About this deal

A classic Negroni is made of three spirits: gin (London Dry), Campari and sweet (red) vermouth. That rich, delightfully bittersweet mix of citrus, herb and juniper can be recreated with a good alcohol-free gin, Crodino (an alcohol-free Italian Aperitivo with a very similar flavour profile to Campari) and non-alcoholic vermouth like Martini Vibrante - which is available online. The legal definition of gin states that the liquid must contain an alcohol level (ABV) of at least 37.5%. This new type of drink usually has an ABV (that’s the alcohol level) of between 0 and 5%. 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, 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…

It would be very difficult to make alcohol-free gin at home unless you happen to own a miniature still! This is because the process really relies on the distillation of an alcoholic base spirit to the point where all the alcohol has evaporated.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%. 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. 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.

And here’s where the process changes from the usual: whereas a standard-strength gin will be diluted by about half, in these situations the liquid will be more heavily diluted by the distiller, by adding much more water, and this brings the overall alcohol content of the liquid much lower. Best of all, you can drink it while writing a review and make it to the end coherently. Cheers to that. 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.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.

See the results from when we assembled four of the UK's most reputable gin experts to find the best gin.Both of our testers are gin lovers who were both planning on doing Dry January until this taste test assignment came along, which they couldn't resist. 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.
