London Dry Gin is a classic gin style that has been enjoyed for centuries. This dry, juniper-forward spirit is a staple in many cocktail recipes, particularly during Spring when refreshing, citrusy drinks are in high demand.
In this article, we’ll explore what makes Hocus London Dry Gin unique and give you a delicious springtime cocktail recipe to try.
What is London Dry Gin?
London Dry Gin is a style of gin that is made through a distillation process that uses only natural botanicals. Unlike other types of gin that may add flavors after distillation, London Dry Gin’s flavor comes purely from the botanicals used in the distillation process. The result is a dry, juniper-forward spirit that is perfect for mixing into cocktails. One of the defining characteristics of London Dry Gin is that it must be distilled to a minimum of 70% ABV (alcohol by volume) before being watered down and bottled. This high proof allows the gin’s flavors to shine through even when mixed with other ingredients. What seprates Hocus London Gin from EVERY OTHER gin available is that it can be enjoyed alcohol-free or with alcohol without having to purchase seperate versions!
