Gordon's London Dry Gin and Tonic 10 x 250 ml Ready to Drink Premix Can, Multipack

Product Information

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. Again, this could go one of two ways, but I settled on Tanqueray for its punch, its spunk. Sipsmith is bloody good too, though. Best Value Gin for Gin and Tonic How could this be anything other than Gordons? Sensational with Fever Tree Light and more than creditable with Regular Tonic too. Most Interesting Gin and Tonic

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. Firstly, we found that the gins resolve themselves into three groups fairly neatly, irrespective of the tonic with which they’re served. 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?The world's bestselling London Dry Gin perfectly mixed with diet tonic, ready to drink in a 250ml can. Just like in other alcoholic drinks, these are ‘empty calories’ with no nutritional value, so don’t benefit your body in any way.

The first group is the basic gin and tonics. These are characterised predominantly by citrus, and they are not surprising or particularly grabby. It’s difficult to ascribe a great deal of complexity to them in the G&T context, and they are differentiated predominantly by how well they balance the sweetness of the tonic (typically struggling to avoid a slight lemonadey quality). You could argue, therefore, that we’re not comparing like with like, and that, of course, the more expensive gins are likely to do better. In fact, you might be surprised to hear that a double gin and tonic made with a 50ml measure of gin contains around 153 calories. 3 Even switching to a diet mixer will still mean a high calorie drink – a double gin and diet tonic is estimated to have 112 calories. 4A 50ml measure of Gordon's Alcohol Free 0.0% contains six calories, which is roughly the same as half a crisp. A typical-strength single (25ml) measure of gin will have 1 unit of alcohol in it. If your drink has a double measure, that means double the amount of alcohol (and calories).

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. So, drinking more than seven double measures of gin in a week would put you above the UK low risk drinking guidelines. Two superb contenders here, but I’m giving the rusty Old Parn Ceremonial Corkscrew of Victory to Bombay Sapphire for a marvellously multifaceted G&T, with Gordon’s in the runner-up slot. Best with Fever Tree Regular Tonic Tanqueray was the winner of our 2012 taste test and again holds the top spot in 2019 (though this time sharing the honours). While Bombay Sapphire excels with light tonic, Tanqueray wins out with regular — which makes sense, given its more punchy, domineering character. It’s serious, strong, crammed with juniper. A G&T with proper weight to it. With light tonic, it’s still a fine drink: solid and powerful. However, unexpectedly, there was a slight (very slight) over-sweetness to this G&T which caused us to mark it down a little.
