Gin

Like many of Britain’s national favourites, gin did not originate from our shores. In fact, if you don’t count the Italian monks who are thought to have used juniper berries as flavourings in distilled spirits back in the 11th Century, it’s Holland that is credited as the birthplace of gin.

Did you know… The term Mothers Ruin was coined due to claims that, being inexpensive, gin was the spirit of choice in brothels and that the spirit also induced abortions.
