house gin

Default pour spirit

House gin is a bar or restaurant's default gin, served when a customer orders a gin drink without specifying a brand: I'll have a gin and tonic gets you the house gin.

It's typically a mid-range or budget option, cheaper than premium or top-shelf alternatives.

Some establishments choose a distinctive house gin as a signature; others simply stock whatever's economical.
