Gin

Once upon a time in the 14th century, it was believed that juniper berries had the power to eradicate the plague that had spread through Europe like wildfire. Over time and thanks to Italian distillation wizards, steeped juniper tonics were ultimately transformed into smooth, herbaceous spirits, and today we have the glorious gift that is gin.

Like a long, cool woman in a silver dress, it dances in the background of countless classic and modern-day cocktails in the most alluring way imaginable. From the always-iconic Gin Martini to the violet-tinged Aviation, the dreamy Clover Club, and everything in between, there is a gin cocktail that’s perfect for every celebratory occasion.
