Gin
Gin is made from a neutral spirit, water, juniper berries, and other botanicals. The neutral spirit is typically made from grains
like barley or wheat, but can also be made from potatoes, sugar beets, or fruits.
Gin originated in the Netherlands, where it was first distilled in the 17th century. The Dutch called it "jenever".
How it originated
In 1550, Dutch physician Franciscus Sylvius began prescribing a juniper-based distilled spirit for medicinal purposes.
Dutch alchemists discovered how to distill spirits cheaply from grain.
They infused the juniper-flavored spirit with botanicals like coriander and angelica.
How it spread to Britain
English soldiers first encountered gin while fighting Spain in Holland during the Thirty Years' War.
The Dutch king William III, also known as William of Orange, introduced gin to his subjects in England and Ireland in 1689.
Gin production began in London in the late 17th century.
Today's gin production
Today, the main producers of gin are based in England, the Netherlands, and the United States.
Ingredients
Alcohol: A neutral spirit made from grains, potatoes, sugar beets, or fruits
Water: Pure, demineralized water
Juniper berries: The predominant flavor in gin
Botanicals: Other ingredients that add unique character to the gin, such as coriander, angelica, fruits, flowers, seeds, herbs,
spices, and roots
Process
The botanicals are infused into the raw spirit to release their flavors. The neutral spirit is distilled to a high purity, usually
around 96% ABV, before it undergoes any flavoring.
Variations
The recipe can be varied by adding different spices, fruits, and floral elements. Some distillers experiment with unusual
botanicals like seaweed and olives.

TEQUILA

Michoacán, Nayarit, and Tamaulipas.
How is tequila made?
Tequila is made from the blue agave plant, specifically the heart of the plant called the piña.
The piña is cooked until soft, then mashed and mixed with water to create agave nectar.
The agave nectar is fermented and distilled to create tequila.
Tequila is typically clear, but it can also be amber or green.
Tequila's designation of origin
Tequila has a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO), which means that only tequila produced in specific regions of Mexico
can be called "Tequila".
The Mexican federal government has strict requirements governing tequila production.
Tequila's history
The first agave-based alcohol factory opened in 1600, initially called mezcal.
Steps for making tequila:
Harvest: The piña is roasted in an oven, then shredded or ground into a pulp.
Ferment: The pulp is mixed with water and yeast, and fermented in large vats.
Distill: The mixture is distilled two or three times.
Bottle: The tequila can be bottled immediately for blanco tequila, or aged in oak barrels for reposado or Anejo tequila.
Characteristics of tequila
Tequila is typically 40%60% alcohol by volume (80120 proof).
Tequila is made in Mexico.
The blue agave plant is related to the lily family, though it looks like a cactus.
It takes 710 years for the agave plant to be ready for harvest.
Aging
The aging process in oak barrels contributes to the flavor of the tequila. Anejo tequila is aged for more than a year and is
considered smooth and best for sipping.
