Gin can be made anywhere as long as there’s access to neutral spirit and botanicals, which can be shipped from around the globe to any distillery. Stray Dog, on the other hand, relies on local juniper, wild foraged botanicals, and the mountain spring water of Madeconia to stand apart from the rest. In addition to plenty of macerated juniper berries, Johnny Livanos infuses his pot-distilled sugar-beet spirit with Greek staples like sage, rosemary, bay leaf, mastic, lemon, plus fennel seed, orange, cardamom, and coriander. And knowing that a portion of the profits goes to caring for stray dogs provides a great excuse for sipping Stray Dog on the rocks or adding it to your next G & T. Lush, piney, and punchy at 89 Proof.
