The nose opens with crisp juniperJuniperThe one compulsory botanical: gin must taste predominantly of juniper. Its "berry" is really a small conifer cone, resinous and peppery.Glossary and the clean scent of lemon zest. In the mouth, the citrus is direct and fresh, while juniper gives the gin its dry centre and a gentle resinous persistence. Orris rootOrris rootIris rhizome dried for years, then ground. Powdery and violet-like, it mainly works as a fixative that binds and lengthens the other aromas.Glossary contributes a subtle floral quality, not a perfumed sweetness, and helps the transition from lemon to the longer, drier finish. The flavours remain distinct and measured: citrus freshness, juniper, then a restrained floral trace. Its relatively simple recipe makes the balance easy to read both neat and in a mixed drink.

Radius presents Batch 46 as its classic London Dry and recommends it with Indian tonicIndian tonicThe classic tonic: sparkling water, bitter quinine and sugar. The name recalls colonial India, where quinine warded off malaria.Glossary, ice and a twist of lemonTwistA strip of peel twisted over the glass to release its oils, then dropped into the drink.Glossary: fill a balloon glass with clear ice, pour 5 cl and add 15 cl of Fever-Tree Indian Tonic Water, then add the lemon twist. The tonic's bitterness supports the dry style, while lemon peel repeats the citrus already present in the gin. Keep the garnish to a twist rather than adding several fruit or herbs; the point is to preserve the clear relationship between juniper and lemon. The gin also works in traditional cocktails where a clean, dry base matters, including a Martini or a Gin Fizz. Its 43% strength gives enough presence to stand up to dilution, but a measured tonic pour will keep the floral hint of orris perceptible.
