Dry gin...

[Externet]

Hi.  

Rarely find a bottle not saying 'Dry' or 'London' style.   Is there a not-dry gin ?   Can you make it 'wet'🙄 adding something to it ?  Sugar ?

Have you tried sloe gin? Wait till the berries have been frosted and make it yourself.

There may be other  berries you can use but sloe gin is not a bit "dry"

It can be bought in the shops  but it might depend on where you are.

Google 'old tom style gin'. It is juniper berries and gin.

given my extensive training at the Crescent School of [Gaming and] Bartering, I posit that to make dry gin wet, the most popular method would be putting it into a martini with a copious helping of [sweet] vermouth and a lemon twist:

[I learned that a dry martini always has dry vermouth, but we were literally told by our professor that a wet martini calls for sweet vermouth. I'll add that many of the things I learned there were regional, if not completely unique to New Orleans and or Delta Southern serving tradition.]
