Juniper berry was the first botanical used to flavor what became gin. Originally gin was made by re-distilling pure alcohol with juniper berry because juniper produces a therapeutic oil. Originally gin was not made for cocktails but as a medicine and juniper oil is a known diuretic. Here are a few more traditional flavorings for gin: * cassia * anise * sweet orange peel * caraway seed * cocoa nibs * Angelica root * lemon peel * coriander
