Gin is a distilled alcoholic beverage that is primarily flavored with juniper berries. It originated in the Netherlands in the 17th century and became popular in England during the 18th century. The drink is typically clear and has a distinct herbal and botanical flavor profile, which can vary based on the ingredients used in its production. There are several styles of gin, including London Dry Gin, Plymouth Gin, and Old Tom Gin. Each style has its own unique characteristics and production methods. Gin is often enjoyed in cocktails, such as the classic Gin and Tonic or Martini, and can also be sipped neat or on the rocks.
