It’s been banned, it’s been linked to ruining mothers, it’s been made in bathtubs and now - to the benefit of us all - gin is very much back right where it should be, right there in a glass in front of us. There are so many varieties out there now - and I’m discovering new ones all the time - but all have one thing in common, and that is the base botanical being juniper. Beyond that they vary hugely, and so do these recipes. My love for it runs deep, and it features on the blog quite a lot.
