Jessica Lace, head of Gordon’s Great Britain, said: “With the alcohol-free trend showing no signs of slowing down, we are delighted to offer a new alcohol-free alternative to Gordon’s Premium Pink Distilled Gin which allows consumers to enjoy the great flavours of Gordon’s but without any of the alcohol. 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. However, the fact that around one in five drinkers (7.9 million people) in the UK planned to partake in Dry January this year — as well as a more general trend away from alcohol consumption, especially among younger folk — means that Gordon’s had to hop on the wagon sooner or later. Enter Gordon’s Alcohol Free… 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. Although neither would call themselves a gin connoisseur, they're familiar with the sharp piney taste and lengthy finish of a classic Gordon's G&T.
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? 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.It's also important to know that Gordon's Alcohol Free 0.0% isn't entirely devoid of alcohol. Gordon's says that it contains no more than 0.015% ABV, so there is in fact a trace of alcohol in each bottle. 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. 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. As you can tell from the picture above, Gordon's Alcohol Free 0.0% is almost identical in appearance to Gordon's Special Dry London Gin.
What you should take from this is that you shouldn’t expect mad savings on this, or any similar drink, just because there’s no alcohol.See the results from when we assembled four of the UK's most reputable gin experts to find the best gin. 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. 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. 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.
