Origin and history
London Dry Gin, a quintessential spirit, originated in the early 18th century in England. Evolving from a Dutch drink called jenever, it became popular in London, hence its name. London Dry Gin is not necessarily from London but must adhere to strict production standards. It is made through a double distillation process with botanicals, predominantly juniper. The term “dry” refers to the absence of sugar. This gin became globally revered, partly due to its role in classic cocktails like the Martini and the Gin and Tonic. Today, it symbolizes sophistication and remains a staple in bars worldwide.

What is the difference between London Dry Gin and other types of gin?
London Dry Gin is a type of gin that must be distilled to a minimum of 70% ABV and then diluted to no more than 0.1 grams of sugar per liter, making it one of the driest gins. It cannot contain any artificial ingredients and can only have water and a very small amount of sugar added after distillation. The flavor must be introduced only through the distillation process, with no flavors or colors added afterward. This results in a clean, crisp gin where juniper is the dominant flavor.
Other types of gin, such as Old Tom Gin or Plymouth Gin, may have different production methods and regulations. For example, Old Tom Gin is often slightly sweeter, sometimes with sugar added after distillation, and Plymouth Gin has a geographical designation and a slightly different flavor profile. These variations allow for a broader range of flavors and styles within the category of gin.
How should I store my London dry gin?
Store London Dry Gin in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. Keep the bottle upright and tightly sealed to preserve its flavor and prevent evaporation. Ideal storage temperature is between 55-60°F (13-16°C). Avoid drastic temperature changes to maintain quality.
What are some popular ways to enjoy London dry gin?
London Dry Gin is celebrated for its versatility and distinctive juniper flavor, making it a favorite in many cocktails. Enjoy it in a classic Gin & Tonic with a twist of lime for a refreshing drink. Experiment with a dry Martini, mixing gin with a touch of dry vermouth and an olive or a lemon twist. For a more complex flavor, try a Negroni, combining gin with sweet vermouth and Campari. Gin also pairs beautifully with herbal or floral tonics and a garnish of cucumber or rosemary to enhance its aromatic profile. For a non-alcoholic option, use a gin-inspired syrup in mocktails.
