Gin is a [[spirit]] flavoured with [[juniper berries]]. Distilled gin is made by redistilling white grain spirit which has been flavoured with [[juniper berries]]. Compound gin is made by flavouring neutral grain spirit with juniper berries without redistilling and can be considered a flavoured [[vodka]].<br />
<br />
The most common style of gin, typically used for mixed drinks, is London dry gin. London dry gin is made by taking a neutral grain spirit (usually produced in a column still) and redistilling after the botanicals are added. In addition to juniper, it is usually made with a small amount of [[citrus]] botanicals like lemon and [[bitter orange]] peel. Other botanicals that may be used include [[anise]], [[Angelica|angelica root]] and seed, [[Orris|orris root]], [[licorice root]], [[cinnamon]], [[coriander]], and [[cassia bark]].<br />
<br />
Distilled gin evolved from the Dutch spirits jonge- and oude- Jenever or Genever (young and old Dutch gin), Plymouth gin, and Old Tom gin. [[Sloe]] gin is a common ready-sweetened form of gin that is traditionally made by infusing [[sloes]] (the fruit of the blackthorn) in gin. Similar infusions are possible with other fruits, such as [[damsons]] (See Damson gin).<br />
<br />
A well-made gin will be relatively dry compared to other spirits. Gin is often mixed in cocktails with sweeter ingredients like [[tonic water]] or [[vermouth]] to balance this dryness.<br />
