Product Information

Moving on from flavour, it does land a solid and weighted mouthfeel. On mouthfeel alone, it is one of the better more viscous non-alcoholic spirits on the market. We’ve all thought it: without the booze inside the bottle, why am I paying so much for this drink?! Well, there’s a clue to the answer in the production process we’ve explained above. When creating these alcohol-free alternatives to gin, many of the best craft producers are using all the same strict methods, equipment and high-quality ingredients that they would to create a bottle of real gin. Good, craft alcohol-free gin will still have all of the delicious characteristics (i.e. botanicals and flavours) of full ABV gin. Hooray!

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. This is why it is probably worth spending a little bit more, and choosing beverages from a trusted craft gin distiller, when selecting your no- or low-ABV ‘gin’; hopefully, it’s a sign that your drink will have been crafted with real care and premium ingredients. Is alcohol-free gin harmful? It’s the use of these botanicals - particularly juniper, which is legally required to be the dominant flavour of gin - that helps the final product to taste similar to the real thing.

That said, many do make a very pleasant and refreshing alternative that’s the closest you’ll get to a real G&T! How do you drink alcohol-free gin? This brand-new “no and low” range is a way for Clubbers to experiment with even more tasty new tipples! Here’s everything you need to know… What is alcohol-free gin? 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. 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%. 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.

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

Gordon’s alcohol free gin review: quick summary

However, I did sort of miss the slight astringency of real gin when you’ve added the tonic. While the juniper and quinine bitterness does keep the fake stuff adult, there’s a certain va-va-voom missing here.
