Best gin for mixed drinks?
London Dry Gins. London dry gins like Beefeater, Tanqueray, and Bombay Sapphire are popular choices because they offer a classic juniper-forward profile that pairs well with citrus, cranberry, herbs, and warm spices commonly used in holiday cocktails.
Other Options. If you prefer something a little softer, a more modern or citrus-forward gin, such as Hendrick's, can add subtle floral and fresh notes that shine in festive mixers.
Personally, I have a bottle of Tanqueray on my home bar right now, and I'm enjoying that in mixed drinks!
