The History of Gin

Gin has a fascinating history that dates back to the Middle Ages. Originally derived from juniper berries, gin was first concocted as a medicinal liquor by monks and alchemists across Europe. By the 17th century, it had evolved into a popular spirit, thanks to the Dutch physician Franciscus Sylvius, who is often credited with its modern form.

The British embraced gin with open arms, leading to the infamous "Gin Craze" in the early 18th century. Since then, gin has continually adapted, becoming the sophisticated and diverse spirit we know today.

The History of Gin Cocktails

Gin's versatile nature has made it a staple in the cocktail world since the 19th century. The advent of the classic gin cocktails we enjoy today can be traced back to the late 1800s. The Martini, Tom Collins, and Gin Fizz are just a few examples that have withstood the test of time.

Bartenders and mixologists love gin for its ability to harmonise with various ingredients, creating cocktails that are both refreshing and complex.

What is Gin Made Of?

Gin is primarily made from distilled grains such as barley, corn, or rye, which are then infused with a range of botanicals. The core botanical is juniper berries, giving gin its distinctive pine-like flavor. Other common botanicals include coriander, angelica root, citrus peels, and spices, each contributing to gin's unique and varied profiles.

Why Gin is Popular in Cocktails

Gin's popularity in cocktails boils down to its incredible versatility. Its complex flavor profile allows it to pair beautifully with a wide variety of ingredients, from fruits and herbs to spices and tonics. The botanicals in gin can both stand out and complement other flavours, making it a perfect base for cocktails.

The Flavour Profiles Gin Creates

Gin offers a diverse range of flavour profiles depending on its botanical mix. Here are some common profiles:

• Citrusy: Bright and zesty, often featuring lemon or orange peel.
  
• Herbal: Fresh and earthy, with notes of rosemary or thyme.
  
• Spicy: Warm and invigorating, with hints of cinnamon or cardamom.
  
• Floral: Delicate and aromatic, often with lavender or elderflower notes.
