Gin is a type of [[Distilleries|distilled]] alcohol spirit.
It is mostly known for its use in the traditional martini, where it is the dominate flavor. It exists as one of the main categories of well drinks that are available where hard alcohol can be purchased.
Like beer, the distillation process involves the extensive use of outside flavorings. The flavor mostly attributed to gin is a flavoring from the juniper berry. It is a type of pine tree (hence the woody taste)
The most popular being juniper berries. Often, the breed and value of gin is largely attributed to the flavoring rather than simply by its distillation process. Its most similar to vodka in that it is [[Distilleries|distilled]] from related ingredients, and tends to be combined with a dilution mix rather than being served alone such as whiskey. Though being similar in alcoholic content as vodka, it's strong botanical flavoring, tends to limit how it is mixed with other drinks. Mix gin with anything, and it will taste most assuredly like gin. Most beverages that include gin tend to serve the purpose to more drinkable. Mostly by diluting it with citrus or soda water.
''Not all Portland [[Distilleries]] produce gin, so here's a larger list.''
