Gin is one of the few drinks designed to be mixed with drinks by others. That is, gin, as a rule, is an integral component of a number of cocktails. In
gin cocktails
a variety of drinks and ingredients can be included: juices, carbonated water (tonic), liqueurs,
berries
,
fruits
.
Gin itself is very dry (despite the fact that it is a liquid in its pure form), drinking it undiluted is quite unpleasant. But the aroma of gin is truly unique, thanks to the fragrant juniper plant. The most common gin among all available on the market is London dry gin. Moreover, London dry gin is not the name of the drink, it is the designation of the process of its preparation.
Gin can be based not only on juniper, but also on a number of other fruits and plants, including: violet root, lemon peel, anise, coriander,
cinnamon
and so on. In good old Europe, gin is still made according to ancient recipes, the secret of which is kept in the strictest confidence.
The homeland of gin is considered to be Holland. Gin appeared here in the distant XVII century. The modern version of Dutch gin bears little resemblance to, say, British gin. There are differences, if only because Dutch gin is made from barley, and not from juniper. In this regard, Dutch gin has a completely different taste. It cannot be called dry – Dutch gin can easily pass for
whiskey
.
So, what does gin go best with? First of all, it is, of course, a gin and tonic. Then gin rum, followed by gin vermouth, followed by gin soda, followed by gin juice. Gin also goes well with cranberry juice.
