Of the six basic spirits that are used in
cocktail making, gin is the most versatile.
That may seem strange in view of its assertively
perfumed character, but it is precisely the
herb and spice aromatics in its composition
that enable it to blend well with a range
of liqueurs and fruit juices, and even other
spirits. In addition to that, it has in common
with plain vodka, white rum and silver tequila
the useful attribute of colourlessness, so
that it makes a neutral background for some
flamboyant looking creations.
