Frequently Asked Questions About Plain Gin
What is plain gin made from?
Plain gin is a distilled alcoholic drink defined by its juniper-led botanical flavour. Its alcohol can come from grains or other agricultural sources, then is flavoured with juniper and often botanicals such as coriander. The exact botanical recipe varies between brands.
What is the difference between plain gin and vodka?
Plain gin gets its distinctive flavour from juniper and other botanicals, while vodka is generally made to taste more neutral. Both are distilled spirits, but gin’s aromatic profile makes it a recognisable ingredient in drinks such as a martini or gin and tonic.
How do you drink plain gin?
You can drink plain gin neat, over ice, or mixed with tonic, soda, or another mixer. Its botanical flavour is pronounced on its own, while a strip of lemon or lime peel adds a fresh aroma. Sip it slowly because it is a high-alcohol drink.
What is the best mixer for plain gin?
Tonic water is a classic mixer for plain gin, while soda water makes a less sweet, lighter-tasting drink. Citrus juice, ginger ale, and bitter lemon are other common options; choose a mixer that complements the gin’s botanical notes without masking them.
What is the gin-to-tonic ratio for plain gin and tonic?
A common starting point is one part plain gin to two or three parts tonic, adjusted to taste. Pour over plenty of ice and add lemon or lime. More tonic makes the drink milder and sweeter, while less keeps the gin’s flavour more prominent.
Which cocktails are made with plain gin?
Plain gin is used in classic cocktails including the Martini, Negroni, Tom Collins, and Gimlet. Each highlights it differently: a Martini is spirit-forward, a Negroni is bitter-sweet, and a Tom Collins combines gin with citrus and soda for a refreshing drink.
Does plain gin freeze in a home freezer?
Standard-strength plain gin usually will not freeze solid in a home freezer because alcohol lowers its freezing point. It may become very cold and seem thicker, but a freezer is not necessary for storage and prolonged chilling can dull its aroma.
Does plain gin go bad after opening?
Plain gin does not usually spoil quickly after opening, but contact with air can gradually weaken its aroma and flavour. Keep the cap tightly closed and store the bottle away from heat and sunlight; a bottle with little left may lose flavour faster.
Can plain gin cause a hangover?
Yes, plain gin can cause a hangover because it contains alcohol. How you feel can be affected by the amount and speed of drinking, and sugary mixers can add to the drink’s sweetness without preventing alcohol’s effects. Water does not cancel those effects.
Can you drink plain gin during pregnancy?
No, plain gin is not considered safe to drink during pregnancy. Alcohol crosses the placenta, and there is no established safe amount or time for drinking while pregnant, so avoiding alcoholic drinks throughout pregnancy is the safest choice.

What is Plain Gin?
Plain Gin is a distilled spirit flavoured chiefly with juniper berries, often alongside other botanicals. It developed in Europe and became especially associated with British drinking culture. Served neat, it tastes dry and sharp, with a pine-like juniper aroma and, depending on the blend, hints of citrus or spice.
It is commonly poured with tonic and ice or used in cocktails; in Britain and elsewhere, it may also be served as a small chilled drink before a meal. Plain Gin provides little beyond the energy from its alcohol, with no protein, carbohydrate or fibre. For a lighter-tasting serve, use a modest pour, plenty of ice, soda water and a slice of lemon.
