While the Gordon’s Alcohol Free option was something that I was really rather excited to get into, particularly after trying the ready to drink options – which I thought owed their sweetness to the tonic. However, unless you’re as ditzy as me, you probably don’t care a jot what the bottle looks like. It’s all about how it tastes, after all. If you want to drink a beer, wine, or gin, but don’t want the alcohol, discover our no alcohol range. Many of your favourite brands and tastes are here, simply with zero-percent alcohol. So, whether your having a social drink or a beverage with dinner, you only have to miss out on the alcohol, not on the moment!
And I’m pleased to report that Gordon’s AF is rather tasty. All the notes you’d expect from a gin are definitely there, namely juniper berries (the dominance of which, of course, is what makes gin gin) and citrus. No, it’s not the most convincing gin taste in the world, but it does taste good, and has all the elements you’re looking for in a G&T. And because you’re pouring it from an iconic green bottle, mixing it with tonic and adding typical flourishes, the ritual of making a gin remains intact. After a December that can only be described as concerningly boozy, my taking part in Dry January has felt as much of a necessity as it has a choice. It’s also given me the ideal opportunity to write a Gordon’s Alcohol Free Gin review.Gordon's goes hard on the latter, including a lot of that specific sort of lemoniness that keeps you thirsty and leaves a pleasant, sweet aftertaste. Paired with tonic (or lemonade, in fact) it’s a very nice drink, and one suggestible enough that you can get creative with your garnishes. I opted for some lemon peel and fresh basil leaves, which added a nice dimension to it, while blush orange and star anise (above) worked a treat, too. I’d say the biggest pleasure is in the routine — putting the ice in the glass, pouring the gin, adding the tonic, garnishing and drinking. And in the same way long-term vegetarians insist that the aforementioned fake meat is indistinguishable from the real thing, I think that long enough drinking Gordon’s Alcohol free could convince you that this is what gin tastes like. In a press release, the manufacturer said that 'Gordon's 0.0% is created by distilling the same botanicals used in Gordon's Special Dry London Gin, capturing the essence of Gordon's in a delicious alcohol-free alternative'.
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. Gin is often a drink of choice for those of us watching our waistlines thanks to its slightly lower number of calories per serving when compared with other alcoholic drinks. The launch is part of the brand’s innovation strategy and follows the release of new products including Gordon’s 0.0% and flavoured bottlings Tropical Passionfruit and Morello Cherry. We are committed to providing choice for different occasions and we don’t think people should have to miss out on the flavour or the experience when choosing an alcohol-free drink.” 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%.A 50ml measure of Gordon's Special Dry London Gin contains 104 calories, which is roughly the same as two ginger nut biscuits. 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. The first thing I’d like to praise Gordon’s for is the fact that its non-alcoholic gin is very clearly distinguishable from its boozy counterpart.
