Usually made from a base of grain, such as wheat or barley, Gin is an alcoholic beverage obtained by distillation. It has a predominant flavour of Juniper berries - a type of aromatic “fruit” that grows along the branches of juniper trees. To drink gin, have it on the rocks with some ice or try it neat with no ice. If you'd prefer a gin cocktail, try a gin and tonic, which is just gin, tonic water, and fresh lime juice. You can also drink gin with a splash of soda water or ginger ale. If you enjoy martinis, mix gin and vermouth make a gin martini.

Gin is a distilled spirit that is made from grain and flavoured with botanicals. It comes in different styles and flavours. Accordingly, it can be infused with a variety of herbs, botanicals, and spices. The alcohol percentage of Gin ranges between 40 percent and 47 percent alcohol by volume (ABV, 80 to 94 proof).

It's not surprising that all types of berries have made it onto every gin and tonic food pairing list ever made. Blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, cranberries, raspberries—you name it and that berry will pair well. Sweet berries balance out the kick of the quinine in the tonic and the juniper of the gin.

Easy to make, a Gin & Juice cocktail is refreshing and tasty in equal measure. Try orange, mango, pineapple and apple juices if you have a sweet tooth, or cranberry and grapefruit if you prefer a bitter twist.

The answer is yes – gin is a great sipping spirit! But you'll need to choose the right gin to avoid that abrasive 'mouth full of pine' feeling that poor quality bottles can leave.

A tumbler, also known as a rocks glass or old fashioned glass, has long been a standard for gin-based drinks.
