Wat is een London Dry Gin?

Een gin die volgens strikte regels is gemaakt: alle smaakmakers worden meegedistilleerd en er mag na de distillatie geen suiker of smaak worden toegevoegd. 'London' zegt niets over de plaats; Gordon's wordt in Schotland gestookt. Het resultaat is een droge, jeneverbes-gedreven gin.

Wat zit er in Gordon's Pink?

Gordon's London Dry met natuurlijke aardbei, framboos en rode bes, waardoor hij roze en zoeter is. Hij is bedoeld voor een pink gin tonic of een spritz met Sprite of prosecco en verse aardbeien.

Hoe maak je de perfecte gin tonic met Gordon's?

Vul een copa of longdrinkglas helemaal met ijs, schenk er 50 ml Gordon's bij en top af met 150 ml koude tonic. Roer één keer en garneer met een partje limoen (London Dry) of een schijfje citroen (Sicilian Lemon). Veel ijs is het geheim: het smelt langzamer en verdunt minder.

Gordon's of Bombay Sapphire?

Beide zijn London Dry Gins, maar Gordon's is klassieker en zwaarder op de jeneverbes, terwijl Bombay Sapphire lichter en bloemiger is. Gordon's is bovendien goedkoper. Voor een klassieke, droge gin tonic is Gordon's een uitstekende keuze.

Is Gordon's 0.0% echt alcoholvrij?

Ja, Gordon's 0.0% bevat 0,0% alcohol. Het is geen gin maar een alcoholvrije variant met dezelfde smaakmakers: jeneverbes, koriander en citrus. Met tonic en ijs komt hij het dichtst bij een echte gin tonic.

What is Gordon's?

The London Dry that set the standard

Gordon's is a London Dry Gin created in 1769 by Alexander Gordon in Southwark, London. Its recipe, with plenty of juniper, coriander, angelica root, and citrus peel, has barely changed in over 250 years and is still kept secret. The wild boar on the label comes from the Gordons' family crest. The gin is now owned by Diageo and distilled in Scotland.

Gordon's is one of the best-selling gins in the world and the gin most people used to make their first gin and tonic. In the Netherlands, it is bottled at 37.5%; export and British versions are 40 to 47.3%. Alongside the classic London Dry, there are Gordon's Premium Pink, Sicilian Lemon, Tropical Passionfruit, and an alcohol-free 0.0%.

What is London Dry Gin?

A gin made according to strict rules: all botanicals are distilled together, and no sugar or flavoring may be added after distillation. “London” says nothing about the location; Gordon's is distilled in Scotland. The result is a dry, juniper-led gin.

Fill a copa or highball glass completely with ice, pour in 50 ml of Gordon's, and top up with 150 ml of cold tonic. Stir once and garnish with a lime wedge (London Dry) or a slice of lemon (Sicilian Lemon). Plenty of ice is the secret: it melts more slowly and dilutes the drink less.

Gordon's or Bombay Sapphire?

Both are London Dry Gins, but Gordon's is more classic and heavier on the juniper, while Bombay Sapphire is lighter and more floral. Gordon's is also cheaper. For a classic, dry gin and tonic, Gordon's is an excellent choice.
