Gin is typically made by distilling grain alcohol with juniper berries and other botanicals, such as coriander, angelica root, and citrus peel.

The flavour of gin can vary widely depending on the specific brand and the types and amounts of botanicals used. Some gins have a more traditional, juniper-forward flavour, while others have a more complex and nuanced flavour profile that includes notes of citrus, spice, and floral flavours.

Gin is often used as a base spirit in cocktails, such as the classic Gin and Tonic, Martini, and Negroni.

Gin is often categorised by its country of origin and the specific botanicals used in its production.
