Gins

Of the six essential spirits, Gin is the only one that really has a reputation to live down. Although the English often claim to be the true progenitors of Gin, it origins in fact go back to 16th century Holland.

How to Serve: The old age mixer for Gin is, of course, Schweppes® tonic, the production of which is almost exclusively sustained by gin drinkers. A gin and tonic is usually offered in a long glass with a slice of lemon and plenty of ice, but equal measures are a more sensitive way of treating the gin. Gin rubs along with the old mixer, though: orange juice, bitter lemon, ginger beer and also cola

Speciality gins can be served neat. Chill the bottle in the freezer, and serve in measures in small glasses. A taller narrow-sided stemmed glass - rather like a short champagne flute - is traditional in the Netherlands
