London Gin

Juniper does the sharpening here and cucumber does the softening, which is more or less the classic London dry shape. ArKay lists juniper berries as the key ingredient alongside a mix of other botanicals, and the result is crisp and bright enough that plenty of people use it in place of vodka as well as gin. Gin Fizz and Pink Gin are the reference serves, though the simplest test is a heavy pour with tonic, ice and a wedge of lime. Behind the flavor sits the same architecture as the rest of the lineup, spring water and natural flavors instead of a distilled base, plus the food grade compound that produces the warm bite at the back of the throat. A serving carries no alcohol, no sugar, no carbs and no calories. Swap it into any gin recipe at full measure.
