London Dry Gin
A neutral grain spirit redistilled with juniper and botanicals such as coriander, angelica, citrus peel and orris. London dry is a style, not a place: nothing but water may be added after distillation, so no sugar and no colour.

How It Tastes
Piney juniper up front, then citrus, spice and a dry finish.
Bartender's Tip
For Martinis and Negronis, choose a gin around 43 to 47% ABV. It holds its shape against vermouth and dilution.
Substitutes
Vodka, Old Tom Gin. Expect the drink to change character, but the balance will hold.
