Gin

Gin is a distilled alcoholic drink that derives its predominant flavour from juniper berries (Juniperus communis).Gin originated as a medicinal liquor made by monks and alchemists across Europe, particularly in southern France, Flanders and the Netherlands, to provide aqua vita from distillates of grapes and grains. It then became an object of commerce in the spirits industry.
