History & Origins

Origin is disputed, but London Town appears in early 20th-century cocktail guides as a simple showcase for London Dry gin, reflecting the era's fondness for spirit-forward drinks. It shares DNA with the Martinez and early Martini variations, built around gin amplified with maraschino liqueur. The name pays tribute to the city synonymous with gin production.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Juniper-forward gin with a faint cherry sweetness and spiced orange from the bitters. Palate: Dry and spirit-forward with a thread of almond-cherry sweetness from the maraschino and subtle citrus bitterness. Finish: Clean, dry, and persistent with warming gin heat.

Pro Tip

Use a London Dry gin with assertive juniper character to let the botanicals shine through the maraschino liqueur.
