What is dry gin?

Dry gin is a type of gin that is characterized by its lack of added sugar or sweeteners, as opposed to other types of gin that may have a sweeter profile. It is typically made by distilling a neutral spirit with juniper berries and other botanicals such as coriander, angelica, orris root, citrus peels, and spices.

The term "dry" in dry gin refers to the lack of residual sugar in the final product, giving it a clean, sharp, and slightly bitter taste. Dry gin is often used in classic cocktails such as the Gin Martini, Negroni, and Gimlet.

Popular brands of dry gin include Tanqueray, Bombay Sapphire, Beefeater, and Hendrick's. Dry gin is a versatile spirit that can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or mixed into a wide variety of cocktails.
