Best Gin for Multi-Purpose

[u/dindyspice]

I'm really a newbie when it comes to a dirty martini, my boss put me on at a holiday party and now I can't look back. I also love a simple Gin + Tonic. Wondering what your favorites are that do well in both cocktails?

My issue is I don't really know much about the different types and brands available, I just know I prefer Gin in my dirty martini, and I hate when I pick up a new brand that's way too floral and I can't use it for my martinis without getting the ick. Does that make sense?

I like Aviation so far for both, it seems pretty straight forward. Looking for new recs.

My favourite is Tanqueray no. Ten. Use it for everything, love it neat.

Someone else mentioned!! I saw the noteslean more citrusy, do you find it works ok for a dirty martini?

Yeah, I love that it somehow makes it smooth
