Vodka gets a lot of shine for being clean, neutral, and versatile. But what if we told you gin can do all of that and bring flavor to the party? Whether you’re mixing a classic Martini or shaking up a Moscow Mule, switching out vodka for a premium craft gin like The Old G can take your cocktail from basic to bold. Let’s get into why this swap works — and how to make it hit.
Vodka is smooth and mostly flavorless — that’s why it’s so popular. It’s easy to mix and never steals the spotlight. But that’s also its downside: it doesn’t add anything to your cocktail.
Gin, on the other hand, brings something to the table.
The Old G is built with organic botanicals — think juniper, citrus peel, cardamom, and coriander — giving your drinks depth without making them too complicated. When used right, gin:
It’s clean like vodka, but much more interesting.
A vodka martini is smooth, yes — but a gin martini has character. Swap in The Old G, and you’ll get:

Vodka is the blank canvas. Gin — especially The Old G — is the brushstroke that gives it life. If you’re mixing mules or martinis, try making the swap and taste the difference for yourself. Cleaner. Bolder. More you.
The Old G Gin is unlike any other. It’s smooth, with no burn, no bite, and none of the bitterness that defines traditional gin. Its bold flavor profile stands out, whether sipped neat or mixed into a cocktail.
