Gin is a white spirit made from a mixture of grains that is flavored with juniper berries and other botanicals like coriander, cinnamon, and orange peel. It is produced through either steeping juniper berries and botanicals in a spirit base or extracting their oils through vapor. There are different styles of gin including London dry, Plymouth, and genever. Popular brands include Bombay Sapphire, Tanqueray, and Beefeater. Gin is often served with tonic water and lime or used to make classic cocktails like martinis.
