Gin

Gin is a distilled alcoholic spirit based on grain alcohol, whose characteristic flavour comes primarily from juniper berries and other botanical ingredients, typically coriander seeds, angelica root, citrus peel, or cardamom. It originated in the Netherlands in the 17th century and is now produced in many styles, with London Dry Gin being the most dominant. In bartending, it is one of the most widely used spirits, it forms the base of cocktails such as Gin & Tonic, Martini, Negroni, and Tom Collins. The flavour profile varies by producer and botanicals used, ranging from fresh citrus notes to earthy and spiced varieties.
