Gin

Gin is an alcoholic distillate flavored primarily with juniper berries, which give it its characteristic fresh and slightly resinous taste. This beverage is widely used in mixology and also as an ingredient in various culinary recipes that require a botanical and aromatic touch.

The origin of gin dates back to the Netherlands in the 17th century, where it was initially created as a medicinal remedy before becoming popular in England, and since then it has become one of the most versatile and appreciated alcoholic beverages worldwide.

Regarding its properties, gin stands out for its content of botanical ingredients such as juniper, coriander, angelica, and others, which not only provide aroma and flavor but also make it an ideal base for highlighting elements in sauces, marinades, or desserts. Furthermore, its high alcohol content allows for the extraction and enhancement of flavors in cooking.

In different Latin American countries, gin may also be known as ginebra or simply gin, although the term "ginebra" is more common in culinary and beverage contexts.
