Drinking should be about enjoying yourself, not overdoing it. But sometimes, full-strength spirits can feel a bit much, while alcohol-free options don’t quite hit the spot. That’s where mid-strength spirits come in—giving you the best of both worlds (especially our mid-strength gin).
At Session Spirit, we believe you shouldn’t have to choose between going hard or going home. That’s why we created a mid-strength gin that delivers all the flavour and character of a proper London Dry, just with a lighter touch that lets you drink your way.
And we’re not just saying that—Session Spirit is the only mid-strength spirit to win awards in full-strength spirit categories, proving that lower ABV doesn’t mean lower quality.
What Are Mid-Strength Spirits?
A mid-strength spirit sits between 20-30% ABV, making it lighter than traditional spirits (which typically start at 40% ABV), but still delivering the full flavour and experience. Unlike simply pouring a smaller measure of a full-strength spirit, or adding lots more mixer, mid-strength options are crafted to maintain balance, complexity, and depth while offering a more sessionable option.
Here’s why more and more people are making the switch to mid-strength — and why you might want to, too.
1. Enjoy Your Drinks Without Overdoing It
Drinking should be about flavour and fun, not excess. With Session Spirit at 25% ABV, you can still have a proper G&T or cocktail, just without the same heavy hit of alcohol.
By choosing mid-strength, you get to enjoy the moment without feeling like you’ve overdone it. Whether you’re having one or a few, you’re in control.
2. A Proper Drink Without the ‘All or Nothing’ Choice
For too long, drinking has felt like an either-or situation—full-strength spirits or alcohol-free. But what if you want something in the middle?
That’s where mid-strength spirits come in. With Session Spirit, you get a proper drink with all the depth and flavour you love, just at a more balanced strength. No need to water it down, no need to feel like you’re missing out.
And the quality? Session Spirit has proven itself against full-strength competitors, winning awards in full-strength spirit categories—something no other mid-strength spirit has done.
3. More Flavour, Less Burn
Did you know high-alcohol spirits can sometimes overpower the delicate flavours in your drink?
With a mid-strength gin like Session Spirit, you can actually taste every note. Our blend of juniper, cardamom, coriander, and black pepper creates a smooth, citrusy-spiced gin that’s bright, bold, and balanced—without the burn.
And since it’s the only mid-strength spirit to win in full-strength categories, you can be sure it’s crafted to deliver big on taste.
4. Enjoy Yourself for Longer
Ever had to slow down or tap out early at a wedding, festival, or long summer BBQ because the drinks caught up with you?
With mid-strength, you can pace yourself properly. A G&T made with Session Spirit has the same ABV as a beer, meaning you can keep drinking, keep socialising, and actually make it to the last dance.
5. Feel Fresher the Next Day
Let’s be honest—no one likes waking up feeling rough. While we’re all for a good night, mid-strength spirits help you enjoy yourself without regretting it in the morning.
With Session Spirit, you still get the full experience of a proper drink, but with less of the heavy after-effects that come from high-proof spirits.
The Future of Drinking is Mid-Strength
More people are choosing mid-strength spirits because they give you more choice. You still get the flavour, the experience, and the fun, just at a pace that works for you.
And with Session Spirit, you’re getting a multi-award-winning mid-strength gin—the only one to win in full-strength spirit categories.
