Gin
Gin is a distilled alcoholic beverage that has it's origin in medicinal liquor made by monks and alchemists across Europe. The historical Gin producing regions are Southern France, Flanders and Netherlands. Gin was originally created to provide aqua vitae from grape and grain distillates.
During the Middle ages, the newly found substance Ethanol was considered by Alchemists to be the water of life, and an aqueous solution of ethanol was in use all over Europe and had different names and is literally the origin of many spirits like Whisky ( from the Gaelic uisce beatha for water of life ). Today Gin is produces from a wide range of ingredients, which gave rise to numerous distinct styles and brands. The predominant flavour of Gin is from the Juniper berries and then each different distillery flavours it further with an assortment of botanicas or herbs, spices, floral and fruit flavours, in different combinations. Gin is commonly drank mixed with Tonic water but it is also often used as a base spirit for many gin based flavoured liqueurs like Sloe Gin.Hpnotiq
Hpnotiq is a Newyork native alcoholic beverage created in 2001 by Raphael Yakoby and his brother Solomon Yakoby with help from Nick Storms, Raphael conceptualised this bright sky blue fruity alcoholic beverage after seeing a blue perfume at Bloomingdale's. Initially the liqueur failed to gain traction with manufacturers but later on the hip-hop music industry picked it up and many like Sean "Diddy" Combs, Kanye West, R. Kelly, Ludacris, Missy Elliot, Jay-Z, Lil' Kim and Fabulous featured this blue Hpnotiq in their videos.
Hpnotiq is bottled in France by Heaven Hill Distilleries and it is 17% ABV or 34 US proof.

Blue Tick Project:We aim at manually validating and verifying each cocktail in their current context and mark them as valid, where, a blue tick would mean that the recipe has been verified and is 100% accurate while an orange tick would mean the recipe has low confidence.
Where as a grey tick would mean that the recipe has not yet been manually validated or verified recently.
