Product Information

Those looking to cut down on their alcohol intake will be pleased to discover that they can also significantly cut their calorie intake when drinking Gordon's Alcohol Free 0.0%. Gordon's is sold in several different strengths depending on the market. In the US, the strength is 40% ABV. Until 1992, the ABV in the UK was 40%, but it was reduced to 37.5% to bring Gordon's gin into line with other white spirits such as white rum and vodka, and to save the manufacturer the cost of excise duty, which is charged by reference to ABV. Other popular brands of gin in the UK, such as Beefeater Gin and Bombay Sapphire, are both 40% ABV in the UK. In continental Europe and in some duty-free stores, a 47.3% ABV version (Traveller's Edition) is available. In New Zealand and Australia, as of 2011, Gordon's is sold at 37% ABV, [14] while in Canada it is 40% ABV and South Africa it is 43% ABV. When you taste it “neat” is when this is most evident. Of course, unless you’re reviewing the drink like me or are doing so out of pure curiosity, you’re unlikely to try the “gin” by itself. It’s certainly more pleasurable to drink unpaired with tonic than actual gin is; after all, there’s none of that wincing pungency that alcohol is responsible for. Best of all, you can drink it while writing a review and make it to the end coherently. Cheers to that. Per 50ml (a double shot), Gordon's London Dry Gin — the stuff you're most likely to buy on supermarket shelves — contains 104 calories. A can of regular tonic will probably take that up to around 170 calories, while a can of slimline will take it to around 120.

This is a perfect companion to those doing Dry January, those who've made a new year’s resolution to ditch alcohol, or folk fancy filling a gin-shaped hole but don’t want morning headache. In the children's classic Danny, the Champion of the World (1975) by Roald Dahl, the main character and his best school-chum unwittingly catch their headmaster refilling what they'd always thought was a water-glass from a bottle of Gordon's Gin. The two boys privately discuss the matter afterwards, and agree to keep quiet about the man's being an alcoholic, since their headmaster has always been good to them. To put that into context - an entire 70cl bottle of Gordon's 0.0% contains less than 0.1 units of alcohol. Calories in gin: how does alcohol-free compare? Nose Both testers found Gordon's Alcohol Free 0.0% had a much stronger smell than Gordon's Special Dry London Gin, with sweet herby scents coming through with particular dominance.The Vesper " Summer Fruit Cup".

Johnnie Walker owner Diageo has launched an alcohol-free variant of Gordon’s gin made using the same botanicals as its core London Dry expression. Gordon’s 0.0% is made with the same botanicals as the brand’s London Dry gin In August 2017, Gordon's began selling Gordons Pink, a pink-coloured gin flavoured with several types of red berries. [16] I’m also a big fan of the fact that it’s easy to distinguish between the non-alcoholic and alcoholic versions of Gordon’s famous green bottle. You’re not going to take this home by mistake thinking that it’s the real thing.Anita Robinson, marketing director Diageo GB, said: “Our expert innovation team at Gordon’s has combined years of expertise and historic gin distilling knowledge to create a credible alcohol-free experience. The design is immediately recognisable as Gordon's, but there's little chance of mixing up the non-alcoholic version with its boozy counterpart. Taste Gordon’s, you will be unsurprised to know, claims to be the “World’s Favourite Gin”. Whether or not that’s true is up for debate, but it certainly is the world’s best-selling gin, which is a pretty stellar achievement when you take into account the fact that the spirit's popularity has been on the rise for nigh on a decade. However, I did sort of miss the slight astringency of real gin when you’ve added the tonic. While the juniper and quinine bitterness does keep the fake stuff adult, there’s a certain va-va-voom missing here. A 50ml measure of Gordon's Special Dry London Gin contains 104 calories, which is roughly the same as two ginger nut biscuits.
