Gin-based refers to beverages that primarily use gin as the main spirit. Gin is a distilled alcoholic drink that is flavored with botanicals, primarily juniper berries, which give it a distinct taste. It can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or as a key ingredient in various cocktails. Popular gin-based cocktails include the Gin and Tonic, Martini, and Negroni. Each of these drinks showcases the unique flavors of gin while combining it with other ingredients like tonic water, vermouth, or bitters. The versatility of gin makes it a favorite among mixologists and cocktail enthusiasts.
