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.
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%.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? 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. The Gordon’s Alcohol-Free gin has an extremely sweet overlay that makes it the sweetest non-alcoholic Gin I have tried. If you prefer a more traditional tasting option (that is easy to find in the UK) I, like I mentioned above, have written about Lyre’s Dry London Gin which you should read more about here.
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. If you’re looking for a sweeter profiled alcohol free gin this may be one for you, however, if you’re looking for other options, find yourself a new favourite in the post I wrote with over 20 non-alcoholic gin options! Of course, if you do want an alcoholic drink then we have options as well. Our selection of fine wines can turn any night into one of luxury. Whereas our ciders will bring out memories of the summer in your tastebuds.

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 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'. A 50ml measure of Gordon's Alcohol Free 0.0% contains six calories, which is roughly the same as half a crisp.
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. 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.
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.
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 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. Those watching their waistlines this January will be pleased to know that the alcohol free version contains just six calories per 50ml, meaning that the bulk of your calorie intake in this drink will come from the tonic water you use. 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.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… So it really comes down to whether or not you think drinks like this offer significantly more sophistication than a typical soft drink. If you do, then this is the best value for money you’re going to get. Is Gordon's Alcohol Free gin healthier than regular gin? 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.
