The word gin derives from the Dutch word jenever and somehow winds its way back to the Latin word for juniper. Gin is made by distilling rye or other grains and flavoring it with juniper berries and other aromatics and botanicals.
Gillman's, Beafeater, and any fake gin and vodka gin/floral gin. Beafeater is a floral gin, Hendrick's and Bombay and vodka's gin.
bad water

i just tried it and the milk chunked up instenly ! yu Actually, gin and milk can taste well together. I like to put strawberry hersheys syrup in the milk, and then add some extra dry gin to it. You can't even taste the gin in it!
2oz. of Gin and 5oz. Tonic. Garnish with Lemon or Lime wedge to suit your own taste
gin and vodka
Sloe Gin, like most alcohol products, don't really go "bad" as the alcohol kills the bacteria that could cause "badness". However, the taste will change over time as the solution oxidises, this is what happens to wine and why you tend not to drink wine that has been open for a long time; it's not bad it just doesn't taste as good. Sloe Gin tends to have more alcohol and sugar than wine so the "sloe gin" taste will last longer. We tend to find that after about 6 months after opening the taste gets a little "woody" and a bit like sherry. I sell sloe gin for a living and I often hear people tell me that they have bottles that have been on the go for anything up to 10 years and still taste ok. At this point they'll also generally say that "it's really strong in alcohol", which unfortunately is not true, the longer you leave the sloe gin, especially if the sloes are still in, the lower the alcohol gets; you are "compounding" not "fermenting"!
Lime obliterates the taste of the Gin. You should use a slice of lemon to compliment it. Hendricks also suggest cucumber.
Vodka tonic tastes like bubbly slightly sweet lime water. It is a tad bitter at times, but very smooth going down the throat. If good vodka is used all you can taste is the tonic water. That's because vodka by law is a neutral spirit, meaning that it can have no discernible taste.
Of course you can! I would recommend mixing it with home-made lemonade! mmmmm
Depends. If it's cruddy gin, it's terrible to the taste. Maybe a nice Blue Sapphire or Tanqueray is quite delicious with some sours and a cherry. Gin, like all liquor, is technically a poison for your body that has to be filtered out by your liver and kidneys. However, enjoyed responsibly, it is no more dangerous than other hard liquors like whiskey, tequila or vodka.

Gin! The spicy piney taste of gin involves several different spices depending on brand, but juniper is the dominant and necessary one.
Life before the cotton gin for people was a bit harder they had to hand pick the cotton themselves
