Gin

Gin is a clear distilled spirit with origins dating back to the 17th century in the Netherlands, later gaining popularity in 18th-century England. Its distinctive flavor comes primarily from juniper berries and a blend of botanicals. Crafting gin involves distilling a base spirit, often grain-based, with juniper berries and a mix of botanicals like coriander, citrus peel, angelica root, and cinnamon. These ingredients contribute to a wide range of flavor profiles, from dry and crisp to floral and citrusy, depending on the botanical combination.
