Gin is a juniper-led spirit whose botanicals range from the dry, piney punch of London Dry to softer, citrus- and floral-forward contemporary styles. That backbone makes it the bar's most versatile base — equally at home in spirit-forward drinks like the Martini and Negroni and in bright, citrusy ones like the Gimlet and Tom Collins. These gin cocktails span pre-Prohibition classics to modern twists.
