gin definition and meaning

What is "gin"?

Gin is a clear and highly aromatic spirit that is flavored with juniper berries and other botanicals. It is typically made by distilling a neutral grain spirit with juniper berries, as well as other herbs, spices, and botanicals, such as coriander, angelica root, and citrus peel. The resulting spirit is then diluted with water to the desired strength and bottled. Gin is a popular spirit used in many classic cocktails, such as the Martini, the Negroni, and the Gin and Tonic. It can also be consumed on its own, either neat or over ice, and is often enjoyed as a refreshing and flavorful aperitif. Gin is produced in many countries around the world, each with its own unique style and flavor profile.
