non-Alcoholic "Spirit" Takes After a Fine Spirit By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2019-11-25 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gin-alternatives References: [barmagazine](https://barmagazine.co.uk/uk-launch-for-swedish-non-alcoholic-spirit-gnista/) & [gnistaspirits](https://www.gnistaspirits.com/) Growing demand for non-alcoholic products is inspiring the creation of many new gin alternatives, including the premium, non-alcoholic "spirit" by Gnista Spirits. Inspired by fine spirits, this non-alcoholic option is said to have a rich aromatic profile with notes that are fresh, bitter, citrusy and floral. The versatile non-alcoholic gin spirit has the potential to be used as a replacement for alcohol in cocktails but it may also be enjoyed with tonic water or soda. As Erika Ollén, co-founder of Gnista Spirits, describes: "With our experience from the industry, we’ve seen how non-alcoholic alternatives have followed similar patterns as the vegetarian movement; today it’s no longer seen as uncool to actively opt out of alcohol at the party, but rather the opposite."
