Gin
The dictionary definition of gin is that of a neutral grain spirit re-distilled with botanicals, with a predominant juniper flavor. The only thing all gins must have in common is the juniper berry, but gins come by that distinctive pine-y flavor in a variety of ways. There’s no prescribed ratio, there’s no amount of juniper that is required by law; the definition merely states “predominant flavor of juniper.” Other common gin botanicals include coriander, citrus peels (bitter orange, lemon, grapefruit), angelica root and seed, licorice, orris root, bitter almonds, nutmeg, cinnamon and anise, to name a few. The one that is most familiar as “gin” and most widely available is a style called London Dry Gin. Curiously, a London Dry does not have to be made in London, instead it’s defined by getting its juniper flavor from neutral spirits (grain alcohol) re-distilled with botanicals, with nothing added after the re-distillation process. Some cocktail historians and purveyors of urban cocktail legend say that the origin of the expression “dry martini” comes not from the amount of vermouth added to the cocktail, but from a shortening of the request for a “London Dry Martini.”
