When my husband asked if I wanted anything special to drink on Friday I replied gleefully that I’d love him to make me a G&T. He obliged, handing me the drink, before we settled in to watch a family show with the kids. Nothing unusual here – except that I’m teetotal. The G in my G&T was alcohol free.
Strictly speaking it’s not G – or gin at all. As one gin expert told me, by very definition it cannot be called gin unless it’s over 37.5 per cent ABV. But despite the technicality, a number of brands are using gin as inspiration to create alcohol-free (as well as sugar-free) sprits.
