I love beer, but NA beer just doesn't do it for me. I've had vir-gin cocktails before, and the strong juniper taste seemed to carry the main flavours a lot like actual gin. I've never tried it straight up, but I'm curious if there are any compelling options out there.

Sometimes I just want to sip something that has a bit of bite, and isn't water or sweet. Whiskey fills that spot right now, and I'm curious what else is out there.
I buy Seedlip.
It has the strong juniper taste as you've mentioned but can be good with the right mix.

I do equal parts Seedlip, Soda Water & 10 calorie Sunrype juices (grapefruit is my favourite).
Works out to about a 3 calorie drink and feels like a (girly) cocktail. I throw a rosemary sprig in when I'm really feeling wild.

Haven't yet found a mix that tastes like a more classic cocktail unfortunately.
