Gin is an alcoholic beverage that is usually made from a base of grain, such as wheat or barley, which is first fermented and then distilled
. The resulting neutral grain spirit is then flavored with juniper berries, which give gin its characteristic taste
. Other botanicals, such as citrus peels, coriander, and cardamom, are often added to give the gin additional flavor
. The exact recipe and production methods can vary between distilleries, resulting in a wide range of gin styles and brands
