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.

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.
