For a classic gin, look no further than London Dry. Despite the name, London Dry Gin is a legal specification but not geographic, which means it can be made anywhere. This style of gin cannot contain artificial flavors or colors, and only water, neutral-grain spirit and sugar may be added after distillation. While it’s been the most popular style for centuries, others are gaining speed.

J.J. Pfister London Dry Capitol Gin: Made locally in Sacramento, this certified organic gin is handcrafted with nine botanicals and a rye base of local grains.
