What is Gin?
Gin is a distilled spirit that gets most of its flavor from Juniper Berries. (Juniper Berries taste like the way pine smells: green, fresh, and the outdoors in the woods. They have a fruity citrus flavor and some spice).
Gin originated as a medicinal liquor made by monks and chemists across Europe, to provide a strong distilled spirit from grapes and grains.
Gin today is produced in different ways from a wide range of herbal ingredients, giving rise to a number of distinct styles and brands. After juniper, gin tends to be flavored with botanical/herbal, spice, floral or fruit flavors or often a combination. It is commonly consumed mixed with tonic water in a gin and tonic. Gin is also often used as a base spirit to produce flavored, gin-based liqueurs, for example sloe gin, traditionally produced by the addition of fruit, flavorings and sugar.
