And of course, because it doesn't contain alcohol, it's better for your liver, skin, immune system and mental health. Gordon’s Alcohol Free Gin review: the verdict 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. 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.

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. 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'. 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. 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. 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.

Gordon’s alcohol free gin review: full review

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? 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.

Best of all, you can drink it while writing a review and make it to the end coherently. Cheers to that.

Disclaimer

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. 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. 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. 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
