The martini shots gave him the thrust to save the world or to enjoy the night of lust and passion. Although Mr. Bond popularized the drink, still its origin is an issue of dispute, with many countries vying to establish their credentials in the world of alcoholic beverages. But, it is widely believed that the drink has a Dutch origin. The drink was first created by using ripe Juniper berries and grains. Along with Juniper berries, many botanicals like orange peel, cloves, coriander and lemon zests are used to flavor finer gins. You may follow ifood- special list of top 10 gins to experience the thrill and thrust of each label.
