World Gin Day – a global celebration dedicated to one of the most versatile spirits. Did you know  that gin-based cocktails currently account for 17 of the world’s 50 most popular cocktails?

Let’s appreciate all things gin. What makes gin so special? It’s all about the botanicals. While juniper is the defining ingredient, what truly sets each gin apart is its unique blend of other natural flavors – think citrus peels, coriander, angelica root, or even more exotic additions like cardamom, cucumber, or rose petals – there are thousands of botanicals to add to gin.

This incredible diversity means there’s a gin for everyone. From the classic, crisp London Dry to the floral notes of a contemporary, the enduring sweetness of an Old Tom, or the vibrant hues of purple gin, the world of gin is vast and exciting.
