Product Information

Ch, Victoria; ler (20 July 2017). "Gordon's has released a new gin – and it's pink!". Good Housekeeping.

Gordon's Distiller's Cut - A “luxury” version of the gin, released in 2004, with additional botanicals of lemongrass and ginger. Hirst, Christopher (9 July 1999). "Add anything but an umbrella". independent.co.uk . Retrieved 12 September 2022. Okay, so maybe it’s not technically a tonic, but we just couldn’t resist tempting you to turn your next G&T into a G&G. In addition to the main product line, Gordon's produces sloe gin; vodka (US & Venezuela only), two alcopop variants, Space and Spark; three vodka liqueur variants, Cranberry, Parchita and Limon (Venezuela only) and a canned, pre-mixed gin and tonic as well as a canned Gordon's and Grapefruit (500ml - Russia only). In the film The Sting (1973), Paul Newman's character pretends to drink Gordon's Gin from a bottle surreptitiously filled with water, whilst playing cards with Robert Shaw's character.

METHOD

For those who prefer a more traditional lemony base, go for Schweppes Bitter Lemon Tonic. Bringing the perfect citrus bite, this tonic is superb at uplifting any gin with its brilliantly refreshing zestiness. Gordon's is sold in several different strengths depending on the market. In the US, the strength is 40% ABV. Until 1992, the ABV in the UK was 40%, but it was reduced to 37.5% to bring Gordon's gin into line with other white spirits such as white rum and vodka, and to save the manufacturer the cost of excise duty, which is charged by reference to ABV. Other popular brands of gin in the UK, such as Beefeater Gin and Bombay Sapphire, are both 40% ABV in the UK. In continental Europe and in some duty-free stores, a 47.3% ABV version (Traveller's Edition) is available. In New Zealand and Australia, as of 2011, Gordon's is sold at 37% ABV, [14] while in Canada it is 40% ABV and South Africa it is 43% ABV. British Hypermarket was founded on the idea of offering high quality British food products combined with the highest levels of customer service. We recommend using this quintessential tonic as a blank canvas for trying out that bold new bottle of flavoured gin you’ve had your eye on. An elegant tonic that’s delicious on its own (but better in a G&T, naturally), Schweppes Tonic Water with Elderflower is infused with the subtlest floral sweetness.

Gordon's was Ernest Hemingway's favourite gin, which he claimed could "fortify, mollify and cauterize practically all internal and external injuries". [22]

INGREDIENTS

Gordon's London Dry Gin was developed by Alexander Gordon, a Londoner of Scots descent. [5] He opened a distillery in the Southwark area in 1769, moving in 1786 to Clerkenwell. [5] The Special London Dry Gin he developed proved successful, and its recipe remains unchanged. [6] [ failed verification] Popular with the Royal Navy, bottles of the product were distributed all over the world. [7] It will pair particularly well with punchy, herb-heavy gins such as those from Gin Mare and Portobello Road.
