Home Farm Gin releases Norfolk's first non-alcoholic gin

Home Farm Gin, owned and operated by Paul Dunnett and Nev Leverett, has celebrated the launch of Home Farm Zero, its non-alcohol take on the popular spirit. 

In the works for more than a year, the duo employed the help of a top Scottish food researcher to fully develop its taste, a process which they found "incredibly challenging".

Mr Dunnett said: "We're really excited for the launch of our new gin.

"We've worked really, really hard on it and are really proud of what we've come up with.

"When mixed with tonic, it tastes exactly like alcoholic gin."

Made with juniper berries, aniseed and almonds, Mr Dunnett attributes Home Farm Zero's "special kick" to its chilli infusion, which he says perfectly replicates the effect of alcohol.

Founded in 2019 in Hethersett, Home Farm Gin won a silver medal at the World Gin Awards 2023 with its handcrafted London Dry, one of 20 to have reached the final of the awards.

As well as sponsoring the upcoming Norwich Cocktail Week, it will be entering its non-alcoholic gin into next year's World Gin Awards.
