  Gin
Gin and its Lowlands cousin Genever (Jenever in Belgium) are white spirits that are flavored with juniper berries and so-called botanicals (a varied assortment of herbs and spices).
British gins tend to be high proof (90° or 45% ABV) and citrus-accented from the use of dried lemon and Seville orange peels in the mix of botanicals.
Gin, on the other hand, did not require any aging, and was relatively easy to make by mixing raw alcohol with juniper berry extract and other flavorings and spices in a large container such as a bathtub (thus the origin of the term "Bathtub Gin").

Gin is usually made by the re-distillation of white grain spirit with the berries - though sometimes (compound gin) simply by flavouring the spirit with berries (and not re-distilling).
A common ready-sweetened form of gin is sloe gin, a liqueur traditionally made by infusing sloes (the fruit of the flthorn) in gin.
