Gordon's New Gin Flavour Is Getting Us All Riled Up For Warmer Weather". Delish. 2 March 2022 . Retrieved 7 April 2023.According to its manufacturer, Gordon's gin is triple-distilled and is flavoured with juniper berries, coriander seeds, angelica root, licorice, orris root, orange, and lemon peel; the exact recipe has been a secret since 1769. The recipe differed from others at the time in not requiring the addition of sugar; this made it a "dry" gin. [6]

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. Bradbury, Sarah (26 February 2020). "Gordon's gin is releasing a new Sicilian Lemon flavour for spring". Mirror. In the children's classic Danny, the Champion of the World (1975) by Roald Dahl, the main character and his best school-chum unwittingly catch their headmaster refilling what they'd always thought was a water-glass from a bottle of Gordon's Gin. The two boys privately discuss the matter afterwards, and agree to keep quiet about the man's being an alcoholic, since their headmaster has always been good to them. 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. In August 2017, Gordon's began selling Gordons Pink, a pink-coloured gin flavoured with several types of red berries. [16]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).
