Gin Martini Recipe
Gin is basically a predominantly primary flavor that is obtained from the juniper berries. Though there are many varieties of this spirit there are two main categories into which this spirit is divided into. They are the distilled gin and compound gin. The compound gin varieties are the ones which have various added flavors like plum, pineapple, apple, etc. which are mixed without the spirit being re- distilled. Subtle combinations of other botanical ingredients give this spirit a high rating percentage when paired with add-on's to create elegant and refreshing martinis.
