Gin is one of the few drinks meant to be mixed with other drinks. That is, gin is, as a rule, an integral component of a whole range of cocktails. Into
gin cocktails
a wide variety of drinks and ingredients can go: juices, carbonated water (tonic), liqueurs,
berries
,
fruit
.
Gin itself is very dry (even though in its pure form it is a liquid), and drinking it undiluted is rather unpleasant. But the aroma of gin is truly one of a kind — thanks precisely to the fragrant juniper plant. The most widespread gin of all those on the market is London dry gin. And London dry gin is not the name of a drink; it is the designation of the process of making it.
Gin can be based not only on juniper but also on a whole range of other fruits and plants, among them: orris root, lemon peel, anise, coriander,
cinnamon
and so on. In good old Europe, gin is still made according to ancient recipes whose secret is kept in the strictest confidence.
The homeland of gin is considered to be Holland. Gin appeared here back in the distant 17th 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 rather than from juniper. Because of this, Dutch gin has a completely different taste. You can't call it dry — Dutch gin can easily pass for
whiskey
.
So, what does gin go best with? First of all, of course, it is a gin and tonic. Then gin and rum, followed by gin and vermouth, then gin and soda, then gin and juice. Gin also pairs quite nicely with cranberry juice.
