Hi.  

Rarely find a bottle not saying 'Dry' or 'London' style.   Is there a not-dry gin ?   Can you make it 'wet'🙄 adding something to it ?  Sugar ?

Have you tried sloe gin? Wait till the berries have been frosted and make it yourself.

There may be other  berries you can use but sloe gin is not a bit "dry"

It can be bought in the shops  but it might depend on where you are.

given my extensive training at the Crescent School of [Gaming and] Bartering, I posit that to make dry gin wet, the most popular method would be putting it into a martini with a copious helping of [sweet] vermouth and a lemon twist:

[I learned that a dry martini always has dry vermouth, but we were literally told by our professor that a wet martini calls for sweet vermouth. I'll add that many of the things I learned there were regional, if not completely unique to New Orleans and or Delta Southern serving tradition.]
