We Asked 15 Bartenders: What’s the One Under-$30 Bottle You Recommend to Every New Home Bartender?

Devil’s Grin Gin is a staple in my home bar, and I recommend it to any home bartender who wants an affordable bottle that’s also surprisingly tasty and versatile. Juniper and cedar give it a solid backbone for spirit-forward drinks like a Bijou, a bright Martini, or even a gin Old Fashioned. On the flip side, its citrusy, floral finish shines in refreshing, citrus-driven cocktails. My favorite is a Bee’s Knees with a splash of elderflower to highlight its delicate notes. Boozy yet thirst-quenching, you won’t regret giving a spot on your home bar for this gin.

Review: Devil’s Grin Gin

If you’re a gin fan that likes to drink it neat or on the rocks, this one is delicious and shows excellent balance. It deserves note that the price is fantastic for a sipping gin.
Taking a sip, the gin shows these notes and additional complexity. As advertised, the juniper notes are not dominant but appear in balance with other botanicals. Along with gentle pine and lemon peel, bold notes of anise come to the fore as well as all spice and earthy angelica root. Midpalate, some lavender appears and stays through the lingering finish.

Bright, crystal clear. The aromatics are very intense, giving scents of orange blossom, juniper, and spring flowers with supporting notes of honeysuckle, chamomile, sea salt, and grapefruit zest. The palate echoes the nose delivering a citrus-driven core with flavors akin to ginger, candied citrus zest, earth, verbena, and mixed peppercorns. The finish is long and lingering. Medium to full-bodied and ideally balanced with an opulent texture. $25 – 4.5 Stars
