GIN
DEFINITION
Gin is a flavored alcoholic beverage produced by redistilling high proof spirits with juniper
berries and other botanicals.
• Gin originated over three centuries ago in Holland when Franciscus ‘de la Boe’ Sylvius,
professor of medicine in Holland’s University of Leiden mixed juniper berries and alcohol
to cure kidney complaints.
• The word “Gin” is an abbreviation either derived from the French word ‘genievre’ or the
Dutch word ‘junever’ both meaning juniper berry.
• British soldiers took the drink before going into battle in the Netherlands which gave
them ‘Dutch Courage’.
• They developed liking for the taste and took the art of making this spirit to England.
• By 18th
Century Gin became a cheap remedy for London’s poor and there was no control
over the production of Gin and was produced all over London.
• The famous phrase came about because of the cheapness of Gin. “Drunk for a penny
and dead drunk for two pence, clean straw or nothing”.
• Some employers even gave Gin to their employees as part payment of wages.
