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

Product Information

So, drinking more than seven double measures of gin in a week would put you above the UK low risk drinking guidelines. Here are the special category awards… Gin and Tonic Awards Ceremony Best with Fever Tree Light Tonic 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'. 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. Just like in other alcoholic drinks, these are ‘empty calories’ with no nutritional value, so don’t benefit your body in any way.

For a drink to be sold as ‘gin’ in the UK, it has to be at least 37.5% Alcohol By Volume (ABV). 1 That means 37.5% of the drink is pure alcohol. A 50ml measure of Gordon's Alcohol Free 0.0% contains six calories, which is roughly the same as half a crisp.The world's bestselling London Dry Gin perfectly mixed with diet tonic, ready to drink in a 250ml can. But. Not all gins are equal. Some are definitely better than others in a G&T. And the point of this is to compare the most commonly available ones and rank ‘em. Mainly because it’s fun and an excuse to drink gin in the interest of science. A 50ml measure of Gordon's Special Dry London Gin contains 104 calories, which is roughly the same as two ginger nut biscuits. 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

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 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. What’s more, the calories people consume through alcohol tend to be additional to the calories they consume in the rest of their diet, rather than a replacement. That means you could be having lots of extra calories ‘passively’, or without thinking about it, which can lead to weight gain. 5 Drinking above the UK low risk drinking guidelines increases your risk of developing long-term health problems. It can damage your heart and liver, increase your risk of seven different types of cancer, and affect your appearance, fertility and mental health. How much alcohol is in gin?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). 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. 4 But the alcoholic strength of gin can vary a lot – the vast majority of widely bought gin brands are 40% ABV or above, and some – such as ‘small-batch’ or ‘boutique’ gins can be a lot higher.
