Best Gin Drinks

This berry–based spirit has a different and herbal taste that gets very clear-cut reactions from its drinkers: they either love it or hate it. Gin is referred to as original martini maker. Gin seems to have originated in Netherland. Although a lot of people argue that it was first of all produced in Italy.

 It doesn’t matter where it originated from, but its production process is nearly same. Gin is produced by distilling juniper berries are distilled with a grain mash. Grain mash constitutes the following: corn, barley, rye, and wheat. And to it, a lot of falvors such as cassis, coriander, fennel, ginger, lemon peel, and even botanic flavorings are added.

 So, for the sake of simplicity, we can divide gin into 2 main categories or types:

   This gin is the most common gin that is used in cocktail mixing. And that is why it is hugely demanded by bar owners. This gin is also referred to as London dry gin. Old Tom is a type of London dry gin, which is simple syrup with a little sweetness. On the other hand, plymouth gin is a London dry gin that’s not sweet at all. It has around 40 to 45 percent alcohol level.

  Dutch gin, which is also referred to as Netherlands gin contains around 35 to 40 percent alcohol. It is also referred to as sipping gin with a grain flavor and and the influence of juniper berry.

 The connection between Gin and England is very strong. England’s taste for gin became stronger when King William III banned the import of French wine and other liquors, and as a result of which  the gin production soared. Because it was reasonably priced, it became very popular among poor and working class people.  It became extraordinarily popular with the poor and working class. Its demand shot up like anything, coz it was a rage among the poor’s. Then 1739, Gin act was enforced by England that raised the price of gin to a great extent. The price of gin shot so much that poor’s were not able to afford it.

 But the common men didn’t like these social experiments of the educated. As a result of which riots broke out and rallies took place. After exactly 3 years, this bill was taken aback by the government and gallons of gin flowed into the glasses of common people.
