Beefeater is a brand of gin that originated in London, England. It is known for its distinctive flavor, which comes from a blend of botanicals, including juniper berries, coriander, and citrus peels. The gin is named after the Yeoman Warders, commonly known as Beefeaters, who are the ceremonial guardians of the Tower of London. The Beefeater distillery was established in 1863 by James Burrough, and it remains one of the few gin distilleries in London today. Beefeater gin is often used in cocktails, such as the classic gin and tonic or martini, and has gained international recognition for its quality and craftsmanship.
