Gin production can take place in several ways. However, it is always necessary to use the right combination of herbal ingredients. Gin was also originally intended as a medicine.

While many alcoholic beverages can only be produced in one way, gin can be produced in three different ways. The first recalls the production of whiskey with its technological process. The production process takes place in a copper boiler, where the fermented grain is distilled. Then herbs and other ingredients are added. Gin can be distilled several times and new ingredients are added during each process. Gin made in this way usually matures in wooden barrels.

The second way is the distillation of neutral alcohol from grain, which results in pure alcohol.

• It is distilled again together with herbs.
• The plant components are in the upper part of the copper boiler and the alcohol fumes that pass through the basket with these herbs draw the taste and their aroma into each other.
• Sugar can also be added to the gin produced in this way.

The last method of production is the simplest. Herbal ingredients are simply added to neutral alcohol. However, this type of gin is not widely recognized by experts.

Many types of alcohol were originally invented for medicinal purposes. Such products include gin. Already in the first half of the 16th century, the Dutch physician Sylvius distilled pure laboratory alcohol with juniper berries. This medicine was to be used to cleanse the blood.

• Several ingredients are currently being added to gin.
• These include, for example, coriander, bitter almonds, cardamom, lemon, or orange peel.

Gin can be drunk either alone or used to make unique drinks. One of the most well-known combinations is undoubtedly gin and tonic. The bitter tonic underlines the interesting taste of gin, and the combination creates an interesting and very popular drink.

• Gin is also a favourite drink of artists.
• One of the most famous gin drinkers was the famous writer Francis Scott Fitzgerald.
• This drink also appears in his famous work, The Great Gatsby.
