FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Does gin contain gluten?
Pure, distilled gin is considered gluten-free. Even if made with grain, the distillation process removes gluten proteins.
How long does an opened bottle of gin last?
An opened bottle of gin will last indefinitely if stored properly, though the flavor may subtly change after a year due to oxidation.
Can gin be stored in the freezer?
Yes, gin will not freeze in a standard home freezer due to its high alcohol content and is often served chilled.
What is the best substitute for gin in cooking?
Vodka with a squeeze of lime and a crushed juniper berry is the best substitute; otherwise, white wine or herbal broth can work.
Is gin vegan?
Most gins are vegan as they are distilled from grain and botanicals. However, some specialty gins (like Old Tom) may use honey.
How do I choose a high-quality gin?
Look for 'London Dry' for a classic juniper-forward profile, or 'New World' gins for more floral and citrus-heavy notes.
What are the main botanicals in gin?
Juniper berries are the primary botanical required by law. Others commonly include coriander seed, angelica root, and citrus peel.
Does gin have sugar?
Standard dry gins contain zero sugar. Flavored gin liqueurs or 'Pink' gins often have significant amounts of added sugar.
