It’s your best friend’s annual gin-tasting party tonight, but you just spent a huge chunk of cash on rent. With a thrifty budget and no time to spare, you need to buy some gin! Or… maybe this hypothetical scenario is too specific and you just want to buy some low-cost booze. Whoever you are, these cheap gins under $15 should do the trick.

Gordon’s Gin

Gordon’s Gin has been in production for over 250 years. It’s a classic London dry that you can find for around $10.99, bottled at 40% ABV.

Gordon’s Gin also happens to be one of the world’s best selling gins, so you won’t have to sacrifice notoriety when buying your budget-friendly spirit.  Look for a crisp juniper and citrus taste in Gordon’s Gin.

Starr Blu Gin

Starr Blu Gin can be found for around $9.99 and is another London Dry style gin to consider trying. The botanicals in Starr Blue Gin are herbs, spices — we can’t seem to find which herbs and spices — and subtle juniper. This is a cheap gin for when you want pine notes to take it easy in your drink.

The Starr Blu brand also makes a vodka, just in case you wanted to know. Both the gin and vodka are bottled at 40% ABV.
