Gin is a distilled alcoholic beverage known for its distinctive aroma and flavor derived from juniper berries, its primary ingredient. Its character can range from fresh and herbal to complex and aromatic, depending on the blend of botanicals such as citrus, spices, flowers, or roots used in the brewing process.
Known as the base ingredient in many classic cocktails like the gin and tonic, martini, and negroni, gin offers great versatility and a unique flavor profile. Its popularity continues to grow thanks to the emergence of modern styles like London Dry, Old Tom, and Contemporary Gin, each with its own distinct character.
