Gin Alcohol - A Spirited Tale
To truly appreciate the artistry behind these cocktail creations, it’s essential to understand the spirit that forms their foundation. Gin’s story begins in the Netherlands during the 17th century, where it emerged as “jenever,” a juniper-flavoured elixir with medicinal roots. As it travelled to England, it underwent a transformation into the familiar ‘gin’ we know today. Its popularity soared, and it became an integral part of the British drinking culture. Fast forward to the present day, and gin has evolved into a global phenomenon, with distilleries around the world crafting an array of styles, from London dry gin to contemporary and exotic variations, each boasting its own unique blend of botanicals.
