Gin drink, which was first produced in the 11th century, was invented by Dr. in the Netherlands in the 1600s. It is produced by Franciscus de la Boe and Gin takes its name from its main aroma. Gin, derived from “Genever (juniper)” in the Dutch language, is produced by the distillation of many botanical plants such as juniper berry, anise, coriander, angelica and its root, licorice, cinnamon, fennel and citrus peels. It is a colorless, smooth and very intensely flavored drink.

History:

Gin, which was used in the field of medicine in the early periods when it was produced, emerged when the liquid resulting from the distillation of juniper berries was used in the treatment of plague. This drink, which was used by priests in the 11th century to treat many diseases, especially the Plague, served to soothe and calm patients.

How to Drink Gin?

Gin drink is very difficult to drink when consumed neat, as its taste is heavy and bitter. However, it has a very nice taste in various mixtures and cocktails. Gin, which is generally the indispensable drink of bartenders who prepare cocktails, becomes very delicious when mixed with ice and many sweet fruit juices such as strawberry, pineapple and cherry juice, thanks to its intense aroma. Gin, which is also added to cocktails prepared with carbonated drinks, also has a much better taste by enriching it with spices.

Gin, which is frequently consumed with Tonic, has become a stereotype and almost everyone sees it as a new drink called Gin-Tonic. Gin, which you can drink in plump and short glass glasses, is recommended to be filled by adding ice cubes to the glass and then adding it to the ice. For the gin and tonic mixture, after adding 30 grams of gin, add 3 times the amount of Tonic and then drop 3 ice cubes into the glass without stirring. After adding a slice of lemon into it, wait for the lemon aroma to mix.

One of the ways to drink Gin is with the Gin Fizz method. Add Gin halfway into the shaker and then add ice. Then add about 30 grams of lemon juice and sprinkle 1 teaspoon of powdered sugar on it. If you want, leave the Genie last while doing these operations. So add 30 grams of Gin on top of the powdered sugar. In this way, the intense taste of powdered sugar will disappear.
