The Gin & Jenever Menu Very Ginteresting… The story of Genever and Gin has a very long and interesting History. Although today there are many stories and myths ranking around Genever and Gin, one thing is certain: Its roots are here, in the Netherlands. Well, to be precise it started in the Low Countries in the 12th Century; a region that today includes The Netherlands, Belgium and parts of Northern France. At first, it began with medical tonics in which juniper berry- containing low wines were used. With the use of distillation processes the Dutch were the first to develop a Juniper berry spirit in the beginning of the 16th Century. The Genever was born. In 1585 the British Queen Elizabeth I sent her soldiers to the Netherlands to help the protestant Dutch in their revolt against the Catholic King Philip II of Spain. In 1618, The Low Countries once again became a battlefield for the Thirty Years War. During these times, the English troops discovered Genever which they brought back home as the spirit that has given them the Dutch Courage. In England, Gin quickly became very popular. In the 18th Century, it was cheaper than beer and became a National disease. But as much as the British Parliament tried to ban it, the „Gin Craze‟ was not to be stopped. However, due to the release of the „Gin Acts‟ the production got more refined In the Early 19th, Century Gin became very fashionable again as Cocktails emerged. Then once again British soldiers brought something back home to England and the rest of the world. While British troops were in India, they discovered quinine in the Tonic Water to use against Malaria. In Order to make that very bitter drink more tasty, they added Gin: The Gin and Tonic was born and it was Winston Churchill who famously said: “The Gin & Tonic has saved more Englishmen‟s lives and minds than all the doctors in the Empire.” Since then, gin has long been called a grandmother‟s drink. But luckily gin found its way back to the bars and pubs. A whole new generation of gins and gin drinks emerged and with them a new drinking culture. In many countries the long drink glasses were substituted by large balloon glasses. They were filled completely with ice in order to avoid unwelcomed dilution. More and more tonic waters popped up and in no time there were many different combinations of G&T with different fruits, flowers, botanicals and more to find the ultimate G&T experience. „And why all that?‟ you ask?
